Isometric Quads

31. Functional LL Retraining

• Sit on the floor with the affected leg out straight on the floor with a rolled towel underneath the knee, as shown.
• Tighten the front thigh muscle as if to push the back of the knee into the floor, and pull the foot back at the same time.  Aim to tighten the inside quad muscle.
• Hold for 6-10 seconds and repeat 10 times.  These can also be done in slight turnout to bias the VMO.
