AB  - The  knee  complex  consists  of  the  tibiofemoral,  proximal  tibiofibular,  and  patellofemoral  joints.  For  this  chapter,  the  tibiofemoral  joint  is  referred  to  as  the  knee.  During  activity,  the  knee  is  susceptible  to  a  variety  of  acute  and  chronic  injuries,  many  of  which  are  related  to  its  limited  mobility  and  location.  During  weight-bearing  activities,  the  knee  moves  through  a  large  range  of  motion  (ROM)  while  bearing  a  significant  amount  of  weight.  Independently  and  during  double  leg  stance,  the  distribution  of  weight  across  the  knees  increases  3  to  4  times  an  individual’s  body  weight  on  level  ground  and  5  to  6  times  when  ascending  and  descending  stairs.1
