5,Knee joint ligament injury

When knee has a slight flexion,the stability is relatively poor, if at this time suddenly knee is subject to external force that leads to genu valgus or varus, it may cause medial or lateral collateral ligament injury. Clinical studies have shown that medial collateral ligament injury is accounted for the vast majority. Taking this injury for example, patients will have a clear history of trauma. There are medial knee pain and tenderness, the pain will increase when leg has passive outreach.Medial knee swelling will have ecchymosis a few days later. Knee movement will be limited.

When many people exercise, they often do leg stretching exercises firstly, who don’t know that leg stretching exercises is the main cause of knee injury. In exercise, the knee is under great pressure, you must have an appropriate warm-up in order to avoid from injury. You exercise without warm-up, that equals to without natural lubrication to joints, knee movement of course does not work well. In addition, the cold and taut muscles also is not conducive to the smooth operation of the joint. Sudden start or end of action, will tear around the muscles around the joints, causing or exacerbating the excessive use of injury.

If you overweight 5 kg, that is equivalent to carry more than 20 kilograms of "fat" when climbing the stairs each time !
