Kneeblocks
Position 3:
Support knees individually for a child who has
windswept hips, as shown opposite
Why? What are the benefits?
Knee cups help to maintain thigh and hip position. Never use knee cups to force the legs back as this can
injure the child’s hips. Knee cups should rest over the knee joint itself. If knee cups are too low or high they
can push the calf or thigh bone only and this will put a strain on the knee joint.

different configurations to satisfy a number of different needs.
