Background Proprioception (joint position sense (JPS), kinaesthesia, force sense (FS)) is of interest in knee injury prevention. Recent work reports existing knee proprioception tests are inadequate ...

What is the relationship between knee extensor strength and ROM -- and how do they affect physical function in patients with TKA?

Isokinetic dynamometry, which is a useful tool for the assessment of muscular function, must have sufficient reliability to be certain that changes are due to experimental intervention. Isokinetic ...

Knee Extension If you 'fail' the above 'knee extension test', you'll need to visit a physio to loosen off both knees so that you can then perform these exercises everyday to retain full knee mobility.

Leg extension alternative exercises work more muscles than just a simple leg extension, and are less likely to cause an injury.

Knee extension is a main mover in several exercises like squats and running. A physical therapist shares 4 exercises that will strengthen knee extension.

Gaining and maintaining full left knee extension will be crucial to prevent scar tissue forming within the knee joint (called a “cyclops lesion”), which would require surgery to remove.

Our results suggest that changes (pre to post TKA) in knee extensor strength mediated the association between changes in knee extension ROM and self-report physical function.
