What the difference between extension and hyper extension?

Extension and hyperextension are terms used to describe movements in joints. Extension refers to the straightening of a joint, increasing the angle between body parts, such as straightening the elbow or knee. Hyperextension occurs when a joint is extended beyond its normal range of motion, resulting in an angle greater than 180 degrees, which can sometimes lead to injury. Essentially, while all hyperextension is a form of extension, not all extension qualifies as hyperextension.


What is movement of a joint beyond the anatomical position?

What is a human ACL?

The knee joint is located where the end of the thigh bone (femur) meets the top of the shin bone (tibia). The ACL is one of 4 ligaments that stabilize the joint: medial collateral ligament (MCL) runs along the inside of the knee and prevents the knee from bending in, the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) runs along the outside of the knee and prevents the knee from bending out too far, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is in the middle of the knee, it prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) works with the ACL, It prevents the tibia from sliding backwards under the femur.
