Once you master the early quads activation and knee extension following injury or surgery, and then progress to a powerband, it's time to advance the isometric quads exercise of terminal knee extension one step further. Using a Physio ball in a standing position means you will get greater a isometric quads contraction as you're pushing against something, instead of pulling. You'll find you will get more fatigue, and you will have to position your foot right as well as make sure you get full terminal knee extension ("sometimes also called "total"). Aim to increase the holds from 10 sec through to 1min as you get stronger.

Haven't got a physio ball? use a larger swiss ball or even a folded pillow at home.
