Wikipedia
Hindlimb
A hindlimb or back limb is one of the paired articulated appendages (limbs) attached on the caudal (posterior) end of a terrestrial tetrapod vertebrate's torso. With reference to quadrupeds, the term hindleg or back leg is often used instead. In bipedal animals with an upright posture (e.g. humans and some primates), the term lower limb is often used.

hindlimb
A hindlimb refers to any of the rear limbs or legs on an animal, including humans, that is typically used for locomotion, balance or propulsion. In animals with four legs, it would be the two back legs. In birds, it is often used for perching or hunting. In humans, the term can be used to describe the entire lower limb, from hip to foot. The specific structure and usage of the hindlimb can vary greatly depending on the species.
