Stabilisation of knee joint.

[Imnotdutch]

I've recently had a problem with my knee......nothing serious but its bugging me. Sometimes when I'm walking my knee joints don't feel particularly stable.....almost like there is lateral movement in the joint when I plant my foot down. So I figure there must be a way to stabilise the knee joint.....anybody got a clue on this one? This has only developed recently (last 2-3months).

It isn't a problem when I am lifting......only when walking. Also, for squats I can only use a wide stance due to the way my legs are put together ....so narrow stance squats are out (if that woulda worked).

I would say lunges or single leg squats would help with the stabilization since all the control is on the front leg.

how strong are your hams relative to your quads?

give your hams their workout before quads for a bit so you can focus on them. have a go at it for about 4 weeks. incorporate some stepups and side lunges for a bit and you should be back on track.
