10 Sprained Knee Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Buckling
If you have a sprain that’s mild enough that you can still hold weight, you still might not be able to function as well as you did otherwise. You may experience a buckling feeling if you try to move or put too much weight on your knees.
When an injury to the leg occurs, often times the quadriceps muscles are inhibited by the nervous system. Buckling of the knee occurs if the quadriceps muscles are not functioning correctly. This is a subconscious safety measure to avoid further injury to the knee.
