How can a car accident affect your hip or knee?
The forces involved in a motor vehicle collision can affect the muscles, joints and surrounding tissues of the lower body. Symptoms may be noticeable immediately or become more apparent as you return to normal movement and activity.
Hip Pain
You may notice aching, soreness or discomfort around the hip, outer hip, buttock or surrounding muscles.
Knee Pain
Knee symptoms may affect walking, stairs, squatting, standing or other weight-bearing activities.
Reduced Mobility
Hip or knee movement may feel stiff or restricted after sitting, sleeping or periods of reduced activity.
Walking Difficulty
You may shorten your walking distance, move more slowly or change the way you walk because of discomfort.
Balance Changes
Lower-body discomfort or weakness may reduce confidence with standing, walking or uneven surfaces.
Reduced Activity
Exercise, work, recreation and everyday tasks may become more challenging after an accident.
Hip and knee pain can change how you move through your day.
Walking
Walking around the house, shopping or covering longer distances may become uncomfortable.
Stairs
Going up or down stairs may become more difficult when strength, balance or movement has changed.
Sitting & Standing
Standing up after sitting or remaining in one position for longer periods may increase stiffness or discomfort.
Driving
Getting into and out of the vehicle or maintaining a seated position may become harder during recovery.
Work
Jobs that involve walking, standing, lifting, squatting or prolonged sitting may become more challenging.
Exercise
Running, gym training, hiking, sports and recreational activities may need to be reintroduced progressively.

Your goals should shape your rehabilitation.
A useful rehabilitation plan prepares you for the things you actually need and want to do—not just exercises in the clinic.
Your goal may be walking farther, returning to work, climbing stairs confidently, getting back to the gym or simply moving more comfortably through everyday life.
Your program may work toward:
- ✓Walking comfortably
- ✓Returning to work
- ✓Climbing stairs
- ✓Getting in and out of a vehicle
- ✓Returning to the gym or sport
- ✓Moving with greater confidence
Hip and knee pain can influence more than one joint.
When one area is uncomfortable, the way you walk, balance, stand or use stairs may also change. Rehabilitation can consider the lower body as a whole rather than focusing only on the location of pain.
Assessment may consider:
- ✓Hip mobility
- ✓Knee mobility
- ✓Lower-body strength
- ✓Walking pattern
- ✓Balance and single-leg control
- ✓Squatting and stair function
