Description
1.
Invigoration of the front thigh musculature:
N
Walking forward
N
Expander tension from dorsal
N
Leg cuff mounting either on the thigh or foot
(the further distal the more muscle activity is
required)
N
Cave: distal tension can have negative effects on
patients with back pain as the lever action is too big
in case of strength deficits.
Invigoration of the posterior thigh musculature:
N
Walking backwards
N
Tension from ventral
N
s.a.
2.
Improvement of the hip joint flexion
N
Walking forward
N
Tension from ventral
N
Leg cuff mounting: thigh
N
A diagonal pull has proved to be more optimal since
there will be less exercise in abduction, and more in
adduction.
3.
Picture follows in next version
Improvement of knee flexion:
N
Walking backwards
N
Tension from dorsal
N
Leg cuff mounting: foot
4.
Picture follows in next version
Improvement knee extension:
N
Walking forward
N
Pull from ventral
N
Leg cuff mounting: foot
N
Pull from ventral- cranial optimal, as more extension
is possible in the knee
