If it is severe enough, yes. Most knee injuries just require crutches. It is rare to have to use a wheelchair after having a knee injury. However, each injury is specific to each person, and everyone is different. So, it's possible, but not likely.

Compensation depends on a variety of factors: * Loss of earnings, including overtime and bonuses * Travel to and from medical appointments * Any medication * Cost of any special equipment or adaptations * Care given by members of your family or others * Damage caused to any of your personal effects But to claim compensation someone else has to be at fault to cause this personal injury.

Is pilates a good choice for someone recovering from a knee injury?
Pilates are not the best choice for someone recovering from a knee injury. Some of the exercises actually put considerable strain on your legs and joints, and it is hard for novice exercises to identify in advance which exercises are going to put strain on their knees. The best activity for recovering from a knee injury is swimming. You can still get a good workout and exercise your muscles, yet no additional strain is being put on your joints. Of course, ask your doctor for the most effective exercises while you heal.

Could anyone tell me what knee injury I have?
I'm 20 years old and pretty athletic, but i've never really had a big injury before. I was walking downhill when i slipped on a loose rock, but caught myself on my left leg and it hurt my knee. It's not an intense pain because I can walk without even feeling it, but when I bend it and then put weight on it (crouching then standing) is when it hurts. Again, not an immense pain but sort of an annoying pain, almost like I pulled a muscle in my knee.

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.....
