More on Slant Board Exercises

Strength and conditioning exercises can help with rehab and injury prevention.

Definitions:

VMO (vastus medialis oblique) - inner thigh muscle helping stabilize the knee and extend the knee

Posterior chain muscles - The posterior chain is the group of muscles and connective tissues on the backside of the body, extending from the base of the skull down to the soles of the feet

These muscles work as a kinetic chain for hip extension, resist flexion, and stabilize the spine, pelvis, and hips during movement. 

Slant board exercises can help with the VMO (especially descending squats) and calf strength, Achilles stretch, and ankle mobility (ascending board)


Inexpensive equipment that is easy to use.
