Knee Assessment Series Part 1: Knee Flexion

A deeper look into Assessment of Knee Flexion and Training to improve your knee joints

A part of a full Knee Assessment looks at Flexion and Extension of the knee joint as well as the rotation. Rotation is the fundamental movement of the joint and so we will often begin with looking at how well the joint doest this before moving to the linear qualities like Flexion and Extension.

Your Knee is Supposed to Rotate

In this video I’m with my colleague Nicole in Singapore and I have a look at the flexion of her knee joint in the field. This is an example of how I might assess someone out in the field when I don’t have a table in the clinic.

Understanding what the knee is supposed to do and how it is designed to move is an important element of your strength training work.
