Knee Flexion

Strength Exercise

Do knee flexion as part of your regularly scheduled strength exercises, and add these modifications as you progress:

Hold table with one hand, then one fingertip, then no hands; then do exercise with eyes closed, if steady.

Summary:

1. Stand straight; hold onto table or chair for balance.
2. Slowly bend knee as far as possible, so foot lifts up behind you.
3. Hold position.
4. Slowly lower foot all the way back down.
5. Repeat with other leg.
6. Add modifications as you progress.
