KNEE LOCKING PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT IN ZAKIR NAGAR-PHYSIONAUTICS Knee locking is a common issue that can cause significant discomfort and mobility challenges. It refers to the sensation of the knee being stuck, making it difficult to bend or straighten the leg. This condition can arise from various underlying causes, including mechanical problems within the knee joint or muscle spasms surrounding the knee.Causes - One of the primary causes of true knee locking is a meniscus tear. The meniscus is a cartilage structure that acts as a cushion between the thigh bone and shin bone. When torn, fragments can obstruct normal movement, leading to a locked sensation. Another cause could be bone spurs, which are bony projections that develop along joint margins due to arthritis, reducing space for movement.Pseudo-knee locking occurs when muscle tension or spasms impede motion without any structural damage to the joint itself. Conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can also contribute to this phenomenon by causing inflammation and pain in the knee joint.Treatment involves a combination of physical therapy and at-home exercises aimed at restoring flexibility and strength. Gentle stretching exercises can help alleviate tension in surrounding muscles, while strengthening exercises support overall knee stability. Ice or heat therapy may also provide relief from swelling or stiffness.By understanding the causes and implementing appropriate treatment strategies, individuals experiencing knee locking can regain mobility and improve their quality of life.
