Runner’s knee – Step 4

Rehabilitation starts with the exercises in Step 1. When the exercises can be performed without pain, rehabilitation starts on the next step.

How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

Do I have to do the whole program every time? No, you can divide the exercises into different days. The most important thing is to exercise regularly and gradually increase the intensity

The time in minutes indicates the time distribution between stretching, balance and strength if you train for one hour.
Whether you train for one hour or 10 minutes, for example, is adapted to your starting point – and can be increased over time.

Condition

(unlimited): Cycling. Swimming Run.

Stretching

10 minutes of each training session

Stand with your training leg straight on a step/stool while bending your front body slightly forwards. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds.

Stand by crossing the training leg straight behind the support leg while bending out to the side over the training leg so that there is an increasing stretching of the outer thigh. Hold stretching for 20 seconds. Repeat exercise alternately on right and left leg

Stand on one leg. Support yourself with one hand against a wall or chair. Bend the opposite knee and grasp your foot with the hand on the same side. Pull your foot upwards and your knee slightly backwards, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise, alternating between your right and left legs.

Stand with your legs apart. Keep one leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side onto your bent leg, so that you feel a gradual stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.

Lie on your back with one leg straight. Bend the other leg and place your foot on the other side of the stretched leg. With both hands, pull your knee up towards the opposite shoulder so that your buttocks are increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg.

Coordination

5 minutes of each training session

Hold balancen på to ben på vippebrættet. Støt i starten med hånden mod væggen. Senere holdes balancen på ét ben uden støtte. Prøv senere at holde balancen med lukkede øjne.

Lig på ryggen med bold under træningsbenet. Løft hoften op fra gulvet og stræk det raske ben. Hold stillingen i 10 sekunder. Gentag øvelsen skiftevis med højre og venstre ben.

Strength

45 minutes of each training session

Fastgør en træningselastik 10 cm over gulvhøjde. Stå med siden mod træningselastikken med træningsbenet tættest på elastikken. Før elastikken om træningsbenet. Placer elastikken mellem knæ og ankel (jo længere nede jo kraftigere er belastningen). Før langsomt benet til siden (ind foran støttebenet), så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt benet frem til udgangspositionen.

Lie on your back with your legs straight. Place an exercise band around your ankles. Spread your legs as wide as possible. Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly bring your legs back to the starting position.

Lig på siden. Bøj det nederste ben og stræk det øverste. Stæk hoften helt. Løft det øverste ben mod loftet med hælen pegende mod loftet. Belastningen kan øges, ved at komme en sandsæk eller lignende om anklen.

Stå med ryggen mod vægen og med vægten på træningsbenet. Løft det raske ben op på en skammel. Bøj langsomt knæet på træningsbenet til 90 grader. Støt igen med det raske ben og brug dette til komme op og stå.

Lig på ryggen med bold eller pølle under begge fødder. Tril bolden frem og til bage i roligt tempo, mens du løfter hoften.

Lie on your side with your forearm and knee on the floor, knees bent, and the working leg on top. Lift your hips so that your body is straight. Hold the position for at least 5 seconds. Slowly lower your hips back to the starting position.

Stand upright with your legs straight and hip-width apart. Fold your hands in front of your chest. Bend both knees as much as possible. Hold the position for a few seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.

Fastgør en træningselastik i hoftehøjde. Sæt træningselastikken rundt om hoften, så træningselastikken er spændt. Stå på det raske ben med siden mod træningselastikken. Sæt af på det raske ben og land på træningsbenet længere væk, så træningselastikken spændes yderligere. Husk at elastikken skal være placeret så den giver modstand i afsættet. Gentag øvelsen på modsatte ben.
