      Could you explain why hamstring weakness could cause knee hyperextension in mid-stance?

      Individuals with profound hamstring and/or plantarflexor weakness may have knee hyperextension in mid-stance due to a lack of eccentric control of knee extension (i.e., normally functioning hamstrings or plantarflexors could prevent the knee from snapping into hyperextension).
