It occurs when the kneecap does not slide optimally in the femoral groove and causes friction. A typical symptom is anterior knee pain, especially when climbing stairs, kneeling or sitting for long periods. The causes can be varied, including muscle weakness, misalignment or overuse due to intensive walking activities. A precise diagnosis is crucial in order to select suitable treatment approaches. Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles, targeted training and adjustments to walking technique are often part of the treatment plan. With the right care, many sufferers can continue their running activities without pain and minimize long-term discomfort.      <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

It is made up of various components: the thigh bone (femur) as the upper part of the joint, the tibia (shin bone) as the lower part, and the kneecap (patella) in front of the joint. The menisci, crescent-shaped cartilage discs, are located between the femur and tibia and are used for stabilization, cushioning and load distribution.  <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">In addition, various ligaments provide stability. The collateral ligaments (medial and lateral collateral ligaments) prevent lateral movements, while the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments) control rotation and forward and backward movements. The joint capsule surrounds the knee joint and contains synovial fluid for lubrication.  <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">The functioning of the knee joint involves flexion and extension, enabling basic activities such as walking, running and jumping. It also allows limited rotation and turning movements, with the menisci distributing loads evenly. The stability of the joint is provided by muscles, ligaments and balanced musculature. Problems such as injury or arthritis can lead to knee pain and impairment, so it is important to seek medical advice in such cases.   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9bcb7cb\" data-eae-slider=\"43535\" data-id=\"9bcb7cb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0c0b8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f0c0b8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Knie-Anatomie-1024x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6444\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Knie-Anatomie-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Knie-Anatomie-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Knie-Anatomie-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Knie-Anatomie-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Knie-Anatomie-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Knie-Anatomie-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d97f4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"8d97f4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1481\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1481\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What are the most common causes of knee pain?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1481\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1481\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">The most common causes of knee pain can be many and varied.

Acute knee pain occurs suddenly, often in response to an injury or a specific strain. This pain is usually short-lived and can be improved with rest, ice, compression and elevation measures (PECH rule). There is often a clear trigger, such as a fall, blow or sudden movement, and people with acute knee pain may have no or only a short history of knee problems.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">In contrast, chronic knee pain develops gradually over a longer period of time and can be recurrent. This type of pain lasts for an extended period of time and may not fully improve with rest and simple home remedies. Chronic knee pain can occur during everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs or sitting, even without an obvious trigger. People with chronic knee pain often have a history of knee injury, arthritis or other long-term knee problems. It is important to note that this distinction is not always clear, and it is recommended to see a doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. A specialist will be able to make an informed assessment through clinical examination, imaging and medical history and recommend an appropriate treatment strategy.     <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1483\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1483\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What role do muscle weaknesses play in knee problems?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1483\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1483\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"var(--purple-10)\">Muscle weakness plays a key role in knee problems.
