Range of motion should be assessed by extending and flexing the knee as far as possible (normal range of motion: extension, zero degrees; flexion, 135 degrees).oving the patient's knee through a short arc of motion helps identify the joint lines.

Introduction. An interest rate swap is a contractual agreement between two counterparties to exchange cash flows on particular dates in the future. There are two types of legs (or series of cash flows). A fixed rate payer makes a series of fixed payments and at the outset of the swap, these cash flows are known.o value a swap, the present value of cash flows of each leg of the transaction must be determined. In an interest rate swap, the fixed leg is fairly straightforward since the cash flows are specified by the coupon rate set at the time of the agreement.
Total Return Swap. A swap in which the two legs are an interest rate, whether fixed or floating, and the return on a set asset. The second party owns the asset, which is usually a set of loans, bonds, or an equity index. The advantage to a total return swap for the payer of the interest rate is that it allows him/her to benefit from the ownership of the asset without owning it. However, if the asset falls in price over the life of the swap, the payer of the interest rate is required to compensate the owner of the asset for the amount the asset has lost.
