Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hamstring muscles are responsible for flexing the knee, so paralysis of these muscles would make an individual unable to perform this movement. The gluteal muscles are responsible for hip extension, the soleus is responsible for plantar flexion of the foot, and the brachioradialis is responsible for flexion of the elbow. None of these muscles are directly involved in knee flexion.
