Knee

Knee rehabilitation after disease, traumatic conditions and injuries includes diagnostics, careful planning of recovery and restoring function. A good diagnostic work-up is essential to locate the damage and the affected structure. The knee is a complex joint that includes bones, ligaments, tendons, menisci, muscles, the joint capsule, and vascular and nerve structures. The integrated function of the knee and all its parts in relation to the surrounding structures and joints is primarily a matter of muscle activity and joint stability, i.e. the restraint that ligaments and tendons provide during movement. The menisci are cartilage structures that contribute to the congruence of movement.
