So I was trying to understand the knee ROM and I just don't get it. Here is the ROM for my LT knee.
[X] Abnormal or outside of normal range
Flexion (0 to 140): 50 to 90 degrees
Extension (140 to 0): 90 to 50 degrees
But at the same time the C&P examiner posted this:
If abnormal, does the range of motion itself contribute to functional
loss? [X] Yes (please explain) [ ] No
If yes, please explain:
unable to straighten knee
Description of pain (select best response):
Pain noted on exam but does not result in/cause functional loss
If noted on exam, which ROM exhibited pain (select all that apply)?
Flexion, Extension
Not sure how this ROM will be rated any guesses?

After looking at the chart,the way the C&P examiner entered your knee ROM confuses me. Hope someone can add to this.

I dont think you will get above 40% when its only one knee, no matter what, as long as you can walk. Probably less.
