I've heard fellow therapists say if a patient does or doesn't think PT will help their pain, they're right.

Patient appears today (wk 16) with clear patellar subluxation during first 20 degrees of knee extension. Told me he believes it appeared after a set of leg extensions. Am I wrong for prescribing him knee extensions? We did them in a progression (isos at 60, isotonics from 100-60 and then full arc at week 10. No issues with pain or instability) (the pati ..read more

What’s the best location? If I place it on the bottom bar, it’s too low and drags on the floor with risk of tubing being rolled over on the wheel. If I place it on the back rest bar, it is then above the level of the bladder. submitted by /u/littlemissFOB [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
