Range of Motion: 90/90 Active Knee Extension (AKE)
Aug 27, 2023Procedure:
- Have the client adopt a supine position lying down on a massage table or mat. Once established, have the client bring their hip up into 90 degrees of hip flexion.
- Align the Measurz inclinometer with up and down next to the client’s knee and in line with their hip. This will allow us to know whether we are in a neutral position.
- Instruct the client to extend their knee up, then measure the angle using the Measurz inclinometer alongside the client’s tibia.
- Press the pause/play, followed by the save button to save and view the results. NB: We should see a result of as close to 0 degrees of knee extension as possible.
We're aiming to see a result of as close to 0 degrees of knee extension as possible.
