Question:
In which plane of motion does knee flexion occur?
a. Frontal (Coronal)
b. Sagittal
c. Scapular
d. Transverse (Horizontal)
Knee Flexion And Extension:
Knee flexion is the process of bending the knee and pulling the toes toward the buttocks. The opposite movement would be to extend the knee by straightening at the knee and moving the toes away from the buttocks and toward the floor.
