Lesson 21 - Knee position

Knee position or sagittal lower limb alignment is connected to increased risk in traumatic and overuse injury in the knees as well as early degeneration. It can also contribute to malalignments in foot and ankle, and pelvic postures, and therefore plays a central role in global posture assessments. In this lesson we cover how to make the measurement and discuss the implications of the results.
