1. Set
resistance
as
injury
and
condition
dictate.
Approximately
2-5
Elasticords.
2. Position
the
patient
as
close
to
the
kickplate,
as
flexibility
allows.
Use
the
ROM
control
strap
in
conjunction
with
the
headrest
to
adjust
proximity.
The
more
flexible
the
patient,
the
closer
to
the
kickplate
the
patient
can
be
placed.
3. Place
and
fully
extend
one
leg
on
the
kickplate.
4. Place
the
opposite
involved
foot
in
the
stirrup
with
knee
bent.
5. Raise
the
right
foot
toward
the
ceiling
so
that
the
knee
is
extended
and
the
leg
is
straight.
6. Using
the
fine
adjustment
on
the
PNF
rope,
adjust
patients
leg
to
just
before
the
patient
begins
to
feel
the
stretch.
7. To
control
the
stretch
bend
the
uninvolved
leg
moving
carriage
toward
the
kickplate
beginning
the
stretch.
8. Keep
the
hips
square
and
the
back
flat
to
maintain
a
lordotic
curve.
9. Hold
for
10-15
seconds
and
release.
Repeat
5
times
on
each
leg.
Variation:
Control
the
stretch
by
gently
pulling
down
on
the
handle
that
is
attached
to
the
stirrup.
Contract-Relax
Technique:
Push,
by
contraction,
the
antagonist
(muscle
that
will
be
stretched)
isotonically
against
the
resistance
of
the
therapist.
The
patient
then
relaxes
the
antagonist
muscle
while
the
therapist
moves
the
limb
passively
through
as
much
range
as
possible
to
the
point
where
limitation
is
again
felt.
Alternatively,
set
the
resistance,
or
engage
the
ROM
Control,
so
the
carriage
won’t
move.
When
the
patient
lowers
or
raises
their
leg,
they
contract
or
relax
the
hamstring.
