Improper skeletal alignment in Kiba-dachi (Horse Stance), a fundamental stance where the legs are wide and bent, significantly compromises knee joint stability primarily by creating uneven stress distribution. When the knees are not aligned directly over the feet, meaning they either cave inward (valgus) or bow outward (varus), the forces generated during the stance are no longer transmitted efficiently through the joint's designed load-bearing pathways. Specifically, knee valg....
