Flexion makes the joint angle smaller ... making it an extension-focused movement. If you’re ever unsure, keep this simple maxim in mind: flexion is forward and extension is backward.

Knee-joint proprioception has been assessed using either reproduction of position ... Methods and main outcome measures: JPS was evaluated by reproduction of the angles in weight-bearing position with ...

For further analysis, the SLDJ task was divided in two phases: touchdown until maximal knee flexion (MKF) and then MKF until take-off ... which can be interpreted as impaired ability to maintain ...
