IMAGINE IF YOU DID NOT HAVE KNEES!

WHEN YOU WALK DOWNHILL, YOUR BODY’S NATURAL TENDENCY IS TO FALL FORWARD. UNCONSCIOUSLY, YOU BEND YOUR KNEES, CONTRACTING THE QUADRICEPS MUSCLES AS YOU DO. THE KNEES PREVENT YOU FROM FALLING.

NOW, IMAGINE IF YOUR QUADRICEPS MUSCLES ARE SO WEAK THAT THEY CANNOT STOP YOUR KNEES FROM BENDING ONCE THEY START! IF THE KNEES DID NOT STOP BENDING, YOU WOULD FALL FLAT ON YOUR FACE.
