Knee Injury Clinic
An acute knee injury usually is caused by trauma or twisting action. The pain may vary from mild to severe depending on the mechanism of injury. Did you know women are at a higher risk of developing knee injuries as compared to men? Probable reasons are:
- Female hormone estrogen weakens the knee ligament
- Greater activation of the quadriceps when performing a jump stop
- Landing from a jump with knees close together
early assessment and intervention
If you experience knee pain while playing or any physical activity, you should stop what you are doing and get your knee evaluated. Early assessment and intervention will help avoid long-term dysfunction of your knee and facilitate quick return to your active lifestyle.
