“Squat” The knees are directly above the ankles, the patella points straight forward. When standing, the weight is evenly distributed on both feet, when bent, more on the heels. During flexion, the knees do not go over the toes, the lower legs remain firmly vertical.
The buttocks are lowered to the rear, as if one wanted to sit on a far away stool. To activate the vastus medialis (inner part of the knee extensor) more, a pillow/ball can be placed between the knees. The knees press inward during the knee flexion, but should not reach an X-B setting. There should be 15 repetitions with 3 sets. Back to the article Exercises against a patella luxation
