The knee is not just a simple hinge joint as it consists of the joint between the thigh and leg bone and the joint at the front of the knee between the kneecap and the thigh bone.
Pain over the front of the knee when kneeling, squatting, or walking up and down stairs is commonly caused by the patella (kneecap) not gliding correctly over the front of the femur (thigh bone)
Patella mal-tracking is caused by weak quadriceps muscle, poor core stability, loose or tight ligaments, and abnormal foot function.
Treatment usually involves taping the patella, strengthening and stretching exercises, orthoses, and supportive footwear.
Bowlegs or Knock knees and load the knee abnormally, so there is more wear and damage on one side of the knee. This can also be helped by altering the alignment of the leg with wedges in your shoes and assisted by exercises.
