hey, by strengthening those muscles does it help bring over your patella from out of alignment back to normal to stop problems?

[rkumara]

this exercise is only one of many exercises recommended for patellar problems. by itself it probably isn't enough.

[rkumara]

this is a low-level exercise and will only progress someone a small amount. closed kinetic chain exercises are needed for significant progress.

Isnt this targeting the groin?

[rkumara]

Yes and no. The groin or adductor muscles work very closely with the inner quad (VMO) to move the knee. By turning the leg out while lifting, you are using the inner quad and groin, but not to target the groin, but to improve the inner quad activation. This is a low level exercise for those who have significant knee issues and not for general use.

hi,

does this ex help repair knee clicks (maybe slight mensci-tear) ?

what other good ex will u recommend for knee clicks when going down the stairs ?

(no pain - just clicks)

thx!

this stuff will only help you for a small amount of time. You need to build quad muscle using leg press, leg extensions, dead lifts, and squats.

you have problems with tracking of the patella during knee motion?That isnt a strength issue its a motor control 1 and needs a physical therapist guidance.

Anyone know if this strengthens the kneecap muscles? It's been popping lately but then goes away. I'm thinking I need to do this exercise...
