To Investigate the Anatomy and Function of the Popliteus Muscle
David Bryde, Linda Khong, Palina Karakasidou, Nessa Waters, Michael Wong
Conclusion
The popliteus muscle is very much underrated in relation to its functional role as a knee stabiliser. Further studies would be required to quantify the proposals presented in this study, thereby taking the muscle from its “forgotten” status to one that is recognised and clinically appreciated.
