An acute, focal neurologic deficit is the hallmark of stroke. Major strokes involve both motor and sensory components. Symptoms may be sudden and maximal at onset (embolic) or intermittent and stuttering (thrombotic). Findings in stroke syndromes depend on the territory of brain suffering infarction.
The primary mover during the seated or lying leg extension exercise is a group of four muscle heads on the front of the thigh, collectively referred to as the quadriceps. The largest muscle head is the rectus femoris, which sits in the center of the front thigh.
The flutter kick uses all the major muscle groups in the legs. These include your gluteus maximus, quadriceps and hamstrings. Whether on your front or your back, you'll also use your calves as well as three muscles in your feet: the abductor hallucis, abductor digiti minimi and flexor digitorum brevis.
