How do you unlock knee?
My knee sometimes locks and I can not make my leg straight. I usually can wiggle it or bend my knee up to my chest and put my hands under my knee and pull up. One time it was so severe I could not straighten. I was instructed to put your two thumbs together and push at the bottom of your knee cap as hard as you can. Push directly in the middle of your knee cap and you will feel and hear it pop. What a relief.....

one foot in front of the other watch 'step up' the movie! i never really thought about this.. but 1: shift weight onto one foot 2: bring knee up on you other foot, letting below your knee hang loose 3: straighten from your knee to your ankle and shift your weight forward. 4: shift weight onto the foot you just put down and repeat with other foot...

The muscles used to straighten the leg are commonly known as the Quadriceps, a group of four muscles on the front of the thigh. This, however, is only the cast when the knee is isolated. If you were to stand up from a squatted position, you would also be using your gluteal muscles as well as your hamstrings to extend the thigh and stabilize the knee, while your quads and inner thigh muscles (the adductor) help to straighten the the knee. You would also be using your calf muscles to straighten the ankle.
