ditto from me too about the gastroc and quads

[nicolaasvink]

I agree with mentalet, this isn't the right way for testing muscle strength. Thumbs down for this video...

[mentalet]

This isn't right:

Quadriceps test: you ask for full extension in the knee while she has a active forward flexion in her hip. So when you push down, your force is being redirected to the hip where only the bi-articulair part of the Quads (m. rectus femoris) is active as is the other hipflexor (m. illiopsoas).

Your testing the gastrocnemius with a bended knee? the gastroc is the bi-articulair so by bending the knee you made it less active. Your testing the soleus and again in a weird way

Get the patient to do AROM first then do passive then resist. As always test the good side first.
