Quantifying Quad Index.
Our athlete in the video had a recent abdominal tattoo that limited us from strapping him down into the chair. In future tests, ensure patient cannot lift from the chair so that the degree of knee extension is maintained between 60-90 degrees depending on goal of test. 45 degrees of knee extension is not a good measure of quad output unless that’s targeted intentionally.
ACL rehab is largely focused on restoring and maximizing quadriceps strength, rate force development, and generalized power.
Quantify strength outputs in order to most optimally serve your athletes.
Keep it simple.
