Muscle: Quadricep Femoris

The quadriceps femoris is a powerful muscle in the hindquarters. The quadriceps femoris muscle, inserting to the patella, serves to extend the stifle joint. It may assist in keeping the patella in locked position. The direction of pull of its three main portions, the vastus medialis, re**us femoris and vastus lateralis.

Function:

All four of the quadricep femoris muscles have a similar function. They protract the hindlimb (bring it forward) by extending the stifle (knee) joint. Let's take a closer look at each quadricep muscle.

Three of the quadricep muscles are very similar. The Vastus Medialis is the most medial (inside) of the vastus muscles. The vastus lateralis is the middle quadricep and is the most lateral (outside). All three of these muscles extend and stabilize the stifle joint.

The Re**us Femoris is a little different. This muscle originates on the illum (pelvis), meaning that in addition to extending and stabilizing the stifle, it can also flex the hip joint.

All of the quadriceps femoris muscles have different origins, but merge together into a single insertion point just above the intermediate patellar ligament.

Semimembranosus:

The semimembranosus is the most medial of the hamstring muscles & is found on the inner thigh of the horse. It is a superficial muscle that is easy to see & palpate.

𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
Similar to the other hamstring muscles the biceps femoris & semitendinosus, the semimembranosus works to retract the hindlimb. It does this by extending the hip joint. In addition the semimembranosus is able to adduct & internally rotate the hindlimb.

Biceps Femoris:

This week we will be taking a look at one of the most powerful and complex muscles of the hindquarters, the biceps femoris. The Biceps Femoris is one of three hamstring muscles. Out of the three hamstrings, the biceps femoris is the largest & most lateral (farthest from the midline).

Biceps - A muscle with two points of attachment.

Femoris - Latin for femur. The long bone in the upper leg.

This means that the biceps femoris is a muscle with two points of attachment and is closely tied to the femur bone.

Funtion:

The biceps femoris has two origins. The first origin is along the sacral & caudal vertebrae, as well as the gluteal fascia and sacrotuberous ligament. The second origin is on the ischial tuberosity, which is the back part of the pelvis.

Moving down from the origins, the biceps femoris splits into three parts which are easily visible on many horses. These three parts include many insertion points including the patella (stifle), patella ligaments, tibia, achilles tendon and all of the surrounding crural fascia. One of the insertion points even goes down to the calcaneus, which is the bone at the back of the hock.

Because of the Biceps Femoris complexity, it has a wide array of functions. This is one of the few muscles that is able to both extend & flex a joint, in this case the stifle. It is also able to extend the hip and hock as well as abduct the limb (pull away from midline).
