Torn meniscus: With any meniscal tear ,avoiding activities which increase pressure on the knee ( and can possibly increase the amount of meniscal tearing) such as kneeling,squatting,crawling,crouching, pivoting,running ,jumping. Is helpful. Walking on the flat or with a small incline is typically okay..
