ROM Resist & New Zealand

It is set up to go from minimal to quite resisted.

Straighten knee from flexion (start at 90 degrees) to straight. Do this with thigh held vertical. 3 levels of extension in this triad called 'severe'. Straighten knee similarly with thigh held flexed 45 degrees. This triad was called 'moderate'. [hah] Straighten knee with thigh held horizontal. This triad was called 'mild' tension as this tension still allows near full knee extension even with the thigh flexed. Tension levels are labeled as 1 through 9.

There are two preresist levels. 00 = only wearing bathing suit.

0 = rig is on but no elastic tension is set. 0 equaled 00 so all was well. After testing with elastic resistance then we retest walking free as in 00. Pressure sensors on the soles of the feet had no detectable effect on walking at all. Good.

So how did we do?
