📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot
You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:
- Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
- The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
- FHIR resources are build-time snapshots served as static files, not the live /api/exercises/<slug>/fhir route.
- The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.
Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.
Knee Internal Rotation
Tibiofemoral Joint • Knee • transverse plane
Draft80%
Internal rotation of the tibia on the femur. Occurs primarily with the knee flexed. Popliteus initiates 'unlocking' of the knee from full extension.
Axis: longitudinal
Normal Range of Motion
AROM
0–10°
Active range
PROM
—
Passive range
Measured with the knee flexed to 90°.

| Muscle | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Popliteus | Primary | 'Unlocks' knee from full extension |
| Semitendinosus | Primary | Moment arm at 30° flexion: 6.8-9.0 mm |
| Semimembranosus | Primary | Moment arm at 30° flexion: 10.1-11.6 mm |
| Gracilis | Secondary | Moment arm at 30° flexion: 6.0-15.7 mm |
| Sartorius | Secondary | Moment arm at 30° flexion: 8.2-14.1 mm |
