The funny thing is, as pointed out by @Movement Project PT when using the slantboard you are repositioning yourself so that your knees DONT move over the toes while increasing load. I was able to do a similar thing by doing supported squats--door handle squats--and keeping my knees over my ankle and then incrementally increasing the difficulty by using my hands less. The slantboard is a similar adaptation--when viewed biomechanically you ARENT putting your knees in front of your toes while using the slantboard....

Exactly! Couldn't agree more. It is brilliant marketing and delivery by Ben. Knees over toes is a problem when that is the only way your body knows how to move (usually due to posterior hip weakness). When that happens, you beat the heck out of your patellofemoral joints, patellar tendons, etc. Appreciate the comment!

Another option for hip flexors - place a foot through the handle of a kettlebell. That will isometrically strengthen the tibialis anterior as well. PTA here with the same mission. Keep up the good work!

@MovementProjectPT

As I mentioned in video (11:10-12:25), you cannot selectively recruit the VMO. Research and clinical experience shows us that patellar tracking issues are due to the femur's position (patellar groove) and not the patella itself. If you are having tracking issues, focusing on control of hip rotation to impact the femur is most critical.

@MovementProjectPT

3 жыл бұрын

To answer your questions, slantboard squat and KOT split squat would be best of these exercises but with a careful focus on alignment of your femur when doing so. Be sure the knee is not angling inward. Good rule of thumb is to keep knee caps inline with the 5th toes or wider.

@firagabird

@@MovementProjectPT Thanks for the detailed reply! The note on femur angle is interesting. I naturally have a bit wider stance (and feet angled a bit out) from what seems to be anatomical reasons. Would prefer the slantboard squat (bilateral > uni for time-efficient strength training), though your note at 7:34 mentioned avoiding going beyond 60 degrees flexion? Doing a squat with thighs parallel to ground would take the knee flexion to ~130 degrees on the board/heels on plates.

@MovementProjectPT

@@firagabird You are correct about the angle. The research talks about passing 60 degrees on a slantboard regarding patella femoral pressure. If you are doing a traditional squat, passing 60 is far less of a problem. Ben's info is great for patellar tendinitis but if you have tracking issues and patellofemoral joint pain you really must master the classic hip dominant (knees behind toes) squat first. Then, you can progress to this program.

Great video! I really like how you explain the rationale behind the slant board squats and sissy squats. In his program (which I bought for a month out of sheer curiosity), he has KOT step ups and "Patrick" steps, which seem like a unilateral sissy squat. I was really wondering whether this was good for the knee in terms of loading the patellar tendon. After watching your video a couple times, it sounds like it is good because it puts a load on it and causes strengthening? Is the load on the patellar tendon good for tendonitis because it puts stress on it and increases blood flow? But can doing this movement be the cause tendonitis? My knees are fine, I just want to keep them that way and do anything that would be good to prevent knee issues in the future. (You know, stay ahead of the curve). Thanks in advance

@MovementProjectPT

3 жыл бұрын

Appreciate the thoughtful comment!If you do not have knee pain, I would worry less about loading the patellar tendon and instead focus on building every joint's ability to withstand load in many positions. Ben's program is great but it does miss a few pieces namely lateral and transverse plane movements to help in injury prevention. Yes the decline squat puts more load (think of it as a stimulus for growth/adaptation) on the tendon with less joint forces compared to the traditional squat. Also, eccentric and isometric activities (especially long duration isometric) provide stimulus for adaptation without a corresponding joint shear force. They tend to be more tolerated in general. There are also things happening at the cellular level during these types of exercises that can contribute to the healing process (collagen adaptation, etc) Sorry if that was too in depth. Hope it helped! Keep up the good work

@@incorectulpolitic A stick. 18-24 inches long an inch or so thick. Thick enough to hold the weight you're using without bending(25% KOTG recommends I believe). Make it perpendicular to the handle Then while sitting on a bench or a sofa, you should be able to raise your toes up and down. Do it slowly until you're used to the movement. You may need to wear shoes and have a towel for comfort.

Another DIY curl solution is a belt (dip belt, Nordic strap, etc), some cushion, and a bench! I have a drywall bench and that’s what I use! Alternatively, I jerririgged a “monkey foot” with some a quick release buckle and a kettlebell! All these exercises are crucial imo! I’ve been dealing with lots of knee pain for a few years and it’s incredible how much I’ve improved over the past year incorporating all of these exercises into my daily routine.

Nordic Hamstring Curl: The knee goes from a 90 degree bend to 45 degrees before most people "flop" and can't sustain the eccentric contraction. If you were to use a leg curl machine that is flat, (no hip flexion) and isometrically contract the gluteus maximus, the motion is from the top of the hamstring curl to half way down. To the hamstring, does it really matter? The Nordic Hamstring Curl looks really cool, however in your PT practice, are there many that can do a full range of motion? Unless you're dealing with super strong athletes, probably not. For the average person, what's your take on the amount of compression on the kneecap (even though there's a pad) when you're kneeling on the kneecap and eccentrically lowering yourself down? Seems it would be easier for the average person to use a leg curl machine and have an assistant help the weight up so that your knee is bend 90 degrees and then eccentrically lower the weight. You could control the weight (some peoples' body weight is huge). You're not going to get the hits on Instagram or KZread like you would with a gym ball eccentric or leg curl, but almost every patient that has tried to do a Nordic in my clinic doesn't like the body weight compression on the patella. What are your thoughts?

Thank you for the detailed comment and great question! You hit the nail on the head when it comes to working to muscle through its full functional and even anatomical range of motion without irritating the patient. That being said, the largest compressive forces at the PF joint result in conjunction with a quadriceps contraction. Especially contraction that is unchecked in all directions from VL and VM. Since this is a hamstring exercise, the resulting compressive vectors from the quadriceps are slim to none and or the product only of the individual's body weight. Compare that with jogging which is 3-7X Body weight at the PF joint (depending on which study you reference). Furthermore, if you employ a plantarflexed instead of a dorsiflexed ankle, you shift the load to the tibial tuberosity and away from the patella completely. The exercise you describe is great to work the muscle in isolation but it is open chain, primary action. Unless you are sprinting or jumping, the hamstring is rarely used in an open chain with force. My final comment is that working the hamstring in the reverse action is the most beneficial for function. The Nordic will work a neutral to shortened range with knee flexed to 90 and Straight leg dead lift will work the lengthened range with knee at near full extension. For maximum gains, ideally all muscles should be trained: -Concentrically and Eccentrically -Primary and Reverse Action -Lengthened and Shortened range -Open and Closed chain Thanks again and let me know your thoughts!

@@MovementProjectPT I was doing the program for awhile and I kind made due with the equipment I have . So I don't think a lot of stuff was ideal , especially the narrow bench I was doing my Nordics on . I think it may of been the reason my knee cap has been hurting a lot for about two or three weeks . I stopped doing the program this week to see if it gets better , I hope it does because I hate not training .

That's a completely legit claim. I've worked with very wide range of people over the years (from the elderly to military / combat fitness) and i have seen different people react differently to the Nordic, in terms of patellar pressure. It seems nothing to do with the body weight, as i've witnessed slim ninja-warrior-obstacle-course dudes - also had complained about that. Padding, knee positioning and ankle manipulation helps, (and should be tried) but not always eliminate the problem. Even when the difficulty of the exercise is reduced. On the other hand, i also dealt with 60+ fit guys who did this exercise all the way to failure, without any negative side-effects. What i would conclude, is - while the exercise is undeniably great, it may not be suitable for everyone out there. Experimentation and attention to your trainees (or patients) should determine when, how hard and if at all. In the end, strengthening the hamstring is much higher priority than going after a specific exercise. If it goes well - great, take it, if not - there are other means to work the muscle. That's my take on it.

Great video! Love how open minded you are.

I imagine if you put an exercise band over the top of your door with the sheet under the bottom, it could help you ease into the exercise by taking off some of your upper body weight so you can maintain proper form through the range of motion.

I thought the same! I'm a former Group Ex instructor - overuse issues with one bum knee and I thought I'd have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I happened upon the KOT guy and after two (only two) days of doing his exercises, my knee pain is 90% gone and feels stronger. I cannot do the exercises like Ben can but it's a start and has given me confidence for the future!
