Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I found this at http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/09/09/28.html " A specific exercise for the VMO is a diagonal straight leg raise with the patient sitting on a table with thigh and leg flat (outstretched). The extremity should be positioned slightly lateral to the midline and the foot should be externally rotated. The patient lifts the straight laterally rotated extremity up and across the midline as if the knee were going towards the opposite shoulder. Besides strengthening the medial quadriceps, the hips flexors, adductors, and hip rotators are also exercised. Eventually weights can be added. " I think they mean " besides strengthening the VMO, the medial quadriceps [etc.] are also exercised " . Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
