Maintaining knee ROM and physiological intra-articular pressure helps preserve joint health and function.
Good ROM → improves synovial fluid circulation and lubrication
Maintains cartilage nutrition and reduces stiffness
Preserves normal biomechanics and load distribution
Avoids excessive intra-articular pressure → reduces mechanical stress
Helps reduce the cycle of pain → stiffness → reduced ROM → altered biomechanics
Knee lubrication helps maintain knee intra-articular pressure and ROM.
Key message:
Maintain ROM + physiological joint pressure → better lubrication → less stiffness and mechanical stress → healthier knee function.
Also, maintaining good biomechanics helps us keep our knee well aligned and healthy.
