 Knee is
considered to be the largest joint of a
human body. As known to all of us it
joints the lower leg with the thigh and
comprises of two articulations. The first
articulation is located between tibia and
femur whereas the second one is found
between the patella and femur. Being a
central hinge point knee allows the body
to complete the tasks of flexion as well
as extension. It is a trocho-ginglymus
mobile in nature and permits a slight
lateral and medial rotation too. Since the
weight of whole body depends on knee
joints to a great extent it is very
important to take care of the same. Even
if a small injury or pain is experienced
the same would need to get checked by the
expert professional. However, in this
context it is important to know the
problems that may arise as far as the knee
joints, ankles and braces are concerned.

HOW DO THE KNEES
WORK?
The knee is meeting
point of the bones of the upper leg with
that of the lower leg. Knees allow hinge
like movement that makes human body strong
and stable enough to bear the weight of
the body. Knees improve the flexibility of
the leg joints and also make the motions
like walking, crouching, running, turning
or jumping easier.
