A member asked:

What kind of knee strengthening is required for knee buckling?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Buckling is often related to instability from tears and exercises will not help until the damage is repaired. If the buckling is due to muscle weakness it depends on what is causing the weakness.
