Diagnosis and Management of Knee Pain
Knee pain is commonly caused through several mechanisms ranging from:
- Direct impact or stress to the knee, where the application of force is greater than the tissue can structurally withstand.
- Repetitive stress, or loading without sufficient time between load applications. Allowing insufficient time for the body to suitably recover between load applications.
- Degenerative conditions.
- And structural and biomechanical abnormalities.
