Instructions
Preparation
- Sit on seat with back against padded back support. Push hand
lever to lower leg pads. Place one leg in between pads. Place
other leg on top of upper most pad bar. Release hand lever gradually.
Grasp handles to sides with each hand.
Execution
- Pull padded lever to back of thighs as far as possible by
flexing knee. Return padded lever until knee is straight. Change
legs and repeat for opposite leg.
Comments
- Allow resting leg on top to ride bar down and up throughout
exercise. Dorsal
flexion of ankle reduces active
insufficiency of Gastrocnemius allowing it to assist in knee
flexion.
