| Özet |
| The knee joint consists of tibiofemoral and patellofemoral compartments. The knee joint is vulnerable to traumatic injuries as it is located at the end of long lever arms of two long bones, the femur and tibia. The femoral condyles articulate with the nearly flat proximal articular surface of the tibia. Wide ligaments, joint capsule, menisci, and large muscles take part in the knee stabilization. Therefore, the stabilization is provided by ligaments and muscles surrounding the joint rather than the bone structures. Movements in the knee take place in two planes that allow flexion-extension and internal-external rotation. The soft tissues around the knee joint are usually exposed to large muscular or external forces during various activities. High functional loads on the knee often cause ligament, meniscus, and articular cartilage injuries. A better understanding of knee anatomy and kinesiology is important to understand most of the injury mechanisms and, as a result, to prescribe and implement appropriate rehabilitation programs. In this chapter, characteristics of the non-contractile and contractile anatomical structures of the knee joint, palpation of these structures, the movements occurring in the joint, and the evidence-based exercises for muscles involved in these movements will be explained. |
