Abstract
This article describes physical therapy for patients with knee joint instability. Therapists have to adjust the motion axis of the joint in range of motion exercises. Also, it is important to train the "dynamic stabilizer" in muscle strengthening exercises. Therefore, therapists have to understand the knee structure and muscle function in order to improve knee joint stability.
