Check out this awesome progression of exercises focused on getting the knee straight and also working the core‼️ . 1️⃣ Forearm isolated quad sets 2️⃣ Forearm quad set with plank 3️⃣ Forearm hip and knee extension with plank 4️⃣ Dynamic forearm hip and knee extension with plank . Phase 1️⃣ is the best for people recovering from ACLR surgeries early on working on knee extension that is limited due to the hamstrings. Starting on your forearms, focus on lifting your knee off the ground by squeezing your quads. This will get the hamstrings to relax via reciprocal inhibition (the process of muscles on one side of a joint relaxing to accommodate contraction on the other side of that joint). The quadriceps are on the front of the thigh, so when they contract to straighten the knee the hamstrings will relax to allow the knee to straighten. #futbol #soccer #NBA #NFL _ The Prehab Guys: Optimizing human movement and performance, promoting longevity, and keeping your movement system in tune one post at a time.
