Knees

Knock-knees/bow legs

Posted by kyBoot Shoes on

Knock-knees/bow legs are not merely a cosmetic problem in adults. The main consequence is increased strain on the knee joint.
Over the long term, all severe leg malpositions – knock-knees or bow legs – lead to premature wear of the joint cartilage, so that osteoarthritis of the knee joint/gonarthrosis can be expected to develop.

With the kyBoot/kyBounder, you can strengthen your stabilizing foot and knee musculature and integrate leg axis training into your everyday life without requiring any extra time.

Knee pain, meniscus damage, cruciate ligament rupture

In the kyBoot/on the kyBounder you can actively work against the pain; after only a few steps you will feel the positive effects in your knee joint.

Pain in the knee joint often arises suddenly and without warning. These shooting pains are often associated with feelings of blockage or instability. Swelling or overheating often accompany these symptoms.

A distinction must be made between acute and chronic knee pain. Chronic knee pain develops continuously and increases in intensity over months or years. This pain arises most often during or after exposing the joint to increased loads and they are also associated with swelling and overheating. Patients often describe preliminary pain, meaning that pain initially decreases after a few steps only to become more severe with increased loading.

Knee osteoarthritis can progress so far that therapy is not able to alleviate the symptoms (e.g. pain) and that a joint replacement is the only solution. Even though this operation is virtually routine today, it is still a major intervention. After a knee operation with the implantation of an artificial joint, careful knee rehabilitation is essential for the prosthesis to last as long as possible. Gait, coordination and strength training, and improving mobility are just some therapy focal points. Avoiding impact that could damage the new joint is of particular importance.

Knee osteoarthritis/gonarthrosis

Posted by kyBoot Shoes on

Osteoarthritis is a common disease in modern western society. On the one hand, pressure on the joints increases the more a person weighs and, on the other hand, strain is placed on the cartilage for much longer than just 50 years ago as life expectancy keeps increasing. Furthermore, civilised human beings spend most of their time walking on flat, hard everyday floors, and most shoe manufacturers follow the philosophy that a shoe has to support and guide the foot, and must have a small heel. But our knees are not built for this type of stress. It puts massive improper strain on them, causing them to wear much faster (knee osteoarthritis).
