Bruising Behind Knee Without Injury, Walks Very Fast. Reason?

Hi Dr Grief
My brother walks very long distances and very fast. Every day. A few times over the past couple years he has had bruising behind the knee which comes from no apparent injury.
He is quite thin with next to no body fat and not much muscle thickness.
He stopped running up and down stairs because he hurt his knees about 18 months ago.
