What is a good range of motion after knee replacement?
What is normal knee ROM?
A completely straight knee joint will measure 0° and a fully bent knee will have a flexion of at 135° degrees. These are the benchmark “normal” ROM measures. If you've had a knee replacement, your physician may look for a knee flexion in the 125-135 degree range once you're fully recovered.Jul 26, 2018
How long does stiffness last after total knee replacement?
