The three muscles that aid on knee flexion are the semitendiosus, semimembranosus, and the biceps femoris. None of these muscles are considered the prime mover because they all cross two joints. Therefore all three of the muscles are considered to be synergist.
The three muscles that make up the hamstring muscle group: the bicep femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus and the rectus femoris, one of the quadriceps muscles, all act as knee extensors and hip flexors.
the muscles are -
1.biceps femoris
2.3 vasti
these 4 are collectively known as quadriceps femoris
hamstrings; haven't found the answer to which one is most dominant yet. good luck
The prime flexor at the hip is the rectus femoris with help from the iliopsoas.
The knee is a joint, and as such it doesn't "flex." However, the act of engaging the knee joint results in flexion of the lower leg, and the muscle that flexes the lower leg is the hamstring.

What muscle is the primary mover for knee flexion?
The prime mover for knee flexion is biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus. The prime mover for knee extension is the Quadriceps â?? vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris
Prime mover knee flexion?
The prime mover for knee flexion is the hamstring muscle group, including the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. These muscles originate from the ischial tuberosity in the pelvis and insert on the tibia and fibula, allowing them to flex the knee joint when contracting. Strengthening these muscles through exercises like hamstring curls can improve knee flexion strength and function.
What is the term for biceps brachii during elbow flexion?
prime mover (agonist)Not sure what you're asking here, but the biceps brachii is the prime mover facilitating flexion at the elbow joint.
A prime mover of ankle planter flexion?
Gastrocnemius
What is the prime mover for arm flexion?
Pectoralis major
Prime mover for shoulder flexion?
The prime mover for shoulder flexion is the anterior deltoid muscle. This muscle is responsible for lifting the arm forward and upward at the shoulder joint.
A prime mover of ankle plantar flexion?
tiil adidas
Is the knee a prime mover?
yes
Prime mover for shoulder flexion and adduction?
Do you mean flexion and (abd)uction?? If so, the prime mover would be the deltoid muscle with many smaller muscles assisting. If you are in fact meaning flexion and adduction, the prime mover would be the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi with many smaller muscles assisting.
What is the prime mover for knee extension?
quadraceps
If a prime mover produces flexion its antagonist will be?
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.
What is the antagonist muscle in ankle plantar flexion?
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
