The use of isokinetic equipment and the leg press exercise have been major components of rehabilitation for the past several years when redeveloping muscular strength. Recently, closed kinetic chain exercises have been shown to be more beneficial and have less adverse affects on the knee when rehabilitating a patient's lower extremity. The purpose of this article is to introduce the leg press foot plate to the rehabilitative community. This foot plate is a versatile piece of equipment that has been adapted for use with various isokinetic, isometric, and isotonic devices in order to do leg press exercises. The device allows for closed kinetic chain strengthening and testing from equipment typically used only for open kinetic chain activities.
在过去几年中，等速设备和腿部推蹬练习一直是肌肉力量康复的主要组成部分。最近，研究表明，在康复患者下肢时，闭链运动比开链运动更有益，对膝关节的不良影响更小。本文的目的是向康复社区介绍腿部推蹬脚踏板。这个脚踏板是一种多功能设备，它经过改装，可以与各种等速、等长和等张设备一起使用，以进行腿部推蹬练习。该设备允许使用通常仅用于开链运动活动的设备进行闭链运动强化和测试。
