At 64 years of age, I’ve always been athletic. I just recently in the last three months experienced my right knee that is buckled twice now on me. Still waiting to see the doctor. I will take your advisement and start doing those exercises today. PS I am back to walking some what normal with little or no pain but very cautious of how I’m walking. thank you again for the very informative video.

[@restorepluspt]

You're welcome @jameslee5428. Good to hear that you are feeling better. I wish you the best.🙏

New subscriber here. My knees giving out at the grocery store while standing was horrifying to say the least. They felt so weak but I fought the gravity and was able to force my legs into standing position!! I made it out of the store and have not gone shopping since. I'm happy to have found your video and will do these exercises!! Thank you for the video!! God bless ❣️

[@restorepluspt]

You're welcome @jimbear8888! I hear the same story a lot from patients. These exercises will help. Consistency is key.🙏 Stay safe.

I noticed I couldn't go upstairs right foot first, there was 'nothing there' in the muscle. This helps.

[@restorepluspt]

I'm happy this helps @louiselimb6164. Strengthening your quads will be very helpful in going up stairs.

[@ohgeeesyy]

my knee has been buckling for the last few days and it only happens a few times per day but when it does i feel a sharp pain in my knee. i havent had any injury or anything. should i be worried?

[@restorepluspt]

Good question @ohgeeesyy. Without trauma, usually the buckling is because of weakness on muscles stabilizing the knee. I suggest monitoring it. If it gets more frequent, I suggest seeing a specialist to find out what is causing the buckling. Work on strengthening your knee muscles in the meantime and see how if that helps.

[@Enjoywatchingyoutube8227]

Does riding a bike help? I play a lot of tennis and in the last year my knee gave out twice on me. I wear a knee brace but want to strengthen it

[@restorepluspt]

Good question @Enjoywatchingyoutube8227. Riding a bike is not very effective when it comes to preventing knee buckling. I suggest focusing on strengthening your quads, VMO and your glutes. I hope this helps.🙏

[@abhijaiyt6220]

My knee buckles with extreme pain. I had a twist injury while playing football a month ago . The buckling happens only when i am playing sports and if someone hit me from the side. otherwise its normal . Also i couldnt completely bend my knees . Can you please tell what it could be ?😢

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @abhijaiyt6220. Based on what you mentioned, it can be an ACL injury, meniscus or collateral ligament injury or a combination of those (which commonly happens). I suggest seeing a specialist to rule out which one it is through clinical tests and radiographic studies. I hope you feel better soon.🙏

[@michaeldodd3563]

Complete ACL rupture, and partial MCL tear. Used the wedge to do leg raises. Did 4 sets of 5. Tried to do another set and knee buckled. Very painful! Can’t walk. Can’t stand. Any other exercise suggestions?

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @michaeldodd3563. With ACL tears, make sure to avoid your knee buckling. That places a lot of stress in the ACL as you have experienced with the pain. If your quads is too weak to do straight leg raise lying down, I suggest modifying it to the standing position so it is easier. I hope this helps.🙏

[@alleynanci]

Darn! Any better yet?

[@michaeldodd3563]

@@alleynanci much better. Had surgery on 3/11/24. The first few weeks were rough but I made it. Back in the gym as of 4/20. PT twice a week still. Almost full flexion and extension. I feel pretty good.

[@azizakhan7066]

Hello Sir! I am 63 years old. 3 months before I fall down on my left leg and got patella fracture. I didn't do any surgery. Now I have stifness in my knee. While walking I am limping. plzz can you suggest me exercises for improving my walking and knee stifness. Thanks

[@restorepluspt]

Sorry to hear this @azizakhan7066. Couple of things I would recommend: 1. Stretch your knee to regain the lost range especially the extension. If your knee does not fully extend, you will not be able to get rid of the limp. 2. Watch my video Stop Limping. follow the exercises there to help with the balance and stability. Hope they help.🙏

[@azizakhan7066]

Thanks a lot. I can strech my leg fully without any pain. I will do exercise as you shown in your video.

[@azizakhan7066]

[@priyanshusyunary4590]

While jumping my knee give up inward i had a knee injury mri shows acl strain now rehab program when i try to do sprint or unconsiously jump my knee goes inward is it strengthning problem or i need ACL surgery

[@restorepluspt]

Good question @priyanshusyunary4590. I recommend strengthening your thigh muscles more especially your quads and see if that will prevent your knee from buckling. It is hard to tell if you will need surgery or not without seeing how strong your leg is. Some people don't need surgery and can go back to some level of activity. Straight running can be achieved more easily. Cutting movements are trickier. I wish you the best. 🙏

[@priyanshusyunary4590]

Yes i have enough strength i am able to do straight running just cuttinh movements in soccer and one leg jumps and twisting movements are laggin behind i m working on strengthning of knees and quads leg is weaker as compare to other one

[@wendywyatt3264]

Thanks for sharing. Do you have any suggestions for Knocked Knees.

[@restorepluspt]

@wendywyatt3264 good question. Will add that to my list for future videos. Thank you.

[@JoMarmulla]

Thank you for this. At 13 I had a full patella dislocation. Ever since i often feel the same sensation (about once a year) in the same knee so kept thinking it’s a dislocation where the patellar moved back in but now starting to think it’s been buckling ever since (for 15 years now) about once or twice a year. Lately noticed it happened in places where I didn’t do a rotation, so couldn’t have been a dislocation. This makes me think it’s not as bad as I always thought and just buckles. What do you think?

[@restorepluspt]

Hey @user-eb7gj6tw6v. It is tough to say without actually seeing your knee and the movement. You can tell if the patella dislocated because it will not be in its usual place. Usually it's going to sit higher than your normal. If it is in the same place, then it is not a dislocation. If your knee gives out or bends, then that is buckling of the knee. I hope this helps.

[@JoMarmulla]

@@restorepluspt thank you it does. Is it possible for it to feel the same when it buckles and when it dislocates? Because that feeling is the same for me compared to the dislocation I had 15 years ago. It always feels the same just less painful and less swelling

[@restorepluspt]

@@JoMarmulla When your patella dislocates, your knee can buckle. And after it dislocates repeatedly, the pain and swelling gets less. If it happens repeatedly, I suggest getting it checked to see what can be done to prevent that.

[@Oidekhbonnaoigese]

20 and was super confused about the sudden buckling that occurs. Gonna try some workouts as you recommended. Is 1 month ok as a trail if im not feeling too bad ?

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @Oidekhbonnaoigese. Yes, try it for a month. You can continue and progress the exercises if you see improvements. 1 month should be enough to see some improvement. I wish you the best.🙏

[@Zawar_Gulfam_Ali]

My knee buckles When i rotate it …which exercises should i do?

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @Zawar_Gulfam_Ali. I would need more info to be able to give specific answers. But generally, I recommend strengthening your quads, hamstrings and hip muscles to stabilize your knee. I wish you the best. 🙏

[@mosebochabane2607]

You are talking my problem.Thanks a lot.😂😅

[@mosebochabane2607]

I had a right knee replacement 2 years ago; followed by Quadrceps repair because of buckling.I still buckle n fall unexpectedly.I really live in fear of falling anytime.What can I do?! Knee doesn't fully extend.

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @mosebochabane2607. I suggest focusing on strengthening your quads so that it will have the strength to full straighten your knee (unless you have a contracture) and prevent it from buckling. I hope this helps.🙏

[@samkitty5894]

Suddenly and without warning I lost a knee jerk reflex on my left leg. I also lost ability to push up on this leg from a squat. If laying flat on my back, I can not lift my leg off the floor, not even a fraction of an inch. How could my quad muscles weaken so drastically over night?

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to see this @samkitty5894. The muscle can weaken that quickly if there is a nerve involvement. Atrophy and deconditioning do not cause weakness that quick. I recommend seeing a doctor or a specialist soon. Losing your reflex can be a sign of a more serious issue. Hope this points you in the right direction.🙏

[@samkitty5894]

I've seen all kinds of doctors and specialists. No diagnosis yet. Nerve conductivity study showed nerve damage. @@restorepluspt

[@beautifulgamef]

Hi i have lcl strain with no grade mentioned but mild buckle and lateral meniscus anterior horn grade 2 i experience light buckle in outer knee what should i do i have done prp for meniscus but still i get buckle in outer knee

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @beautifulgamef. I suggest giving these exercises a try for a few weeks and see your buckling decreases as your leg gets stronger. I wish you the best.🙏

[@jde9711]

But what if your quads are already strong with bodybuilding. This is already built is it not to do this and I use 15kg on leg plates extension

[@restorepluspt]

Good question @jde9711. Sometimes even with strong quads, if the VMO part is not very strong, the knee will not be stable. Also, if the quads is not strong at the endrange of extension, it may still give out as well. Aside from the quads, you can look at the gluts if they are strong also.

[@TshepisoMosasi]

Hello am very concerned about my 7years old son who his knee has been buckling for 3months now without any pain ,can i also do the same exercises, doctor

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @user-jo8on3vz7y. Yes you can try these exercises with him. At 7 y/o he should be able to follow the instructions for the exercises. If it does not improve in 4 weeks, you have to seek medical help to determine the cause of the buckling. Wish you and your son the best.🙏

[@jjcrazi]

So it should take about four weeks to have noticeable difference in strength to help stop buckling?

[@dfjihjie8407]

When I squat the left side of my left knee gives away but there after I can walk properly but I cant sit my on knee fully

[@restorepluspt]

I'm sorry to hear this @dfjihjie8407! Based on what you said, it seems like the muscles around your left knee is weak and cannot hold your weight in that position. I suggest strengthening your quads especially in that depth of your squat and your gluts. Also check your mechanics. I have other videos in my channel showing how to squat properly. Hope this helps.🙏

[@morganh5611]

When I squat , my right knee turns inward.

[@restorepluspt]

A little of the knee turning inward during squatting is acceptable @morganh5611. Usually it should be even on both sides. If not or if it is a lot, strengthen your hip abductors (gluts medius). I have some videos showing how to do that. Sidelying straight leg raise and clam shell exercises are good examples. I hope this helps.

[@CTpainter]

Can you do these exercises every day or should you take a day off in between?

[@restorepluspt]

Good question @CTpainter. I recommend doing them everyday. You can a day off in the week if you need to. You don't have to.
