I don't know what to check for when dealing with luxating patella. I don't really even know what it is? Can you give me some clues?

Thanks!
I should have worded that differently.
Could you have your VET check for luxating patella?
It makes it hard (painful) to jump because the kneecap slides out of place.
It is very common in Yorkies and that is probably not the problem here but any jumping problems and that is my first thought...

Maybe her stomach still feels funny to her when she stretches to jump?
