Genu Recurvatum? Tape it!

Reference:null

Habitual standing with the knees in hyperextension may eventually lead to inner range quads insufficiency.

This insufficiency may be the primary cause of various knee conditions including osteo-arthritis, patello-femoral pain, patellar subluxations and recurrent knee sprains.

Taping can be a very effective way of preventing habitual knee hyperextension by giving a continuous feedback every time they attempt to hyperextend during gait or when just standing around.
