knees

[brian j john]

my son has just asked me , if your knees bent the other way what shape would chairs be ??

[Immortal298]

how old is ur son?

They would be the same shape. Imagine kneeling on the seat facing the back with yir feet pointing toward the floor. The foot represents the lower part of the new leg, the the calf represents the thigh in the new leg and the thigh represents the waist upwards on the new leg. Does that make sense? So you would be in reverse but on the same chair. 

[brian j john]

so would your chest be against the back rest

[brian j john]

by the way he's 25 but he keeps comng up with daft questions

[saintee]

Its possible I just cant get my head round the explanation aboe but surely that wouldnt work.  You can only bend the that angle forwards at the hips. Or if you are able to then you are rather talented. 

Apologies if im being a bit thick here though!

Brian  -  ask your son how he would climb a ladder . . .

saintee, I was trying to use the different parts of the lower body to compare it to the way a leg would bend in the opposite direction but it's not important now.....
