YOGYAKARTA 'Boxy bone' or patella is a small triangular-shaped bone located at the front of the knee joints. The main function of the knee spine is to protect the knee and improve the function of knee movement better.
Anatomically, the knee shell is wrapped in a tendon, which connects the thigh muscles with the dry bone just below the knee joints. As a cessoid bone or bone located above the joints or muscles, the bone can protect the knee from injury.
The above has been mentioned that the main function of the knee shell aka Patella is to protect the knee and improve the function of knee movement better.
Summarized from various sources, Saturday, May 18, 2024, the following is another function of your knee backbone that you need to know about.
1. Help the joints of the knee bend and move
Another Patella function is to help the joints of the knee bend and move optimally. The meeting of these three bones plays a role in every movement of the body, especially those that require thigh movements.
2. Strengthen the knee joints
Just so you know, the knee peeling bone plays a role in compiling the knee joint along with two other bones, namely thighbones and dry bones. The meeting of these three bones makes the knee joints stronger and can support more than 75 percent of the body's weight.
3. Balance the movement of the knee joints
Next, the knee shell bone functions to balance the knee joints when moving.
Not only that, but the knee shell bone also increases the function of the movement range of the knee joints so that they become more optimal.
You need to understand, when the thighs and legs move, the knee shell maintains a balance, direction, pressure and range of tendons both in the thigh and around the knee.
4. Maintain the knee joints so as not to get injured
When a person falls face down or falls down, the body parts that are often the main focus are the hands and knees. Well, making the knee the foundation can cause trauma or injury in the joints. The injury can be minimized at the severity because there is protection from the bones of the knee.
5. Increase the strength of the thigh muscles
Knee shells can also support the strength of the thigh muscles by optimizing movement from the knee. Patella can increase the strength of the thigh muscles by 33-50 percent when used to withstand weights.
6. Connecting thigh muscles and dry bones
The knee shell bone is the only link between the front thigh muscle and the dry bone.
7. Maintain the tendons on the thighs
Previously, it had been mentioned that the knee shell bone played a role in connecting the front thigh muscles with dry bones. In addition, Patella also functions in maintaining the tendons and dry bones so as to reduce pressure and friction.
The pressure will be divided evenly in the dry bone area. Tendon itself is a tissue that attaches muscles to the bone and other organs so that the function of movement becomes more optimal.
