Passive knee flexion/extension within the pain-free range with the hip positioned in 0 degrees of extension would be the most appropriate intervention in this case. This would allow for gentle movement and stretching of the affected area while avoiding further aggravation of the injury. Additionally, the hip extension position will help to isolate the knee joint and reduce stress on the injured muscle. It is important to avoid any movements that could worsen the pain or cause further damage, such as active knee extension or resisted knee flexion.
