Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease affecting millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. This condition primarily affects older adults, but it can also occur in younger individuals due to injury, overuse, or genetic predisposition.
Navigating Meniscus Tears
The meniscus, often referred to as the knee's shock absorber, is a C-shaped cartilage nestled between the femur and tibia . This crucial structure not only provides stability but also helps distribute weight evenly, preventing friction and wear on the joint.
Femoropatellar Syndrome Unveiled
Femoropatellar Syndrome, also known as patellofemoral pain syndrome, is characterized by pain around or behind the kneecap (patella). This condition is particularly prevalent among individuals engaged in activities requiring repetitive knee motion, such as running, jumping, or squatting.
MPFL
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is one of many ligaments that make part of the complex that stabilizes the knee joint. The MPFL connects the interior of the patella (kneecap) to the femur, the long bone of the thigh.
Exercises for jumper’s knee
Patellar tendonitis, sometimes referred to as jumper's knee, is a condition marked by inflammation of the tendon. This joins the patella (the kneecap) to the shin bone (tibia). Your tendon is weakened by jumper's knee, which, if left untreated, can cause tears in the tendon. Jumper's knee is a repeated mechanical stress injury of the
Shin Splints
Shin splints occur when the muscles and bones in the lower part of the leg pull and tug at their insertion on the shin bone (the tibia) and it becomes inflamed (irritated and swollen) and painful. Athletes often have shin pain because they put repeated stress on the shin bone, muscles, and connective tissues. Doctors
Patellofemoral pain syndrome
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is pain at the front of your knee, around your kneecap (patella). Sometimes called "runner's knee," it's more common in people who participate in sports. It’s usually non-traumatic with diffuse pain gradually presenting around the patella with squatting, jumping, running, or going up and downstairs. Symptoms may also present with kneeling or prolonged periods of
Are Leg extensions safe after ACLR?
We used to believe that OKC exercises, like leg extension, post-ACLR, or the rehab plan will place a lot of stress on the ACL graft and lead to ligamentous laxity. Let’s first take a look at the amount of strain on the ACL put during leg extension exercise CKC exercises, and some daily life functional tasks. The
