The Knee
The knee is the biggest joint in the body and one of the most commonly injured joints. It is susceptible to traumatic injuries because it is located on the end of two long bones – the femur and the tiba. The knee relies on its ligaments and muscles to provide stability, not the bony anatomy. The knee is prone to acute injuries, age related wear and tear injuries, and arthritis.
Many knee injuries are caused by muscle imbalances, improper training/loading, abnormal structure/alignment, and/or trauma. Depending on the severity of the injury, knee pain can be minor or lead to disability. If the pain, swelling, or instability lasts more than a few days, it is recommended to get the knee formally assessed.
