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).
Both the gastrocnemius and the soleus run the entire length of the lower leg, connecting behind the knee and at the heel. A third muscle, the plantaris muscle, extends two-to-four inches down from the knee and lies between the gastrocnemius and the soleus.he gastrocnemius branches at the top behind the knee; the two branches are known as the medial and lateral heads. The flexing of this muscle during walking and bending of the knee creates traction on the femur, pulling it toward the tibia in the lower leg and causing the knee to bend.
