Interestingly, knee ROM and maximum knee flexion during walking changed significantly ... difference between group means for the knee joint ROM during swing phase was found. A considerable overlap ...

If the posterior distraction becomes difficult or significant discomfort develops around the knee, a short course of anterior joint distraction is done and then posterior distraction is reinitiated.

Flexion makes the joint angle smaller ... The exceptions to that rule are exercises that involve bending the knee (e.g., hamstring curl). For those, default to rule number one: if the exercise ...

Flexion – bending a joint. This occurs when the angle of a joint decreases. For example, the elbow flexes when performing a biceps curl. The knee flexes in preparation for kicking a ball.

Articulating bones are femur and tibia (the patella is not classed as part of the joint, nor is the fibula). Allows bending (flexion) and straightening (extension). Muscles which move the knee are ...

Meta-analysis revealed significant sagittal plane deficits in ACLR knees. We found greater knee flexion angles (standardised mean difference: 1.06; 95% CI 0.39 to 1.74) and joint moments (1.61; 0.87 ...

Joint kinematic and kinetic variables were statistically compared ... Barefoot running demonstrated less knee flexion during midstance, an 11% decrease in the peak internal knee extension and ...
