Knee Joint Anatomy: Muscle Actions

[@SierraNunes0022]

I like how Dr. Goodin started by giving a clear overview of the muscle groups around the knee before diving into each one in detail. This method really helped me understand and organize the actions of these muscles.

[@GioiaGiorgi]

I like the description of the muscles and their actions and then having the pictures of the muscles and their actions at the end.

[@SageFisher-q3r]

Dr. Goodin does a great job of doing an overview of the.groups of muscles that cross the knee before discussing them individually. This really helped me organize the muscles actions for the knee.

[@shelbyriem]

I like the super clear explanation of the Q angle and what the angle actually comes from. It is so helpful to visualize it

[@AnnikaStresz-r4h]

the labeled arrows showing the direction of the muscle action on the diagrams were extremely helpful! great job picking out such detailed/clear ones

[@ElizabethSatterlee]

I liked how Dr. Goodin drew out the directions of the muscle actions with arrows, it really helped me visualize them more clearly.

[@SamPatten-cb3fo]

I liked how Dr. Goodin went into detail on every muscle involved in making up the knee.

[@SydneyManders-l9k]

The arrow labeling the muscles made it very clear and easy to understand

[@sierraedgecomb2647]

I’ve heard of the "Q angle" before, but it was great to finally get a clear explanation of it. Learning about the lower body is not only useful for injury prevention but also for targeting muscles in workouts. I also liked how the video grouped muscles together before explaining their actions, which made it easier to understand how they affect the knee.

[@KayleeEubank]

Dr. Goodin, I appreciated the explanation that you gave of the Q angle, as well the labeled arrows pointing to the muscle movements and directions. You gave very clear explanations.

[@JennaDeFalkenberg]

The diagrams in these videos always help me visualize and understand the information better!

[@isabellefernandez-es1ej]

I really appreciated the in depth explanation of the Q angle. I found it to be super helpful along with the diagrams.

[@KatieGonella]

Great breakdown of how different muscles contribute to knee movement! I hadn’t realized how much the hamstrings and quadriceps work together to stabilize the joint.

[@RyanDoyle-o4t]

Seeing him draw the direction of the muscle actions was super helpful. This, alongside great descriptions, makes a great video.

[@shelby-omara]

This was a great refresher on these knee joint muscle actions! It is helpful to group the muscles by location because they have similar actions and it makes it easier to memorize.

[@JuliaDombrowski-h4m]

This video will be a great tool for studying in the future. By breaking down the muscle groups individually, it makes it easier to understand and compartmentalize the actions of the mucles.

[@AlanaGilliland18]

I love how detailed the descriptions of the muscle actions were. It was super informative and I will definitely be using this video as a reference in the future.

[@hectorcardenas5550]

It was a good tidbit to put in how having slight knee extension at a sprint start is much more effective way to get that explosive start rather than being flexed and low to the ground. A lot of good practical application examples in this video.

[@KarinaBrambila04]

I liked how you drew arrows when explaining the importance of strengthening your quadricep muscles all together so it does not cause patellar tracking issues since each muscle pulls in a different direction.

[@BrianaReynoso]

I always love the structure of the "muscle action" videos because it helps me organize how I should study!

[@LukeMoore-cx4iz]

I like how you always group the muscles before moving into their actions. This helps me to remember the groups that have a shared action on the knee.

[@JoshMurray-x7y]

I really liked the explanation of the Q angle and how strengthening the muscles at the hip can actually help reduce the overall Q angle and contributes to injury prevention in that way. The review of the muscles and explaining how many of them are biarticulate was also useful.

[@ChloeCapello]

I appreciated the diagrams shown in the video, along with the explanations of the actions. Seeing where the muscles are located helps me visualize their actions!

[@KelseyWilliams-vr8kn]

I've had professors reference the Q angle before but no one has actually explained to me what it means. Thank you!

[@TarynTate]

The diagrams were very helpful, and more specifically the colored parts indicating what he is talking about or explaining.

[@CharlieHuter]

I enjoyed how he drew the angle and direction of the muscle which was super helpful.

[@EmileeWoods-ho3qm]

Im so glad that the musculature for the knee is more review from the hip unit because it makes it so much easier to remember!

[@greciacontreras6577]

I really enjoyed this video because it gave me tips and examples of explaining certain muscle actions, there were simple but effective descriptions.

[@laurennicole1463]

I appreciated how detailed this video was in explaining and differentiating the different muscles that affect the knee joint. The Q angle was something I never really understood until this video so l really appreciate that

[@JosephBatres0000]

This video was helpful in learning the muscles involved in the movement knee movement.

[@karatemplin]

I’ve always heard “Q angle” but have never had it explained to me in detail before. Thank you for filling in those gaps!

[@mollytucker567]

The detailed explanation of each of the muscles that are involved in the movements of the knee helped me better understand what the specific movements of each muscle are.

[@emmafrazier204]

Learning about the lower extremities is awesome because it can be tied into injury prevention as well as building muscle for a certain workout. I think it's so cool to learn about how each part of the body plays such a huge role in our everyday function.

[@devinito7660]

Watching the muscle action videos after the bony landmarks and joint actions always helps me because it is easier to understand what the muscles do after learning all the background information.

[@IvyBartlett]

The significance of the Q angle is fascinating, highlighting the considerable impact it holds. It's truly remarkable how physics influences our movement and its effectiveness.

[@luciavaldez2601]

This video showed me how the knee joints work with the hip and pelvic girdle. The description of each muscle was also very in-depth and helpful for memorization.

[@EthanDPLNU]

I appreciated your comments about strengthening the vastus medialis to counteract the pull of an above normal Q angle and thus, slightly decrease your chances of a knee injury.

[@maceygroves6031]

I really loved the deeper understanding of the human body that I got from this video. Everything is so connected and its crazy.

[@JoeyPagola]

It was very cool to see the grouping of the quadriceps and hamstrings together then individual. It shows how they function together and then is able to describe how each muscle contributes to their specific movements.

[@NoelleDarquea]

So many muscles involved in the knee joint. Lots to memorize but so interesting to learn about

[@katherine_heekin]

I like how Dr. Goodin mentions the relationship that the muscle's location has with the muscle action, like how the quadricep muscles are located anteriorly and perform knee extension (pulling the lower leg anteriorly). Knowing the muscle's location helps with understanding their actions.

[@chaseplott3199]

The knee has been my favorite lecture series. It is interesting to see muscles we observed in the hip functions also used in the knee movements.

[@macynunez4455]

So interesting how muscle actions have a lot to do with knee health. I appreciated you describing the lines of pull, that always helps provide a clearer understanding. I think the knee might be my favorite series!

[@evakoutelieris9550]

I really like how in depth and descriptive the video is, it is so helpful to get a full understanding.

[@SavannaHouse]

I always enjoy the muscle action videos because of the detailed explanations of each muscle in a certain area, today the knee. The video connected multiple muscles and how they work together which helped me understand the grouping and action connection of muscles.

[@JacobCampman]

I've often heard about the Q angle but never knew what it was referring to. Thank you for covering that.

[@Chasebowen23]

Thank you for explaining Q angle in depth

[@gaelruiz488]

Learning about the hip joint muscles and the way they contract made this lecture a bit easier since some concepts were just review. All these video are very easy and effective for us to understand.

[@jakebergherm2786]

it's so interesting how big of an impact the Q angle has. It is incredible how much physics plays a role in our movement and the efficiency of that movement.

[@aleucht]

You really helped break down the musculature of the knee well. It feels overwhelming at first but this video helped!

[@gracehalcomb]

I like how you included examples in this video to show the muscle actions (like with the football kicker) because this helps me visualize it.

[@vanessaviramontesPLNU]

Dr. Goodin, You always have the most digestible videos even for the hardest subjects. The Q angle was an interesting topic I have not heard of yet. How fascinating.

[@katemalicdem273]

It feels like I'm in the first semester of anatomy and physiology class. I feel like there is a never-ending talk about the muscles of the knee joint in every kinesiology course!

[@JuliaPinnell]

this was a good review from anatomy to see the individual muscles and their actions that correlate

[@HadenAusland]

I found the idea of the angles interesting and helpful for knee reference.

[@MicahMurphy-ty8oe]

This was an awesome video that helped me visualize the muscle actions and also locations on the human body.

[@ToriLucht]

I appreciated how detailed this video was in explaining and differentiating the different muscles that affect the knee joint. Also, the Q angle was something I never truly understood until this video so I appreciate that!

[@ReaganCole-f4k]

The images that you used make it a lot easier to understand!

[@tianguyen3897]

I enjoyed learning more about the Q angle and how it can effect injury probability. This video was incredibly helpful. Thanks!

[@ChristianScandrett]

Great video, I always appreciate how you group each muscle together based on action, it makes the muscles much easier to understand and learn.

[@ChristopherBarrena]

I found the diagrams that Dr. Goodin provided were very helpful.

[@cassandraluciani9933]

I thought this video was very interesting! I thought the Q angle explanation was interesting and helpful. He did a really good job of explaining the muscle actions of the knee.

[@SamBrown-bd5bh]

I liked the explanation of what determines the Q angle, I had heard about the Q angle in other classes but never knew what actually determined the angle

[@MarkChallitaa]

I liked how later on in the video, in the muscle slides, the muscle was stated, and then each action was stated separately on the side of the slide while there was an image to reference to.

[@SkylervandenBerg]

The images you include on the slides are helpful to refer to when talking about the function of muscles, understanding the location of various muscles helps me better understand their functions.

[@faithsanchez7000]

I had just finished leaning back and crossing my legs when you explained how the sartorius plays a crucial role in this action (and why this is probably so comfortable).

[@KendraPhillips37]

I loved learning about these muscles! I really enjoy learning about the knee.

[@livingston-b]

The Q angle was a super interesting topic to learn about, having never heard about it before. It made lots of sense when Dr. Goodin explained that certain activities, such as cutting, can increase this angle, even though many muscles and ligaments stabilize the knee joint.

[@ltapia0022]

I appreciate the grouping of the muscles first before going into the specifics of each one. It makes it easier to understand their function when knowing their function as a group first.

[@hannahlien5137]

I thought this video was really thorough in breaking down the actions of the muscles because there are so many! I also liked how you really connected the knee joint to the hip and ankles to show that one area can have such a vast effect on other joints.

[@AshleyHume-x7y]

I found the Q angle really interesting, I never knew where the angle came from but it's great to know!

[@DerekLinck]

Learning about the Q angle for me, is a relatively new piece of information I'm learning. Your explanation of the Q angle was very helpful in understanding it.

[@nataliemiller4608]

It’s really interesting to think about how muscles from the previous unit (hip/pelvic girdle) act on the hip compared to how they act on/with the knee! I love how everything we’ve learned is coming together!

[@lisahopoi9029]

This was such a great video to learn more about the knee actions and how to prevent injuries which is really important!

[@joshwillbanks851]

This was a really great review of the anatomy of the muscles causing movements at the knee joint! Especially when you tied in what muscles aid in knee health, that brings in even more specificity of each muscles movements and roles! So cool!

[@maggiewolf5692]

I love learning about the lower extremity muscles because of how many times myself or teammates have had problems with them! And it all just makes so much sense as you learn more and more about these movements and the muscles

[@dianalira6870]

This video was a great review on the muscles involved in the knee joint. Also, remembering the definition of biarticulate and how risky injuries to the knee are.

[@KatelinNeff]

Learning about the lower extremity muscle actions has been so interesting, so much goes on down there.

[@hannahchacon9621]

The descriptions of each muscle unit was very thorough and informative. Great video!

[@Monaz185]

The Q angle is so important, I did not know too much on it, so that was very helpful! It's interesting to learn about the differences between men and women body structures when they differ in function due to the differences in the structures.

[@hannahkefalas9995]

The Q angle explanation was really helpful for me!

[@KeeganDeBever]

It is easy to follow and take notes because the video is sectioned off by different topics and muscles. I've been enjoying learning more about this for injury prevention as well as my own personal information about how to have a better lift.

[@emmaforney5084]

This was a great review of the muscles. It's crazy how many actions the hamstrings have!

[@kolbysowvlen2386]

I did not know about the Q angle previously. This was very interesting to learn about as well as the importance.

[@ellieconiaris9073]

This was super interesting to learn about the muscles around the knee and to learn about injury prevention of such a commonly injured joint

[@NathanHanson-gt2kq]

Great explanations of the knee joint musculature. The popliteus is not frequently mentioned and I like how you touched on how it assists in internal rotation.

[@raneybledsoe8206]

I found this video very helpful in understanding the different movements of the muscles in the knee. I think that having many motions from the last section will help to better understand the knee joint.

[@jessiesophie]

I liked hearing about the Q angle because it’s such an interesting topic when looking at how it affects an injury!

[@sydneycheng231]

Learning more about the body and seeing how everything comes together is always really interesting and informative.

[@miadenava585]

Thank you for going into detail on the muscles and their actions! This video is extremely helpful.

[@elisemoreno6252]

This video was a great review from anatomy! One thing that really interested me was the Q angle, how it varies between males/females, and how you can correct abnormalities to this by strengthening certain muscles!

[@PLNUstephaniekhin]

when looking at the images provided on the slides, its much appreciated for you to draw points on the images along with explaining as you are going.

[@kaileegross1610]

This video was very helpful in gaining understanding of the Q angles.

[@alexiaharlow8565]

I really like how much you went into the Q angle. It is something i've always wondered about since you always hear that women tear their ACL more often because of the anatomy but I never fully understood why. This really helped me better understand that and the importance of knee strengthening plans for female athletes.

[@AnnaEngels0022]

Learning about the "Q angle" was so interesting! I knew that females traditionally are more affected by knee injuries, but it's cool to learn about why that might be true.

[@valenciaanzoandrade5878]

Learning the different parts to each muscle group has been extremely helpful in learning about ways to build muscle and possible injuries,

[@HenryDaRe-v8o]

The Q angle is super neat; especially how women have a higher q angle because of their wider pelvis. The knee is structurally sound due to the ligaments; but because of this Q angle, we can put a lot of stress on those ligamentous structures. The hamstrings were also super fun to review! I like that Doctor G mentioned that we don’t want to over strengthen certain muscles because it can cause bad form over time (& maybe even an injury).

[@emilymerkes8707]

In this video, Dr. Goodin discussed the muscles of the knee. First he discussed the quad muscles. Then he discussed the Q angle. Learning how the Q angle is formed and why a greater Q angles causes more instability in the knee was very interesting. I like how you discussed how people with higher than normal Q angles can try to counteract that by maintaining the strength of the vastus medialis. I didn't know that and thought it was very interesting. Then he discussed the hamstring group and the two joint muscles and how they are most effective when the origin or insertion is stabilized. Then he discussed all the knee muscles and their actions. I like when the actions of the individual actions are named as it makes it easier to remember after going over them.

[@anniederrick5397]

I got a out of this video and it really helped me understand the Q angle more! It has been difficult to understand but it makes sense how people with higher Q angles need to strengthen certain muscles to counteract the pull.

[@jakegonzales1367]

I love the antamoy of the knee joint muscles, I find it so interesting and complex.
