| Range of motion is measured with a device called a goniometer. Range of motion exercises focus on improving acive and passive flexion and extension. | Strengthening exercises such as full arc extensions can be started as soon as the knee is 'calm' after injury or surgery. | Once the regime of knee exercises is well established, patients can work on their hips and lower back. |
