🦵 The Knee Joint: Motion in Action The knee joint is one of the most complex and important joints in the body, allowing for bending, straightening, and rotational movements. It’s stabilized by key ligaments like the ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL, while muscles like the quadriceps and hamstrings provide the power for movement. Together, these structures allow the knee to support body weight, walk, run, and jump. #KneeJoint #Ligaments #MuscleHealth #SciePro #Anatomy #pt #physio #biomechanics #ortho #fit
