What is the maximum possible flexion of the knee?

0-15 degrees
90 degrees
0-135 degrees
135-150 degrees

The correct answer is: 0-135 degrees

The maximum possible flexion of the knee typically ranges from 0 to 135 degrees. This means that in a fully extended position, the knee is at 0 degrees, and as it flexes, it can reach an optimal flexion of approximately 135 degrees. Understanding this range is important for assessing knee movement and functionality, especially in rehabilitation and therapeutic settings. In practice, a flexion of beyond 135 degrees can be observed in individuals with hypermobility, but for most normative assessments, the common expectation is a maximum of around 135 degrees. This knowledge is crucial for massage therapists when planning treatment and understanding limitations related to joint movement.
