The Positioning
• Note the pivot point at the front right corner of the
seat.
• Align the axis of the knees with the pivot point of
the machine and adjust the back pad to support the
body while maintaining this position.
• Adjust the leg pad to comfort behind the ankles.
• Check the weight to insure the appropriate resis-
tance has been selected. Body position and control
of the motion should never be compromised by
excessive weight.
• Be seated with the lower leg resting upon the pad.
• Lower the thigh stabilization pad across the quads
snugly, making sure that knee axis is also aligned
with the machine pivot vertically.
• If the knee does not fully extend while in this posi-
tion of hip flexion, due to tight hamstrings or other
complications, lowering the knee to align with the
pivot point will not be possible or safe without
adjusting the RLD to allow a start position of
slight knee flexion.
• With the ankles against the leg pad, position the
legs and feet parallel, ankles neutral and
relaxed or slightly plantar flexed.
• Grip the handles on the thigh pad.
• Stabilize the spine with the abdominals to pelvic motion throughout the movement.
The Motion
• Tighten the hamstrings and smoothly flex the knees as far as possible without moving the
pelvis/spine.
• Slowly return near the predetermined position of available extension without resting.
• To exit the machine pull the release button and raise the thigh pad.
