When the joint is bent the muscle gets hard and the bottom relaxes.

∙ 10y ago
When a joint is bent, the muscles around that joint contract and shorten. This causes the joint to move, resulting in the bending or flexing of the joint. The specific muscles involved and the degree of contraction depend on the joint and the movement being performed.

Is it better to keep your knee straight or bent when a burn mark is healing?
This depends on how large the burn is and the location. In the hospital severe burn patients keep their arms or legs straight the majority of the time to prevent contractures. Contractures occur at joints when the skin and muscle cannot stretch when the joint is straightened. To prevent this, the joint is kept straight and exercises are preformed regularly to move the joint through it's entire range of motion (Bent to Straight). The main goal is to prevent the joint from having difficulty bending from the skin not being able to stretch. In almost all cases the effected joint is kept straight because the muscles that allow for flexing or bending the joint are stronger than the muscles for straightening the joint. This is difficult because keeping the knee bent will likely be less painful and more comfortable - in the long run contractures will be excruciatingly painful.
