Long Arc Quad - AROM

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

HOW: Position yourself in a seated position on an elevated surface so your feet are off of the ground. Set your knees up on the edge of the surface. From here, squeeze your quadriceps muscles, point your toes toward you, and kick your leg up in a slower, controlled motion.

FEEL: You should feel your quadriceps muscles working.

COMPENSATION: Make sure the bend of your knees is on the edge of the surface. Stay upright as you perform the movement, don’t rock back and forth. Don’t kick up too fast, slower and controlled motion
