Function
The kneecap is used to transmit the force from the thigh. The kneecap increases the distance to the centre of rotation, resulting in a saving of force. The cartilage layer reduces the sliding resistance of the patella tendon. Furthermore, the patella takes over a protective function for the thigh bone. When stretching, the kneecap performs a movement of 8-10 cm above the thigh bone.
