Knee Extension With a Pool Noodle for Support

Description

Stand with your back to the pool edge and lean against it. Place a pool noodle under the back of your knee to keep your thigh raised, while your other foot stays on the floor. Bend your knee, then straighten your leg out in front of you. Control the movement in both directions. Perform the number of repetitions recommended by your therapist, then switch legs.
