Joint locking (medicine) symptom of: Locking of the knee happens during the last stages of extension when a person is standing up. Medial rotation of femur occurs as the space available at the lateral condyle of tibia is being used up by the lateral condyle of femur during extension.

This movement is aided by oblique pull of the ligaments of the knee joint and contraction of the quadriceps muscles. The ligaments are pulled taut when the knee joint is locked in place during standing. When the knee is
Tibia taking an axial force during walking that is up to 4.7 bodyweight. Its bending moment in the sagittal plane in the late stance phase is up to 71.6 bodyweight times millimetre.
