The brachialis works primarily with the biceps brachii and the brachioradialis to flex the elbow; it is unique in that it is a pure elbow flexor and maintains its leverage regardless of forearm position.
The popliteal fossa generally describes the diamond-shaped depression on the posterior knee where the distal thigh joins the proximal leg. Let's look at this muscle's relationship with others.
Trigger points, hypertonicity, strains, sprains, and a host of other complaints are all common causes of low-back pain. In this column, we’ll look at cluneal nerve entrapment.

The sartorius plays an important role in stabilizing both the hip and knee. It works both synergistically and antagonistically with the tensor fasciae latae, gracilis, and semitendinosus to achieve these important functions.
