Question

knee is more stable in flexion. true false

Explanation:

The knee joint is more stable in extension. In extension, the ligaments (such as the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, medial and lateral collateral ligaments) are taut, and the bony surfaces (femur - tibia articulation) fit in a way that resists excessive movement. In flexion, the joint has more range of motion and the ligaments are relatively slackened compared to the extended position, allowing for movements like bending but reducing the overall stability compared to the extended state.

Answer:

False
