Today I got to shadow several physical therapists. I got to see several repeat patients today. One patient I saw was one that I had seen last week. She had surgery on her knee and was still trying to get full range of motion back. Once she had done her exercises and the physical therapist had stretched out the parents knee she was able to extend it fully. Once she had it fully extended she then put the sour muscles in heat in order to loosen the muscles.

The picture that I have here is of the brace that they used when she had heat on her muscles. This allowed her to keep her leg straight and it helped her straighten her leg more on her own.
