Hey Abii,
although there is some evidence in the literature that you are able to use the standard goniometer when measuring internal/external rotation in the knee joint, I doubt it's reliable/relevant for practice.
When you use the goniometer you assess ROM in one joint over to fixed points. To assess the rotations, you would have to ensure that there is no motion coming from the ankle as well.
In practice I would say that you will rarely encounter the need to assess rotations this specific. Also, the knee joint follows a capsular pattern of flexion before extension and these movements will be affected first.

I hope this helps a bit. And thank you for your kind words. Where do you study?

[strangetml]

if active ROM of knee extension starts in supine, will not such posture induce a passive knee extension already? I thought the person should be seated to do knee extension?? Which one is correct?

I have done masters. Now please guide me what courses are the best to do for updating and which benifits patients

[mandybelshaw]

I'm struggling to see lateral patellar movement on knee extension and medial movement on flexion. I can see some movement this way on the tibial tuberosity. Am I looking in the wrong place?

[AbigailCollard]

Hi Physiotutors, I have a quick question, is it possible to measure knee internal and external rotation with a goniometer? If so what would be the best position to have the patient in? Thank you for your videos, they are really helping me study my first year of physiotherapy!

[rShubham]

will it help to a patient with varicose veins behind the knees?

[nicoleellis]

How would you assess active isometric knee internal and external rotation?
Thanks!
