Knee stability
Knee stability refers to the knee's ability to maintain proper alignment and function during movement, preventing unwanted wobbling or slipping. It relies on a combination of bones, muscles, ligaments, and cartilage working together. Ligaments, such as the ACL and PCL, act like strong straps to hold the bones in the right position, while muscles help support and control movement. When these structures are healthy and balanced, the knee can support activities like walking, running, and jumping without injury or excess movement. Proper knee stability is essential for safe, efficient movement and overall joint health.
