List
I have a question for the List. A twelve year boy who was born with small patella's, about the size of a quarter. He can run in a forward direction with no problem. When he has to stop suddenly and start running again, his knees buckle. Some times it's both knees but usually just the knee on the limb which he used to stop suddenly. Most time with just a step or two he is fine.
Any suggestions on bracing to keep his knees from buckeling?
