Active assisted flexion is a seated exercise, where active flexion of the knee is helped further by pressure from the good leg.

| Starting position with feet free to swing and the bad leg as relaxed as possible, probably a lot less flexed than in this example. | Use the good leg to slowly push the bad leg into further flexion. | Hold the position for a few seconds before relaxing, and repeat. |
The assisting limb should apply a slow long stretch, gently taking the limb into deeper flexion even though it may be uncomfortable, holding it there for 20 seconds or so and then slowly releasing the pressure.
