The major muscles in the upper leg are the hamstrings and quadriceps. The hamstrings are three muscles at the back of the thigh that affect hip and knee movement. The quadricepsâthe strongest and leanest muscles in the bodyâare a four-muscle group at the front of the thigh that work to extend the knee and lower leg. The knee is a pivot-like hinge joint in the leg that connects the bones in the upper and lower leg. It is the largest joint in the human body.
The extensor digitorum longus muscle is located at the front of the leg and is adjacent to the peroneus brevis muscle and the tibialis anterior muscle. This wing-shaped muscle works to extend the foot at the ankle, along with the four smallest toes.
