Quad Set - Long Sitting With Forward Reach
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: Get set up in a seated position on the ground with your legs together out in front of you. From here, contract your quadriceps muscles by pushing your knees into the ground and pointing your toes back towards you. As you contract your quads, reach your arms forward and try to touch your toes. Do this for the prescribed amount of reps and time.
FEEL: You should feel your quadriceps muscles working and a stretch in your hamstring muscles.
COMPENSATION: Keep your quads engaged in a quad set as you reach forward, don't bend you knees.
