What Do the Knees Do? How Do They
Work?
The knee is the joint where the bones of the
upper leg meet the bones of the lower leg, allowing
hinge-like movement while providing stability and
strength to support the weight of the body. Flexibility,
strength, and stability are needed for standing and for
motions like walking, running, crouching, jumping, and
turning.
Several kinds of supporting and moving parts,
including bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and
tendons, help the knees do their job. (See Joint Basics,
below.) Each of these structures is subject to disease
and injury. When a knee problem affects your ability to
do things, it can have a big impact on your life. Knee
problems can interfere with many things, from
participation in sports to simply getting up from a chair
and walking.
Joint Basics
The point at which two or more bones are
connected is called a joint. In all joints, the bones are
kept from grinding against each other by lining called
cartilage. Bones are joined to bones by strong, elastic
bands of tissue called ligaments. Muscles are connected
to bones by tough cords of tissue called tendons. Muscles
pull on tendons to move joints. While muscles are not
technically part of a joint, they're important because
strong muscles help support and protect
joints.
