Lower body muscle groups
Supporting, balancing, and propelling the body is the work of the muscular system of the legs and feet. From the large, strong muscles of the buttocks and legs to the tiny, fine muscles of the feet and toes, these muscles can exert tremendous power while constantly making small adjustments for balance.
Examples of some major leg muscle groups that respond well to motor nerve stimulation are:
Gastrocnemius - forming part of the calf muscle of the lower leg and running from two heads just above the back of the knee to the heel
Hamstrings - 3 posterior thigh muscles, crossing both the hip and knee joints
Quadriceps -a large group of 4 muscles on the front of the thigh
Soleus - a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg, part of the formation of the calf
Tibialis - located near the surface of the front lower leg, originating at the upper part of the tibia bone and connecting to the first metatarsal bone of the foot
