Description
Invigoration of the front thigh musculature:
Walking forward
N
Expander tension from dorsal
N
Leg cuff mounting either on the thigh or foot
N
(the further distal the more muscle activity is
required)
Cave: distal tension can have negative effects on
N
patients with back pain as the lever action is too big
in case of strength deficits.
Invigoration of the posterior thigh musculature:
Walking backwards
N
Tension from ventral
N
s.a.
N
Improvement of the hip joint flexion
Walking forward
N
Tension from ventral
N
Leg cuff mounting: thigh
N
A diagonal pull has proved to be more optimal since
N
there will be less exercise in abduction, and more in
adduction.
Improvement of knee flexion:
Walking backwards
N
Tension from dorsal
N
Leg cuff mounting: foot
N
Improvement knee extension:
Walking forward
N
Pull from ventral
N
Leg cuff mounting: foot
N
Pull from ventral- cranial optimal, as more extension
N
is possible in the knee
