What Is Normal Range of Motion In a Joint?
Definition: What Is Normal Range of Motion Of a Joint? Although there is variability among individuals, the following are generally accepted values for normal range of motion (ROM) in each joint as measured in degrees (°). Common joint movements include flexion, extension, abducction, and adduction. Hip • flexion 0° to 125° • extension 115° to 0° • hyperextension (straightening beyond normal range) 0° to 15° • abduction 0° to 45° • adduction 45° to 0° • lateral rotation (rotation away from center of body) 0° to 45° • medial rotation (rotation towards center of body) 0° to 45° Knee • flexion 0° to 130° • extension 120° to 0° Ankle • plantar flexion (movement downward) 0° to 50° • dorsiflexion (movement upward) 0° to 20° Foot • inversion (turned inward) 0° to 35° • evers
