🦵 Exploring Knee Biomechanics in Athletics 🏃‍♂️

In the world of sports physical therapy, understanding the intricacies of the knee joint is like having a secret playbook for optimizing athlete performance and preventing injuries.

🧠 Anatomy: The knee, a complex hinge joint, is composed of the femur, tibia, and patella. Ligaments like the ACL and PCL provide stability, while the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles act as dynamic stabilizers during movement.

🔧 Biomechanics: When an athlete runs, jumps, or pivots, the knee experiences forces, like compression and shear, that must be managed. It’s a delicate balance of stability and mobility that we monitor closely to enhance performance and minimize risk.

🔄 Osteokinematics: The knee’s range of motion and kinematics during different athletic activities are crucial. Understanding how the knee flexes, extends, and rotates in response to various demands helps us tailor rehabilitation and training programs.

🌟 As sports physical therapists, we’re like the engineers of an athlete’s knee, fine-tuning its mechanics for peak performance and injury resilience. 🏆💪

That ligament looks like it would be unstable folded like that, like it would snap off the bone. Idk anything about biomechanics tho, so maybe i'm just wrong.
