Injury) Anatomy of the knee: Two bones meet to form your knee joint: the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). Your kneecap sits in front of the joint to provide some protection. Bones are connected to other bones by ligaments. There are four primary ligaments in your knee. They act like strong‚ supportive ropes that help hold the bones together and keep your knee stable. Collateral Ligaments. These ligaments are found on the medial and lateral sides of your knee. The medial collateral ligament

are the most common knee injury‚ they can be fixed with therapy or surgery. I’ve played softball since I was five years old‚ when I had to have two knee surgeries in less than a year it was very devastating. The information we will go over in the next few minutes will hopefully help everyone to understand the importance of ACL’s‚ how they are injured‚ and finally how they are treated and prevented. The anterior cruciate ligament is one of four major ligaments’ that make the knee work. Let’s take

shown VM plays significant role in medial stabilizing the patella. The two head of the VM provided different stability of the patella. The VM longus contributes to knee extension‚ and VM oblique provide medial stabilization of patella during knee extension (Hubbard et al 1997). VMO provide greater stability of the patella compare to VML in knee extension in the particular individual‚ due to the angular orientation of the VMO muscle fibre (Nozic et al

knees. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint‚ which means it can move in all directions. The knee joint is a compound condylar synovial joint and allows for flexion and extension of the leg. In this experiment the angle‚ angular velocity‚ and the angular acceleration of the knee and hip were analyzed in oscillatory motion. In the first set of experiments‚ the independent oscillation of the hip and knee were isolated and observed. Then the oscillation of these joints was viewed in conjunction while

Intro Background One of the most common injuries to the knee involves the anterior cruciate ligament; also known as the ACL. The knee is set up as a central point where three bones meet together forming the knee itself. These bones are the femur (thigh bone)‚ shinbone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). All of which are connected to other bones by ligaments. The four primary ligaments in the knee are the LCL (lateral collateral ligament)‚ PCL (posterior cruciate ligament)‚ MCL (medial collateral
