STRENGTHENING
QUAD
STRENGTHENING
(BILATERAL)
1. Set
resistance
as
injury
and
condition
dictate.
2. Place
your
feet
on
the
kickplate,
parallel
and
shoulder
width
apart,
flexing
90
degrees
at
the
hip,
knee,
and
ankle.
3. Press
back
on
the
kickplate,
extending
the
knees.
Do
not
snap
the
knees
into
hyperextension.
4. As
strength
and
condition
improve,
gradually
increase
the
degree
of
initial
flexion
by
lowering
the
position
of
the
feet
on
the
kickplate
and/or
by
positioning
the
body
on
the
carriage
closer
to
the
kickplate.
When
one
side
is
significantly
weaker
than
the
other,
the
stronger
leg
may
compensate
until
the
weaker
side
improves.
Variation:
Progress
on
to
unilateral
squats.
1. Place
each
foot
on
the
outside
edge
of
the
kickplate.
Externally
rotating
from
the
hips,
and
tucking
the
buttox
under,
turn
the
feet
outward.
The
entire
foot
should
remain
in
contact
with
the
kickplate.
2. The
degree
to
which
the
feet
may
be
safely
turned
outward
is
related
to
the
patient’s
ability
to
keep
the
knee
in
line
with
the
foot
and
the
height
at
which
the
feet
are
placed
on
the
kickplate.
