    Hoping these can finally help. Have had knee issues since I was 13, am 24 now, and it's impacted everything athletically I wanna do. Lift weights? Knee weakness causes imbalances. Cycling? Improper mechanics. Running? (which is the worst one) Knee weakness that has a knock on effect and causes shin splints

    Hi, thanks for the informative videos. It seams that your knee is popping at 1:43 . My knee does the same when I bend in the same position. It began to pop since last year without a trauma. I’ve no pain even if I cycle or hike for hours. Mobilization can help? Have I to be worried?

    • @RehabScience
      @RehabScience  10 місяців тому

      Knee popping or a crepitus like this is quite common and nothing to be worried about if you don’t experience pain, or haven’t suffered a recent trauma to your knee. More recent research actually suggests that this popping sound may be a sign that the joint is well lubricated.

    Thank you for such an in-depth informative video -- I was in a car accident almost 15 years ago - I lost the bottom 1/4 of my right kneecap and was told I'd never have full range of motion ... I worked hard to get it all back - and I did ... I was also told I'd never run again ... well, NEVER say Never, right? I have since run 9 marathons, 24 halfs and countless other races - and am now training for the full ironman (again, dnf'd in 22) ... ANYWAY ... my knee has been feeling super stiff lately and clicking when I go down stairs ... it also has a lot of 'crunching sounds' when I bend it ... which I'm attributing to scar tissue build up - which is probably causing the stiffness ... anyway - long story, short ... I'm definitely going to start doing these exercises - I believe it will really help me. THANK YOU!!!✌

      If you have patellar tendon inflammation, you will want to strengthen the patellar tendon gradually once your pain has calmed down. Here is a link with a few example exercises.
      ua-cam.com/video/Ts_XTQamGEs/v-deo.htmlsi=UYi8uDOmBIFEvMgH
      If the pain is related to the joint behind your patella, which is called patellofemoral pain, then you would want to try the exercises in the following link.
      ua-cam.com/video/bjHD-sYTFp4/v-deo.htmlsi=Ec7gSSQfkaHUqDv0
      Both of these videos only include a few example exercises. If you want more comprehensive programs, I would recommend getting my book as it has comprehensive programs for both patellar tendon pain and patellofemoral joint pain.

  • @deborahdarcy6268
    @deborahdarcy6268 8 місяців тому

    I thought it was the upper calf that was tight the past year. but the 2nd one It is pulling that I can not even let my left leg go straight down without the stretching pain. last week my leg was so swollen the calf felt like the skin was too tight, slept 35 hours and late in the week was limping, I am better after having a biologic infusion on Thursday but I have very weak legs it seems, the calf wants to give out as does the upper leg. I am wondering because I have A.S. if its all the tendons. I was having problems walking with a straight leg. I also tried to dig up iris over a week ago and had pain in my hip. I will have to try that second one, maybe its the knee and not the tendon attaching the calf.

    Hello, thank you for your videos. I had a question hoping you could answer.. So I tore my ACL like 3 years ago, but as I was recovering from it.. I had heavy commitments at work and I couldn't completely work my way to full recovery. Although knee is relatively stable now, I play soccer occasionally and its holding up well.. but the only thing that has remained.. is that I wasn't able to recover full ROM, so I can only bend the knee around 95-100 degrees I believe.. I have no problem with straightening. Question is, do you think full knee bend can be achieved with exercises even after 3 years of initial injury? Because m afraid if I can damage it in a way if I try to bend it further? Thank you :)

    • @RehabScience
      @RehabScience  2 роки тому +3

      Congrats on getting admitted to a great program! My biggest piece of advice is probably to really put yourself in the mindset of studying and going to classes with the intention of shaping yourself as a future clinician rather than just trying to memorize information for exams. Besides that, I would treat your DPT program like a full-time job and try to avoid taking on other major commitments. The program really takes up most of your time, and when you’re not at class, you’ll be studying. Having said this, definitely make sure to allocate time for fun on the weekends and exercise on the weekdays. It’s all about being disciplined with your schedule.

    • @RehabScience

      If something is physically blocking the movement, you may need to have imaging done to make sure there isn’t a more significant meniscus tear. If it’s just a feeling of locking, then posterior tibial glide mobilizations can help.

    • @RehabScience
      @RehabScience  13 днів тому

      Gaining knee mobility after a total knee replacement is often quite challenging and usually requires a physical therapist to apply external force with their hands to help the knee bend and straighten more. Was your physical therapist using their hands to help push your knee into more flexion/bend?

    • @RehabScience
      @RehabScience  Рік тому +1

      If your leg is out in front of you, the bend is probably due to tightness in your hamstring muscles. As your hip moves higher into flexion with your knee straight, the hamstrings are put on tension. When they hit their maximum flexibility point, it will cause your knee to bend.
