The performance of the movement should come initially from the knee joint and not from the hip joint. Continuous movement following the initial one may cause a small hip joint flection.

2. Criteria

The vertical axis of the length of the leg should remain straight. A genu varum or a valgum is not allowed to occur. The patella should point in the direction of the third metatarsale.
