põlveliigesed
Põlveliigesed, also known as knee ligaments, are fibrous bands of connective tissue that connect bones at the knee joint. They play a crucial role in stabilizing the knee, controlling its movement, and absorbing shock during activities such as walking, running, and jumping. The primary knee ligaments include the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL).
The ACL and PCL are located in the middle of the knee, running from the thighbone (femur)
Injuries to the knee ligaments are common, often occurring during sports or other physical activities. Common
Proper warm-up and cool-down exercises, as well as strength training, can help prevent knee ligament injuries.
