Vijay Samuel Raj V

Abstract :

 Quadriceps lag is one of the complications of surgery and or prolonged immobilization. Various factors like pain and stiffness can contribute to decreased muscle power leading to lag. Early intervention and appropriate exercise protocols will reduce the chances of the complication and may help in the early recovery for an optimal function. This study aims to introduce a combination of exercise methods in two different cases involving the knee joint, both the case presented with a classic quadriceps lag. The patients were put on a new combination exercise techniques which consist of isometric hold exercise and terminal passive knee extension. A pre and post results on the active joint range of motion was recorded and analyzed for significance.

Conclusion: Exercise technique which combined terminal passive knee extension and isometric hold exercise was effective in improving active knee extension.
