The hamstring muscles actively bend (flex) the knee. They also act to straighten or (extend) the hip (as in the motion of moving the thigh backward). Surprisingly, these large muscles are not very active with normal walking or standing. However, they are extremely important in power activities such as running, jumping, and climbing.
The hamstring muscle fibers gradually become tendon fibers near the knee to attach to bone. One can appreciate the thick tendon bands when feeling behind the knee joint. The hamstring muscle is balanced by the quadriceps muscles on the front of the thigh that cause the knee to extend. Together the hamstrings and the quadriceps help control power and stability of the knee joint, allowing activities like walking, running, jumping, and squatting.
