Normal Motion. Range of motion is typically measured using a tool called a goniometer. Normal ROM at the knee is considered to be 0 degrees of extension (completely straight knee joint) to 135 degrees of flexion (fully bent knee joint).ost functional activities require 0 to 117 degrees of motion at the knee. Walking requires complete knee extension at heel strike and up to 60 degrees of flexion at the initiation of swing phase.
Lachman test: flex the knee only 20-30 degrees (rather than 90 degrees in anterior drawer sign), then attempt to pull tibia anterior relative to the femur. If positive, a deficient ACL will demonstrate increase movement forward. This test is thought to be more sensitive than the anterior drawer sign. Attempt to hyperextend knee by placing one hand superior to the patella and the other posterior to the heel. More than 2-3cm (i.e. able to place one or two fingers beneath the heel when leg is extended and flat) is abnormal.
