Abstract
This article presents of the biomechanics of the knee joint in terms suitable for application in diagnostics and kinesitherapy. For practical reasons the thematic range of the discussion is limited; a separate monograph would be required to deal with the subject fully, especially the biomechanical conditions underlying pathologies of this joint. The basic aspects of the biomechanics of the knee joint presented in this article include its motion and mobility, the role of muscle force momentum, and the value of the force of reaction in the context of the construction and function of the joint. The scope of the subject matter presented here covers the issues that in the authors’ opinion are most essential for the physiotherapist in terms of the biomechanics of the knee joint.
