Knee Injuries - Prevention and Treatment PHASE 4 (Functional Power and Agility)
Phase 4
7. One legged hopping on trampoline
7b. One legged squats on trampoline
8. Dynamic jumps onto trampoline
Alternate legs for this exercise and land flat footed.
14. Squat push with medicine ball
Begin movement by squatting down to a point where your thighs are parallel to the floor. Abdominals are braced. Accelerate weight upwards and end position is where arms are extended over head and body is in optimal postural alignment.
15a. Box jumps - two legged jump two legged land
Brace abdominals, flex hips and knees slightly before starting the jump. The landing should be flat footed and once you have landed you should stand upright in good postural alignment looking straight ahead.
15b. Box jumps – two legged jump one legged land
15c. Box jumps – one legged jump two legged land
15d. Box jumps – one legged jump one legged land
16a. Multi Planar hops – Sagittal
Prerequisites – you must be able to perform a two legged static box jump and a single leg balance with good posture, exhibit good core strength and have progressed through the previous phases with out any problem
Contract abdominals and stand on one leg in preparation for the movement. Flex hip and knee slightly, then do an explosive jump forward to land on the opposite leg. Stabilise landing for 3-4 seconds before performing another explosive jump. Perform movement 6-8 times before swapping legs. Use this format for side hops (frontal plane) and turning hops (transverse plane) ideally performing a 90 degree turn.
16b. Multi Planar hops – Frontal
16c. Multi Planar hops – Transverse
