Position two cone about two feet apart. Begin standing on one leg and
slowly squat down reaching the left hand toward the right cone. Lightly
touch the cone at the bottom and return to the full upright position
each time. Next, reach the right hand toward the left cone in the same
manner. Alternate sides and perform 5-10 repetitions on each side.
Repeat for 2-3 sets.
Discourage any excessive valgus or hip
internal rotation/adduction during the movement, and watch for
overpronation as well. Encourage a slower controlled cadence especially
on the descent.
This exercises can be done in front of a mirror
to offer visual feedback and kinesthetic feedback can also be used to
facilitate the proper movement pattern.
