CKC
- Multiple joints
- predictable patterns
- distal end fixed
- eccentric co-contraction
- decrease shearing
- increase joint compression, stability and proprioception
Intro to CKC
- Predictable movement of one joint based on movement of other joints
- Terminal joints meet considerable external resistance which prohibits or restrains free motion
- Progressed in 80s for safe quad rehab in ACL reconstruction pts
- Iso knee extention (0and20) more strain on ACL than biking and walking
- SAQ 30-0 high PF compression compared to partial aquat in same range
Functional CKC testing
- WB excursion tests
- B and U squat test
- Balance reach test
- Step up/down
