Medical conditions

There are some deviations from what is considered the normal posture of the knee. These alterations are relevant because misalignment of one or both knees and the lower limb leads to changes in the distribution of pressure over the joint, also influencing the overall posture of the spine and the rest of the body. The most common alterations are genu varum, genu valgum, and genu recurvatum. These alterations should be assessed within the global postural context and with an understanding of their implications. Treatment through Global Postural Reeducation may be useful.
