Guest Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I say get a small balance board...its basically a board mounted to a half sphere. You stand on it with one leg and it strengthens your stabilizer muscles. After you get good at that I'd recommend doing lunges to the side and front..then doing strength training with leg extensions and leg curls after you feel your strength is back where it was.

veggieprincess Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 One Leg Leg Press is good and Leg Extensions done with your thighs elevated off of the bench gets to the band that holds the kneecap in place The one leg, leg press builds the strength evenly on both quads since a week kneecap forces you to put alot of stress on one side of the body. You will find that you don't need much weight at all to do these properly and your legs will still be shaking like crazy. I had knee surgery 2 1/2 years ago for a kneecap that continually dislocated. It's was a pretty long recovery but I don't regret getting the surgery one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floopy Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 They said if the knee dislocates once more I'll have to get surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
