Knee school

A knee school should strengthen the thigh extensor muscles, the quadriceps muscles and stretch ligaments and tendons.
Exercises are presented in detail on the next few pages.

Idea of ​​the knee school

The Knee school the goal is a damaged knee joint (Knee osteoarthritis) to stabilize and thus make them symptom-free, but also to keep complaint-free knee joints in this state.

Here should Muscles trained, but also Tendons and Tapes be stretched.

We have divided our knee school into the following subject areas:

  • Knee school: exercises of the quadriceps
  • Knee school: exercises for the hamstrings in osteoarthritis
  • Knee school: muscle shortening / ligament shortening

Training modalities

Repetitions: 3-4 series of 10-15 repetitions with 10sec. Holding time, the break between the training series is 1-2 minutes, train every 2nd day

Exercise intensity: approx. 60% of the maximum strength

Subjective review: in repetitions 7-10, the load must be clearly felt, attention should be paid to tremors from fatigue.

Objective: The systematic training should increase the load and improve stability. The resilience of the cartilage can only be increased by increasing the load.
