In a rehabilitation process, it is
essential, initially, to treat the atrophy
(i.e. regain normal muscle volume)
before attempting to increase the
strength of the muscle using the
Reinforcement
programme.
The use of programmes of the
Rehabilitation category must under no
circumstances replace rehabilitation
sessions carried out in the presence of
the physiotherapist. Although the
restoration of initial muscular qualities is
a key factor in the process of
rehabilitation, other aspects (joint
mobility, vigilance, residual pain, etc.)
can only be dealt with effectively by a
competent health professional.
Some pathologies and some post-
operative rehabilitations require special
precautions during use; you are therefore
always advised to seek the opinion of
your doctor or physiotherapist before
using any of the programmes of the
Rehabilitation category.
At the end of a cycle, you may do some
maintenance at the rate of 1 session a
week at the last level reached.
Specific applications
Atrophy of the quadriceps as
a result of trauma
The quadriceps is a voluminous muscle
located in the anterior part of the thigh.
It is the main muscle that allows you to
stretch the knee; its role is therefore
essential for walking, running, climbing
stairs, etc. Any trauma affecting a lower
limb therefore results in a wasting of
this muscle, the reduction of muscle
volume being more or less serious
depending on the duration of the period
of inactivity. This atrophy is normally
spectacular when it occurs after trauma
to the knee, particularly if the trauma
was treated by means of surgical
intervention.
The programmes of the Rehabilitation
category are specifically designed to treat
the deterioration of muscle fibres that
results from such a process. The
progressiveness of the work imposed by
the different recommended programmes
is decisive in obtaining optimum results.
