Excess knee flexion

Question 1

Excess knee flexion Tasks

Answer 1

WA, SLS, SLA

Question 2

Excess knee flexion phases

Answer 2

IC –> TSt, TSw

Question 3

Excess knee flexion Primary causes WA&SLS

Answer 3

Knee flexion contracture/hypomobility, IMC (abnormal knee flexion activity), Knee pain/joint effusion (WA&SLS)

Question 4

Excess knee flexion Secondary causes WA&SLS

Answer 4

Excess dorsiflexion posture, to excess hip flexion posture

Question 5

Excess knee flexion functional significance Compensatory WA&SLS

Answer 5

none

Question 6

Excess knee flexion functional significance WA&SLS

Answer 6

↑ Demand on plantarflexors/Quads/Hip Extensors,

↓ Limb Stability (WA & SLS)

Question 7

Excess knee flexion Primary cause SLA

Answer 7

Weak Quads, Knee Flexion contracture/hypomobilty,

IMC (abnormal Knee Flex activity),

knee pain/Jt Effusion (SLA)

Question 8

Excess knee flexion secondary cause SLA

Answer 8

None

Question 9

Excess knee flexion Compensatory SLA

Answer 9

to Access plantar flexion compromised by excess hip & knee flexion (SLA)

Question 10

Excess knee flexion Functional significance SLA

Answer 10

↓ Step Length of Ipsilateral Limb,

Interferes with heel contact (SLA)
