Q

Gastrocnemius muscle sterngth

A
  1. hands on wall or just two fingers on table for balance
  2. knee must stay in extension
  3. movement must be vertical
  4. must go through full ROM for reps to count
  5. watch for change in UE support

goal of 25 reps and <10% difference from the other side
