Indications
Toning weakened musculature.
Contraction starting point
In a mid-range easy position.
Modus Operendi
The affected muscle is allowed to contract, with some constant resistance from the operator.
Forces
The patient’s effort overcomes that of the operator since the patient’s force is greater than the operator’s resistance. The patient uses maximal effort available, but force is built slowly, not via sudden effort. The operator maintains a constant degree of resistance.
Duration
3-4 seconds
Repetitions
Repeat 5-7 times, or more if appropriate.
