Purpose
[edit | edit source]
The purpose of the Passive knee extension test is to measure tightness of the hamstring muscles [1]
Technique
[edit | edit source]
The patient is positioned supine with the hip of the tested leg in 90 of flexion.The contralateral leg stays flat on the examination table. the clinician extends the knee until reaching the maximal tolerable stretch of the hamstring muscle as indicated by the patient , with the ipsilateral hip remaining in 90 of flexion. The knee angle is then measured. [2]
Goniometer Placing
The Axis of the goniometer should be places at the lateral epicondyle of the femur. The moving arm should point towards the lateral malleolus and the stationary should point towards the greater trochanter.Reese NB, Bandy WD. Joint range of motion and muscle length testing.
