- Movement: Begin by pushing the hips back and then squatting with the standing leg. Control the lowering portion of the movement, progressively increasing the distance traveled.
- Can begin with lowering the differing heights of boxes/chairs to develop control and depth.
- This single legged movement helps with developing the stabilizers of the femur/knee (Glute medius and maximum). Helps develop femoral control.
- Good for patients with any patella-femoral pain.
