A large standard goniometer (Jamar, Clifton, NJ, USA) was used to measure passive knee extension ROM. Knee extension ROM was measured with the patients in supine position with the heel elevated on ...

The secondary goal of the study was to assess passive knee joint laxity and kinematics of cadaveric specimens to compare intra- and interobserver laxity and kinematic repeatability.

K. Donald Shelbourne, MD: I push for full passive knee extension, equal to the opposite knee, immediately after surgery. This is my goal regardless of the degree of hyperextension present in the ...

A new study suggests using electromyographic biofeedback as an adjunctive therapy for improving range of knee extension following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

However, it is not known if knee joint passive mechanical stiffness is related to the symptomatic stability of the medial OA knee.

But unpowered or passive bionic devices, which are beginning to creep out of the lab, offer a tantalizing alternative. Compact and comparatively inexpensive, these devices use clever engineering ...

Goniometric measurements of hamstring flexibility using a lying passive knee extension test were made before and after the stretching period to determine flexibility changes. Results: Paired t tests ...
