Got knee pain? Here's how to strengthen your knees.
Strengthening this important joint in each leg is essential, not only for injured athletes who need rehabilitation to get back on the field or court, but for everyone else to be able to comfortably go about our daily lives without needing crutches or other walking aids.
Understanding the Causes of Knee Pain on the Outer (Lateral) Part of Your Knee
An injury or arthritis most likely causes pain outside the knee. A doctor can determine the cause based on your other symptoms and the results of imaging tests.
Normal Hip Range of Motion
Range of motion (ROM) is a measurement of the distance and direction a joint can move to its full potential. Hip ROM is dictated by the ball-and-socket hip joint, which is made up of the femur (thighbone) and pelvis. They fit together in a way that allows for fluid, repeated motion—and a fair amount of wear and tear—but the joint isn’t indestructible.
Excellent results of restricted kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty at a minimum of 10 years of follow‐up
While restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cemented implants has been shown to provide a similar survivorship rate to mechanical alignment (MA) in the short term, no studies have reported on the long‐term survivorship and function.
Boost Your Mobility With These Gait Training Exercises
Gait training exercises are movements designed to help improve strength, balance and coordination when walking. They may be part of a physical therapy program for a person recovering from a stroke, an injury, or surgery, as well as those dealing with a chronic condition that affects their ability to walk.
