What does Cruciate ligaments in knee do?
cruciate ligaments (cruciatum), allowing a very large range of motion (extension and flexion) of knee
What are the two types of movement possible at your knee?
The principal movements occurring at this joint are flexion and extension of the leg, but some rotation also occurs in the flexed position.Flexion and extension of the knee joint are very free movements.
How can people measure suppleness?
Flexibility is measured by the range of motion. The range of movement is measured by using a goniometer: hip flexion, hip extension, hip adbuction, hip adduction, shoulder adduction, shoulder fexion, shoulder extension, elbow flexion/extension, and knee flexion/extension.mile run
What joint is united by dense fibrocartilagagionous tissue and permits a slight degree of movement?
Several joints allow range of motion, it depends on what kind of range of motion you are talking about. Ball & socket joints (such as the shoulder) allow circumduction, abduction and adduction; hinge joints (such as knee and elbow joints) allow flexion and extention.
Which type of of movement bends the knee and brings the lower leg backward?
Extension. Extension increases an angle, as in straightening a joint. During extension, the knee or elbow are straightened.
What does Cruciate ligaments in knee do?
cruciate ligaments (cruciatum), allowing a very large range of motion (extension and flexion) of knee
What is the type of joint found in the knee and elbow?
They are hinge joints. The elbow has only one plane of motion (flexion & extension); however, the knee is considered a "modified hinge" because it has the flexion & extension as well as a rotational (pivot) component as well.
What is an active range of motion?
Active range of motion is when a joint is moved through its range with the person moving the joint him or herself. Passive range of motion is when something besides the muscles of the joint does the moving. So if I were to bend someone else's knee (and they didn't help) it would be passive range of motion. But if the person just moves his or her joint, then it is active.
What is the amount of movement you can make at a joint?
It depends on the joint. The hip joint, for instance, has far more range of motion than the knee joint.

What does a knee joint do?
In addition to simple flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements, the knee joint is designed to allow for rotation, gliding, and rolling movements.
Are there such a thing as right knee flexion?
Both the left and right knee contain a group of muscles referred to as the flexor. When these muscles are contracted, it creates the process known as flexion of the joint.

What is the role of the quads and hamstrings in producing movement at a specific joint?
The quads give flexion movement at hip and extension movement at knee joint. While the hamstrings give extension movement at hip and flexion movement knee jiont.
What two joint actions do the cable hamstring exercise?
hip extension and knee flexion
What type of joint is the knee?
pivotal hinge joint that allows flexion, extension as well as slight medial and lateral movement.
