Good morning Allegrotrans,

I am sorry, but I disagree with your decision. Your chosen answer is the translation for ‘’la stabilité des genoux’’. As your ref mentions it, there is a static and a dynamic component to the stability of knee. La statique du genou refers to that static component, in FR: ‘’la stabilité statique du genou’’, like in this ref:

Plusieurs autres tissus sont tout aussi importants pour la stabilité statique et dynamique du genou, dont les autres ligaments, les tendons et les muscles….

Thanks Colin Yes, I was looking at rigidity, stability etc. but maybe there is a more "state of the art" expression.
Colin Morley (X) Oct 5, 2013:
Rigidity? I'm guessing that if the thigh muscles aren't strong enough, then when riding in motocross the knees could tend to buckle - which wouldn't be a good thing when traversing rough terrain. Not confident enough to submit as an answer, but seems logical as a former (fair weather) motorcyclist.

knee stability

I might suggest 'knee stability'.
Example sentence:

The stability of the knee joint is dependent upon static and dynamic factors. The static stabiliser includes passive structures such as the knee joint capsule and the various ligaments and other associated structures such as the menisci (...)

Physiologie du genou

STATIQUE DU GENOU :

La statique du genou s'apprécie cliniquement par un examen minutieux et par l'imagerie notamment radiologique. Chez le patient debout de face, les faces internes des genoux et les deux malléoles internes doivent se toucher se qui définit la normo axation. De profil, l'axe de la cuisse doit être le même que celui du tibia. La hauteur respective des deux jambes peut être mesurée au niveau du creux poplité zone située à l'arrière du genou.

stabilising the knee

"...pour leur rôle majeur dans la stabilité des genoux"

"...for the significant role they play in stabilising the knee"

I'd definitely go with 'stability' rather than 'rigidity'; with a history of knee problems I've been told several times to improve the strength of my quadriceps to improve the stability of my knee!
