What is ADHD? ADHD (attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder) affects both adults and school-aged children. Symptoms include restlessness, difficulty paying attention, and hyperactivity. The causes of ADHD are unknown, however factors such as diet, environment and genetics may contribute to symptoms.
The knee muscles control how the knee joint and patella move. There are two main groups of muscles, the quadriceps and the hamstrings, as well as a small muscle behind the knee (popliteus).
The three muscles of the posterior thigh (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris long & short head) flex (bend) the knee, while all but the short head of biceps femoris extend (straighten) the hip.he hamstrings cross and act upon two joints-the hip and the knee. Semitendinosus and semimembranosus extend the hip when the trunk is fixed; they also flex the knee and medially (inwardly) rotate the lower leg when the knee is bent.
