Unilateral Knee Extension Strengthening

Description

Attach an elastic band around the affected knee. Stand with the affected leg under your body or slightly in front of you, then lift the unaffected leg. You can use a wall, a chair, or a stick to maintain your balance. Bend the knee and then use the quadriceps muscles to extend it as much as possible. Make sure not to move your hips; focus only on activating the thigh muscles. Ensure that the knee does not excessively go beyond the toes during the descent.
