Your patient just took up jogging in the evening for exercise and complains that after a mile or so his left leg begins to hurt. You question him on movements that do or do not evoke pain and find that it is widespread throughout his left lower limb. Based on the location of the constriction of the artery (indicated by the arrow), which movement would you think would be LEAST affected by the reduced arterial blood flow to the concerned muscles? A. Lateral rotation of thigh B. Extension of leg C. Plantar flexion of foot D. Primary flexion of thigh E. Extension of thigh
