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.
The range of motion (ROM) of a knee is that range (in degrees) from full extension to full flexion. Take a look at the full flexion and extension of these three healthy university students. You can easily see the amount of variation between them.Note that the middle one is a woman, the outer two are men. flexed knee is at about 140 degrees. It is a common misconception that 0-140 degrees is a normal range of motion, but most people have some hyperextension, too, taking their ROM into negative numbers. 1  normal ROM is usually minus 5 to 143 degrees in women.
