Kelly... I´m a physiotherapist, crossfiter and a huge fan of your videos.. thanks for everything... but in this case I want to disagree with you in some aspects... you are right about the lock/unlock system of the knee, and that if you don´t lock your knee, you will never regain hypeextension... but, biomechanics said that when you hyperextend the knee, you need EXTERNAL ROTATION OF THE TIBIA, and INTERNAL when you flex... wouldn´t be more logic to try an external rotation of the tibia?.... n

To thepp stated, normal biomechanics is ER of tibia and relative IR of femur for screw home mechanism in terminal extension. If we were to apply a muscle energy as suggested in the video then why not apply and hold IR at the femur and then quad set with TKE to ER tibia as a mobilization. It appears that traction as applied also puts the passive stabilizing structures (ligaments and capsule) under tension which may inherently provide stability and prevent the best attempt at accessory motion.

I am also a PT and was thinking the same thing during the video. According to MDT there may be a lateral component that would be addressed at the knee with EITHER internal or external rotation, but assuming he is talking about normal biomechanics, I would also disagree with the basic mechanics of the video. A good test retest is to start with basic extension and then add the variable of IR to test the difference. Just a thought.

I assume you are a Certified or Diplomate in MDT (I`m certified in MDT too)... You are right, if we think about lateral component, that could be the solution, as well as the Mulligan Concept approach.... I think the technique Kelly is showing is great, but maybe he could say that he is not approaching the normal biomechanic correction of the knee, but a possible positional fault or derrangement... I love this career!

I am suffering of unequal extension my knee since I started doing my splits with every time i am doing it I ended with pain in my knee, and I noticed one of them is rotating internally while the another one still poping upward ( which will hurt me eventually), I think unable to hyperextend the knee it comes from tight hamestering esp. the medial part, I will try that , and thanks

(continue last respond)... Now if you are trying to fix a positional fault (as Mulligan Concept techniques), internal rotation is a possibility, but is not a normal biomechanic option... what do you think...? Max from Argentina

Doesnt the tibia externally rotate at the end of knee ext to complete the screw home mechanism? Why would you internally rotate the tibia like in the video then?

This is going to sound stupid, but I have a dog Pete's size and I'd like to get her a similar puffy coat... What kind of jacket is Pete wearing?

Is it me or does it look like his left ankle is really collapsed? This could also lead to knee issues.

I've had this problem for so long, and didn't know the solution was this easy! holy crap. THANKS.

Very helpful video, thanks. Particularly enjoyed the appearance of Pete the dog!

Was the self mob on the same knee that was tested? Or did I get turned around?

This was very helpful. Thanks a lot keep up the good work!!

This is amazing. I'm trying it tonight.
