In what way can knee hyperextension be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends if ...: Depends if your knee is symptomatic ( painful or feels loose!) if u have no symptoms than no treatment is necessary for a knee that "hyperextends"( recurvatum ).If u have feelings of knee looseness or posterior knee discomfort than a strengthening program for your legs( quads esp.) plus a brace to keep your leg from hyperextendimg would be my first choice. See an ors for eval. Gl!
