Patella

Great post by @ileriperformance: "How your Patella works⚙️ The patella (kneecap) plays a crucial role in knee biomechanics by increasing the lever arm of the quadriceps tendon.🦵 This simple mechanical model demonstrates the effect: pulling the same force on the tendon produces significantly more torque at the knee joint when the patella is present. Understanding this principle helps explain why the patella is essential for efficient knee extension and overall lower limb function. 📹: @rehabandr
