Runner’s knee – Step 2

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

Tidsangivelserne i minutter angiver tidsfordelingen mellem udspænding, balance og styrke, hvis du træner én time.
Om du træner f.eks. én time eller 10 minutter tilpasses dit udgangspunkt – og kan optrappes over tid.

Condition

(unlimited): Cycling with the saddle high. Swimming. Light jogging

Stretching

15 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.

Stå ved at krydse træningsbenet strakt ind bagved støttebenet samtidig med, du bøjer dig ud til siden ud over træningsbenet, så der kommer tiltagende udspænding af ydersiden af låret. Hold udspændingen i 20 sekunder. Gentag øvelse skiftevis på højre og venstre ben

Stand on one leg. Support with one hand on a wall/chair. Bend the opposite knee and grasp the foot with the hand on the same side. Pull your foot up and your knee slightly backwards, so that your front thigh becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise alternately on the right and left leg.

Stand with your legs spread apart. One leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side on the bent leg so that there is an increasing stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite 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 the 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.

Stå på ét ben. Spil bold op ad væggen.

Strength

40 minutes of each training session

Fastgør en træningselastik i hoftehøjde foran dig. Sid på stol med ansigtet mod træningselastikken. Træningselastikken føres om anklen. Løft og stræk benet. Bøj herefter langsomt knæet, så træningselastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og stræk langsomt knæet igen.

Fastgør en træningselastik i ankelhøjde bag dig. Sid på stol med ryggen mod træningselastikken. Træningselastikken føres om skinnebenet lige over fodleddet. Stræk langsomt knæet, så træningselastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og bøj langsomt knæet igen.

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.

Fastgør elastikken i hoftehøjde. Stå med ansigtet mod elastikken foran en skammel/et trappetrin. Før elastikken om ryggen. Gå baglæns op og ned ad skamlen så elastikken strammes. Skiftevis højre og venstre ben først.

Lie on your back with your legs stretched. Wrap an exercise band around your ankles. Spread your legs as wide as possible. Hold the position for a few seconds and slowly bring your legs back to the starting position.

Lie on your side with your hips and knees bent with the training leg on top. Rotate forwards slightly so that your belly button points towards the ground. Place the elastic band around your thighs just above your knees. Lift the top knee free from the bottom knee as much as possible. Hold the position for a few seconds and slowly return to the starting position.

‘Sideboard’. Lie on your side and support your forearm and foot with your legs straight and your training leg on top. Raise your hips so your body is straight. Hold the position for as long as possible and then lower your hips to the starting position.

Lie on your back with your legs straight and a cloth under one heel. Bend both knees slightly and lift your hip. Hold the tension for a few seconds. Then lift the other leg straight. Hold the tension for a few seconds. Pull the support leg as close to the buttocks as possible. Hold the tension for a few seconds. Then stretch the support leg so that the leg is almost straight. Hold the tension for a few seconds. Then lower your hips to the floor and stretch your legs as in the starting position.

‘Squat. Stand up straight. Keep your hands together. Slowly bend your knees and hips (max until the ball is at table level). Your knees should point straight ahead over your toes. Hold the position for 5 seconds and slowly stand up to the starting position.
