How it is performed

  • Participants lay supine with one knee held to the chest and the other leg extended. The hip is moved toward the floor until a mild stretch is felt. Sub-maximal isometric contraction for 10 seconds against resistance, followed by passive movement to a new range of motion and holding for 20 seconds. Repeated 6 times per limb.

Dose

Nothing states what this option's dose measures — no library step prescribes this option and its review states no dose unit.

Dose and time, as the papers state it

No row states a dose or a time for this option.

Equipment

Equipment is a property of the movement and is authored, never derived from the evidence corpus (docs/research/round2/ROUND2_KNOWN_CORRECTIONS.md §1). This option resolves to no catalogue exercise, so nothing has authored it yet.

Level and prerequisites

  • Requires a treatment table, active participation from the individual, and assistance from an examiner to apply resistance and move the leg.

Who should not do this

The papers behind this option report nothing on contraindications, which is not the same as saying there are none.

Setting, as the studies used it

No row describes the setting.

What the papers compared it with

A paper measuring one option against another does not make the two interchangeable, and it does not say which to choose. These are listed as what the papers did, and nothing here proposes a substitution.
