Zglob koljena je vrlo kompleksan zglob sa puno mišića i ligamenata te tetiva, a samim time i zglob u kojem su moguće razne ozljede. Sportaši su više skloniji ozljedama koljena ukoliko se radi o dinamičnijim sportovima gdje ima puno udaraca poput nogometa ili rukometa no ozljede se mogu dogoditi i kod osoba koje ne sudjeluju u sportu, djece i starijih. U sportu ima više kretnji, više udaraca i velik je pritisak na zglobove kao što su koljeno ili gležanj. Snažna muskulatura mora biti prisutna kod svake osobe kako bi se mogla normalno kretati i raditi. Osim mišića natkoljenice koji imaju velik utjecaj na koljeno m. popliteus je također bitan mišić pri kretanju i održavanju stabilnosti. Važan je pri ciklusu hoda, poznat je i pod nazivom ključ za koljeno i njegovo ozljeđivanje ima itekako utjecaj na samo kretanje i obavljanje aktivnosti kod svih osoba, a posebno sportaša te zahtijeva rehabilitaciju. Ozljede ovog mišića nisu česte i oporavak je uglavnom kratak u odnosu na ozljede drugih mišića. Ovisno o stanju koje se može dogoditi, tendinopatija m. popliteusa naprezanje mišića ili prisustvo pojedinih izraslina, potrebna je primjena fizikalne terapije. Od fizikalnih procedura ovisno o vrsti ozljede primjenjuje se krioterapija, elektroterapija i kineziterapija koja ima veliku ulogu i fokus mora upravo biti na njoj. Konzervativno liječenje uglavnom ima pozitivne rezultate u smislu smanjenja simptoma i olakšanja pri kretanju a moguće je i operativno liječenje kod težih oblika ukoliko nema pozitivnih rezultata kod konzervativnog načina liječenja. The knee joint is a very complex joint with many muscles and ligaments and tendons, and therefore a joint in which various injuries are possibe. Athletes are more prone to knee injuries if they are involved in more dynamic sports where thre are a lo of kick such as footbal or handball, but injuries can also occur in people who do not participate in spots, children and the elderly. In sports there are more movements, more blows and there is a lot of pressure on joints such as the knee or ankle. Strong musculature must be present in every person in order to be able to move and work normally. In addition to the muscles of the upper leg, which have a great influence on the knee, the popliteus muscle for movement and maintaining stability. It is important durin gait cycle, it is also known as the knee wrench and its injury has a great impact on the movement and performance of activities for all people, especially athletes and requires rehabilitation. Injuries of this mucle are not comon and recovery is ussually short compared to injuries of other muscles. Depending on the condition that may occur, tendinopathy of the popliteus muscle, muscle strain or the presence of certain growths, the appliacition of physical therapy is necessary. Of the physical procedures, depending on the type of injury, cryotheapy, electrotherapy and kinesitherapy are applied, which play a major role and the focus must be on it. Conservative treathment mostly has positive results in terms of symptom reduction and ease of movement, and operative treatment is also possible in more severe forms if there are no positive results with conservative treatment.
