A unilateral knee-extension exercise or test performed one leg at a time.
Refers to extending the knee against resistance (e.g., on a leg-extension machine or via isokinetic dynamometer) using one limb independently, rather than bilaterally. It is used both as a strengthening exercise and, more specifically in rehab settings, as a strength-testing task to calculate limb symmetry index (comparing involved vs uninvolved leg, e.g., post-ACL reconstruction). Without further context it's ambiguous whether the source means the exercise, the test protocol, or a specific outcome measure.
