Knee Muscles Strength Can be Improved by Using an Elastic Band as an Assistive Device for Knee-Ankle Complex

Abstract: Background There are various tools and methods used for strength exercise. Elastic bands, one of the resistance exercise tools, have been used for various purposes, including muscle strengthening; however, there is very little evidence supporting their efficacy. The study was performed to investigate the effect of knee-ankle elastic bands on knee muscle strength-related parameters according to sex in healthy adults. Material/Methods This was a cross-sectional study. Twe… Show more

“…The ability to push the band and sustain it with a bearable resistance was used as a requirement for the choice of the band. Once the specific band has been chosen, patient then used it for strengthening both the harmstrings and quadriceps muscles using is the procedure of Lee et al 25 For the quadriceps strengthening, the participant sat on a chair with the knee maintained in 90 degree flexion and the theraband was locked with the foot of the chair on one end with the band wrapped around the ankle on the other end as shown in plate 1. The patient extended the knee while the theraband stretched out, thereby strengthening the quadriceps muscle (Fig.…”
