| 11/11/2025

Starting position:
The exercise is started with the patient positioned with upright trunk, one hand holding on to a support and legs slightly split. All the body weight should be on the heel of the injured leg with approximately 10–20° knee flexion.

Instructions:
The patient is instructed to perform a gliding backward movement on the other leg and stop the movement before pain is reached. The movement back to the starting position should be performed by the help of both arms, not using the injured leg.

Sets:
6 x 3

Progression is achieved by increasing the gliding distance and performing the exercise faster.
