what would a chair look like if our knee's bent the other way?

tja... depends on which direction your hips bend - the knees are only one half of the equation! ;)\n\nAssuming your hips bend backwards, your butt would be in front of you, and this means a chair would look exactly the same way, becuase your knees would bend backwards. But the back of the chair would now be in front of you.

Do you mean walk like you are crippled???\nI guess you would walk like I do in real life...\nI walk with a limp, but I did have back surgery and am disabled for life, so it is no joke...\nWait till you have a disability one day and wish you were well again...

be careful and take care of your knees.  also make sure your muscles in the thigh are equally developed, i didn't do this and now the knee cap moves up and out over the end of the femoral head rather than in that groove where it's supposed to be causing bone degeneration and a lot of pain.  see your doctor and find out how to take care of yourself.  if you let knee problems continue you will be limited later in life with the activities that you can do.

Actually, I doubt we'd sit at all.  I'm looking at my parrot, and she has knees that bend backwards.  She just bends her knees on her perch, and when she sleeps she lifts one leg up and tucks it under herself.  I think we'd have a modified perch instead of a chair, and "sit" by getting into a reverse crouching position, just like a bird.

Deep Knee bends and lots of walking.\nThe deep knee bends will maintain your muscles while the walking will trim down the thighs

I think you could get a better answer from your orthopedic doctor or other ortho doctors, It would of course limit the functionality of the knee but you should not get disabled, good luck

less than that if the knee is in a locked stationary position.

sit ups with legs bent at knees left elbow to right knee and right to left.\nAlso roll legs over to left and try to do sit up and then reverse it.\nDON'T DO ANY OF THESE UNTIL YOU CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED TRAINER FIRST I'm not one

I have scoliosis, so my spine is curved in a backwards "S" shape. I wish so much that it were perfectly straight. It would make me about 3 inches taller and have less back problems.\n\nLuckily mine isn't so bad that you can see it when I'm wearing my clothes, but it's pretty obvious when I'm not. I wish I could say something superficial here like having bigger breasts, but if I only have one wish, it would be the straighter back!!

most likely a stool of some sort so you could rest your pelvis on it. or we would not need chairs because we could basically kneel a lot easier.

I had Arthoscopy surgery back in Nov. I had a chipped bone and also had arthritis clean up. My knee still bothers me at times, are you in an immobilizer or anything to keep your leg straight? Or on crutches? Its going to take time for it to heal, knees have a long healing process.

Mistress is right.\n\nwhen we look at quadrupeds, what we see is very confusing, because the length ratios between the different parts of the bones are much different from ours.  for instance, if you look at a dog's hind leg, it would appear that it's knee bends backwards, but what you are really looking at is it's ankle: dog's femurs are much shorter than ours, so they almost "hide" in their fur.\n\nThe same is true with the front legs of other quadrupeds.  Look at this picture of a deer: http://www.exzooberance.com/virtual%20zoo/they%20walk/deer/White-Tailed%20Deer%20104024.jpg\n\nAt first, one would think that the deer is sticking it's front leg knee out the furthest, but if you look at it's bone structure, you will find that what appears to be his knee is much more like a wrist (with the hoof being the "fingers" and the bend closest to the deers body being the "elbow")\n\nElephant front legs (http://www.elephant-village-pattaya.com/images/Elephant.jpg) \nin comparison to deer front legs, look remarkably like a human's (as side from the giant foot and grey wrinkly skin and ... well you know.).  Elephants (and rhino's too I believe) are the only quadrupeds that truly have 4 "knees" when comparing their anatomy to a Human's anatomy.

Could be bad posture.
