Скачать или смотреть Functional Training Exercise - Master your knee control prosthetic vs sound side

Always check with your CPO/Therapist which exercises are possible with your prosthesis. As with any exercises, if you feel unwell or experienced a pain of physical discomfort, you should stop immediately and consult a physician.

Standing with your prosthetic foot flat on the ground and the knee fully straightened. Move the other foot slightly behind your prosthesis while keeping a gap between your feet and holding onto the parallel bars for support. Using your gluteal and residual limb muscles to control the movement, keep most of your weight over your prosthesis and try to bend the knee. The knee should feel secure with a lot of resistance in this position.
It is possible to make it bend, but it requires a lot of effort.
Repeat this movement, this time with less weight on the knee. You should feel less resistance and the knee bends more easily. If you move more weight onto the knee, it increases the resistance, as in the first part of the exercise.

In this video you see Rheo Knee (XC), If you do not have a Rheo Knee (XC) ask your CPO/therapist how to exercise with your prosthetic knee.
