The hamstring comprises three muscles on the back of the thigh: the biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus. These muscles originate from a bony protuberance in the pelvis and extend down to the lower leg. They are important muscles to perform daily activities like running, jumping, and climbing.
