Intended meaning of Pranav: Pranav is referred in Vajasaneyi Sanhita (à¤µà¤¾à¤à¤¸à¤¨à¥à¤¯à¤¿ à¤¸à¤à¤¹à¤¿à¤¤à¤¾), Taittiriya Samhita, Shatapatha Brahmana and Manu Smrti in which this word means the mystical or sacred syllable.
Normal Motion. Range of motion is typically measured using a tool called a goniometer. Normal ROM at the knee is considered to be 0 degrees of extension (completely straight knee joint) to 135 degrees of flexion (fully bent knee joint).ost functional activities require 0 to 117 degrees of motion at the knee. Walking requires complete knee extension at heel strike and up to 60 degrees of flexion at the initiation of swing phase.
The foot flexion is 22Â° (40Â° in maximum plantar flexion â 18Â° talo-first metatarsal angle in neutral). This gives a total ankle(tibiotalar) ROM of 20Â° dorsiflexion and 3Â° plantar flexion for a total of 23Â°. The combined ankle and foot ROM is 23Â° in the ankleand 22Â° in the foot for a total of 45Â°.,3 Dorsiflexion was 2.1Â° (range, â2Â°â10Â°). Themean ankle plantar flexion was 16.4Â° (range, 0.0Â°â34.0Â°),with a combined true tibiotalar ROM of 18.5Â° (range,3.0Â°â44.0Â°) (Table 1).At 1-year followup, there was a limited, but significant(p 0.0037), improvement in the tibiotalar ROM (Table Fig 1AâC.
