Open Kinetic Chain Exercises (OKCE) These exercises are performed typically where the hand or foot is free to move. These exercises are typically non-weight bearing, with the movement occurring at the elbow or knee joint. If there is any weight applied it is applied to the distal portion of the limb. The opposite of OKCE are closed kinetic chain exercises.
