The hamstring muscle group consists of three separate muscles; the semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris. They originate from the lower part of the pelvis and insert into the back of the shin bone. When contracting they mainly bend the knee and extend (straighten) the hip joint.
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.
