Abduction of the Knees (fig. 71).
The patient lies in the semi-recumbent position, the knees
being bent and the feet resting at the same level as the buttocks.
The operator stands in front of the patient, and places one hand
on the outer side of each knee. The patient abducts the thigh
under resistance from the operator, and the latter afterwards
adducts the knees while the patient resists. In this way the
abductors of the thighs are strongly acted upon. One must
stand in front of the patient in order to produce extension of
the muscles.
In the same position the adductor muscles of the thighs can
also be exercised if resistance be made on the inner side of the
knees when they are approximated to each other, or if the
operator abducts the knees, the patient making resistance.
