Question

Suggest corrective measures for knock-knee deformities. 

Answer 1

• Strengthen Hip Abductors/External Rotators: Perform exercises like clam shells, side-lying leg raises, and hip abduction with bands to stop knees from collapsing inward.
• Stretch Tight Muscles: Target inner thighs (adductors) and internal rotators to alleviate the inward pull on the knees.
• Knee Stabilisation: Engage in squats and lunges while ensuring proper alignment (knees aligned over toes) to retrain proper movement patterns.
• Weight Management: Reducing body weight can decrease the pressure on the knee joints.
