Popliteus Muscle Release - Motion Specific Release

Popliteus Muscle Release - Motion Specific Release - The popliteus muscle plays a crucial role in knee joint mechanics and is often referred to as "The Key of the Knee." This muscle is responsible for "unlocking" the knee when the leg is in an extended position, allowing for flexion and unlocking of the joint. Beyond this function, the popliteus muscle also performs several essential actions during the gait cycle.

To better understand the anatomy and biomechanics of the popliteus muscle, it's important to consider the structure and function of the knee joint. The knee joint consists of three bones, including the femur, tibia, and patella. The popliteus muscle originates from the lateral femoral condyle and inserts into the posterior tibia.

During the gait cycle, the popliteus muscle plays a vital role in controlling the rotational movements of the knee joint. Specifically, it helps to initiate internal rotation of the tibia during the swing phase of gait and provides stability during the stance phase.
