Ligament & Meniscus. Related topic Background Each knee has two menisci. They are commonly called âthe cartilageâ, although this is not strictly accurate. There is one on the medial (inner) side of the knee and one on the lateral (outer) side of the knee. They are C, or crescent shaped, and serve to cup the femur as it sits on the tibia to improve the congruity of the joint.

Abbreviations: EMST = expiratory muscle strength training, ERV = expiratory reserve volume, FEV 1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FVC = forced vital capacity, IMST = inspiratory muscle strength training, MEP = maximum expiratory pressure, MIP = maximum inspiratory pressure.hen and Kuo indicated that respiratory muscle strength and endurance decreases by approximately 20 percent in persons by the age of 70 years [22].
