The popliteus is a small muscle that runs behind the knee. Due to its small size compared to the hamstrings above and the calf below, it is often overlooked in knee and lower leg injuries. It also isn't a very strong muscle, which adds to its relative obscurity. It is, however, of paramount importance to athletes.
It can tear if you: 1  Twist your knee while keeping your foot planted on the ground. 2  Stop suddenly while running. 3  Suddenly shift your weight from one leg to the other. 4  Jump and land on an extended (straightened) knee. 5  Stretch the knee farther than you should. 6  Experience a direct hit to the knee.
