Flexion, and extension. As well as internal and external rotation of the tibia on the femur.\n<div class=\"embed-container\">\n\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G6eDhgTmNIA[\/embed]\n\n<\/div>\nFor Flexion the patient is lying in supine position. I am then going to ask him to bring the heel as far as possible to the buttock. To assess extension, the patient is lying supine with straight legs. You could ask the patient to contract the quads or to push the knee into the bench, which is going to extend the lower leg. The patient\u2019s heel should lift off of the bench.\n\nWhen conducting active flexion and extension, the examiner should observe the patella and whether it tracks smoothly along the femoral trochlea. During extension, the patella moves up and laterally and during flexion, it moves down and medially.\n\nFor internal and external rotation have the patient sit on the edge of the bench with the legs hanging freely. You may palpate above the ankle joint to distinguish between ankle inversion or eversion and actual rotation in the tibiofemoral joint.\n\nFor external rotation, the patient brings the foot outwards. For internal rotation, the patient brings the foot inwards.\n\nIf you want to learn how to conduct passive range of motion assessment in the knee, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotutors.com\/wiki\/knee-passive-range-of-motion\/\">here<\/a>.\n\n[cta]\n"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"content-content","section_options":{"vertical_alignment":"top","column_right_box":false,"column_left_width":"col-12 col-lg-4 offset"},"column_left":{"content_editor":"<h4>References<\/h4>"},"column_right":{"content_editor":"-"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"cta-image-v2","layout":"","background":"transparent","heading":"","content_editor":"<p class=\"subheading\">Like what you\u2019re learning?<\/p>\n<p class=\"heading-two\">BUY THE FULL PHYSIOTUTORS <strong>ASSESSMENT BOOK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>600+ Pages e-Book<\/li>\n \t<li>Interactive Content (Direct Video Demonstration, PubMed articles)<\/li>\n \t<li>Statistical Values for all Special Tests from the latest research<\/li>\n \t<li>Available in \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 \ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf9 \ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddf7<\/li>\n \t<li>And much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>","button_type":"internal_link","button_label":"Check out our shop","button_style":"button-two","button_internal_link":4464,"button_anchor":"","button_url":"","button_file":null,"side_button":{"side_button_content_editor":""},"bottom_button":{"bottom_button_content_editor":""},"image":22705,"image_alt_text":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"review-slider","heading":"WHAT CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT E-BOOK","image_shortcode":"","image":"","image_alt_text":"","shortcode":"[wprevpro_usetemplate tid=\"2\"]","button_type":"internal_link","button_label":"","button_style":"button-one","button_internal_link":"","button_anchor":"","button_url":"","button_file":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"cta-full-width-v2","logo":{"logo_image":22443,"logo_image_alt_text":""},"heading":"<strong>Download<\/strong> the free Physiotutors app now!","content_editor":"","download_image":{"download_image_image":22444,"download_image_image_alt_text":""},"mobile_download_image":{"mobile_download_image_image":22445,"mobile_download_image_image_alt_text":""},"download_image_link":"https:\/\/onelink.to\/6dtzk5","mockup_image":{"mockup_image_image":22447,"mockup_image_image_alt_text":""},"mobile_mockup_image":{"mobile_mockup_image_image":22446,"mobile_mockup_image_image_alt_text":""}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Knee Active Range of Motion | Basic AROM Assessment<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Knee Active Range of Motion assessment is part of a basic physiotherapeutic assessment.
