The most important thing to consider when trying to treat a twisted knee is to decide the extent of the damage. A twisted knee is also known as a sprained or strained knee. The knee is a major joint that attaches the thigh bone to the shin bone through a series of tendons andligaments. Twisted knees are fairly common and can occur at any age or level of physical activity.

To determine the extent of the damage, there are three simple tests that can be done. First, feel the knee itself with your hands. The kneeshould feel cool to the touch, but slightly tender. Sitting down, move your leg up and down, and then move it from left to right. If the leg is able to move through the entire range of motion but is slightly sore, it is probably a twisted knee.
