- Does your knee bend backwards when you walk? Or you have banana knee or knee hyperextension? Then you need to watch this video.
Knee hyperextension or back kneeing is common when you have a stroke or a neurological disease where the muscles that extend the knee is stronger than the muscles that bend the knee. Or you have an injury to your knee which made the structure supporting the knee week and your body have adapted and got used to that form. We want to correct that in order to avoid further damage to the knee and Avoid pain not only to your knee but your hips or your back and even your ankles.
In this video, we will be doing exercises to strengthen your knee and re-educate the muscles to function properly to co-contract to prevent knee hyperextension. Watch till the end and practice today’s exercises with me.
The first exercise is to re-educate the muscles to contract, and to find the neutral position of the knee. So we are going to use a rolled up towel under a straight leg and we will remember three positions. The first position is a slightly bent knee, the second position is a neutral position in the third position is the hyperextended position. So we will do Two reps of a sequence of positions. The first sequence is one which is the slightly bent knee then go to two, which is the neutral and then go to three which is the hyper-extended. The second sequence is go to the first position, then hyperextended and then neutral. And the third is we will bypass the hyperextension, so it will be slightly bent knee, and then neutral.
Second exercise we will be using a Thera band. If you don’t have a Thera band, then stick to the exercise with the rolled up towel, but it is better if you can get you a Thera band or a stretchy band. It will be the same sequence is the first exercise. First sequence is 1,2,3, . Second sequence is 1,3,2 and the last sequence is 1 and 2.
And the last exercise is the halfway squat. Do this by the kitchen where are you can hold yourself and support yourself up using the kitchen sink. Bring your weak or affected hand to the sink and put your stronger hand on top of it and you will pull yourself up to a half squat and sit back down. Do that 10 times and to bring that to the next level you’re going to maintain a half squat and bear weight on the affected leg and move the good leg back-and-forth. If you have a belt, it is better if you place a belt around your lower thigh, or slightly above the knee to prevent the leg to swing sideways and to lead the stronger leg assist the affected leg during the exercise.
And as a bonus, you can also get adaptive equipment, such as an AFO or ankle foot orthosis, and a knee brace with support from the back, such as a Herculean spring. When you wear this adaptive equipment, it will prevent your knee to hyper extend and make your banana knee less obvious.

Hello Nathan, hope you are well. My daughter and I love working with you videos. My daughter had a bad fall and had eventually a fusion of T11 T12 L 1 2 3. Her T12 compressed completely. She went into muscle atrophy so we are still struggling to strengthen the glutes and the core. Her upper body is quite strong, it has been 2 years since her fall although her operation will be two years ago in May 2023. Please can you assist with which videos I should watch to strengthen her muscles. She still cant walk, ....your help is and will be so appreciated. Regards Riana and Elvera (my daughter 40 years old) By the way we are from Pretoria...South Africa

Probably with another name. Check the hardware sections. Might be with the knee protectors that flooring workers use
After my stroke the side of my hip hurts alot, are their any exercises I can do for this? I can walk with my foot brace and walker about 40 ft , then its too painful ,
Have the hip checked. Could be arthritis or a muscle inactivation issue. See a therapist who can perform a special test for certain conditions
Sir i need a video on how to fix Nock Knees
✋
question, will a leg press suffice at gym??
Start with light weights please
But if it is really hyperextended, the nervous system also meeds to be retrained to stop the knee from hyper extending

Thank you for the video!
If the patient walks and does his exercices with that knee brace on for a while, after you take them off.... will he be able to walk without that hiperextension?
The braces can fix it?
Thank you !❤
No. It wont train him. The brace is when the patient needs to walk and has not mastered not doing the hyper extension
@@SKILLSANDWELLNESS can this issue be always fixed ? I have a patient i am struggling with for some time already. He had bacterial spine infection, and multiple lumbar herniation, nervr compressions. he started to walk now with the walker(after 5 month of rehab)
But he is still pretty unstable, i am dealing with this excessive knee sudden hiperextension on both knees. I m trying to help him fix it.
Thank you

Hi sir , when the road is straight I can walk sir , when the road is ups and down the pits road i am not able to walk sir , how to strong back side foot ,
Sorry sir I am an indian I don't know English
Work on the calf and the front of your leg. Start with sitting ankle rocking and then stand up and do it with support or holding on a sturdy surface
Thanks, I’m 10 years post and still have this problem
Try this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Is it possible to happen by birth?
Yes. Like congenital? If that is the case, you need an md consult and a physical therapist for the first few sessions
