Patellar Tracking Disorder

Thank you for the video. Great, helpful, easy and short. I have PTD for almost a 4 month causes by over load.

1. How long do you think will take to put it back in place
2. Will it get back perfectly to the same spot as it use to be or never
3. Is it worth working on releasing the IT band
4. Surgical way (in cease of successful result) would you consider as an option?

Thank you

Thank you very much ! It is an helpful knowledge as I'll soon begin running after a long inactivity period and I feared for my knees. Now I'm pretty confident that I'll deal with it easily. Thank you again :)

I seemed to have cleared mine up, I think(?). I tried using a flat metal bar to push at the outside of my petellar and push it towards the inside as much as I could and then I'd straighten and bend my leg to try and force it to get used to the motion of my leg. In addition to that I would lay down on my side, grab the foot the ailing patelllar is and bend it to give myself a quad stretch.

It's cleared about 90% of it up but it's done nothing for what sounds like a bag of crinkly things coming from my knee whenever I bend my leg. Does the sound of twisting celery coming from the knee whenever you walk on it indicate anything bad? I don't even know if there's a fix for that.

My patella is at the lateral outside knee 😭
Are these helpful for me?
Tibia is bowled & foot is pronated 😭

How can we be sure that we have patellar tracking disorder? Should we ask our doctor to have an x-ray our knees bent? I've seen many many doctors for this problem and none of them ask for an x-ray of my knees bent. Even if we have this problem our patellas would be in its groove when our legs are straight. Am I wrong?

I had knee surgery and I’m 6 weeks out starting PT.

When I straighten my leg after bending it, my kneecap feels like it shifts and it kind of hurts. Definitely not comfortable, do you think this is correctible with exercise? I didn’t move my leg for nearly 6 weeks.

In November I had my quad tendon reattached and I was doing so well in PT. Two weeks ago while testing strength we heard a crunch that immediately had me nervous. ROM is now less than it was. Saw my Ortho and have an MRI next week. My knee cap is moving way too freely and I'm concerned it's back to surgery for me. Any exercises for someone recently in surgery with PTD?

Love the 2008 intro

Ever since I dislocated my knee 2 yrs ago, it feels like it’s going to give way when going down the stairs, and walking uphill feels so unnatural. My MRI showed no issues with the ligaments and the muscles are quite strong too (can do heavy weights). When running I get pain in my inner knee too, I have no idea what the issue could be, on a waiting list to see an ortho but could be forever since I’m seen

Mri said “lateral patella dislocation” but it’s not necessarily dislocated completely, more drifting from side to side and not stabilized correctly. Do the same exercises apply? Very confused 😂

bot of my patella's lack mobility when pushing down, how can I fix this?

When i teist my foot all the way backwards my knees stay inplace looking forward

i got acl surgery twice most recently two years ago and i continue to suffer from this i did therapy for 7 months and have been doing leg strengthening lifts since and it seems to get worse throughout the years it feels as if it’s bruised and always catching and locking feels out of place how am i supposed to get my quad and hamstring back to normal if my knee keeps buckeling from overuse

What bout fluid and popping with this ???

What bout fluid and popping and tight muscles with this ???

I'm not sure if this applies to me. When I walk, it's like my lower leg is going to disconnect completely from the femur. The femur goes laterally and my leg looks very bowed. When I stand things look normal. It's when I walk that it looks really bizarre. I had an ACL replacement on this leg in 1995. Is that what PTD looks like? Thank you for your video.

My legs are in the X...had never problems as a professional volleball player with it but after i broke my tibia plateau doing surfing my patella started to track walking upstairs...creates lots of fear for me....with hard work i managed to get my ROM back and both muscles looks the some...now i need to get confidance with this little challenge to continue...any video on what to do if you have legs on X and could there be a connection with my patela? My phisio was very easy about it as my ortoped but i don't thing is normal....thank you!

I had pain in my knee from 2 years no specialist could diagnose it. Some said that it was torn acl or meniscus tear. Then i consulted a physiotherapist, he noticed that my knee cap of left knee moved laterally outward when bending. Due to that abnormal movement cartilage below my patella was damaged. He game me exercises to strengthen inner thigh muscles now its healing fast.
