“Head, shoulders, knees and toes” is a children’s song first recognized in 1912 that is used globally to teach children the various body parts. Different versions of the nursery rhyme have been sung with the lyrics matched up to London Bridge is Falling Down and Frère Jacques. 

As we age, many of our body parts can develop arthritis with our knees often being very susceptible to the condition. About 20% of the United States population over the age of 45 years has been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. The condition is more likely to start in the 5th and 6th decades of life.
