Action: It assists in flexing, weak abduction, lateral rotation of the hip, and flexion of the knee.
Unique Characteristics: It is the longest Muscle in the body.
Common Injury: The sartorius muscle can suffer injury when excessive force causes the upper leg to stretch beyond its capacity. Tissue fibers may partially separate or fully tear, weakening the leg and restricting its motion. A case of snapping in the distal myotendinous junction of the sartorius muscle of a patient who also presented knee hyperextension.

The gastrocnemius starts at the femur and extends down to the calcaneus. While the soleus starts at the fibula and tibia.
Action: Both the gastrocnemius and soleus plantar flexes the foot and the gastocnemius also flexes the leg at the knee joint.
Unique Characteristics: These two muscles are two of the three muscles that form and make up the calf muscle and their aponeuroses unit to form the Achilles tendon.
Common Injury: The most common injury of the gastrocnemius and soleus is a calf strain. A common cause is when a person is to move their calf suddenly or in an unusual direction. The foot can be affected by this injury and the calf region and ankle/foot tend to be swollen. This region would also have pain, especially with standing/ walking. Pain, swelling, and bruising are primary symptoms of this injury.

Action : The Infraspinatus muscle  externally rotates the shoulder, whereas the supraspinatus abducts and flexes. It also helps stabilize the shoulder joint.
Characteristics : These two muscles are two of the four muscles found in the rotator cuff, all which are necessary for shoulder movement.
Common Injury : Rotator cuff tear

Action: flexes the neck and head forward and causes rotation of the head to the left and right
Characteristics: It is one of the largest and most superficial cervical muscles.
Common Injury:
a. whiplash
b. stiffness, muscle fatigue, difficulty holding head upright
c. Torticollis, or a crick in the neck

Action: Abducts thigh at hip; flexes leg at knee
Unique Characteristic: The gracilis is the second longest muscle in the body.
Common Injury:
a. Running (don't stretch), fast change in weight, skiing, horseback riding, doing the splits, etc.
b. Because the gracilis works in opposition with the sartorius the sartorius is a muscle that is normally also affected by injury of the gracilis.
c. A cramp in the thigh/groin area
