Cyclist's Knee - Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
Most cyclists experience some knee pain over the cause in their riding career. A systematic review and various studies studies report the incidence of knee pain ranging from from 36% to 62%[1] [2]and it is the second most reported overuse injury for cyclists (after Cyclist's Back).
The knee ( see the link for comprehensive detail of the knee) sits between the upper and lower leg. . If any part of the lower kinematic chain ( core, lumbar spine, hip, knee, ankle) gets a problem it can pull on the knee joint changing the way the knee functions and cause knee pain. Due to the repetitive motion of the knee in cycling overuse injuries can occur when these incorrect tensions/torsions are applied to the knee.
