What can you see in the clip?

Shortened calf and hamstrings limit dorsiflexion and flexion at the knee. The gait becomes "stiff" and the impact of the step is absorbed by the knee joint → more compression and shearing of the meniscus. The clip places this within “Meniscus (inner and outer)” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
