Reinforce the Lower Extremity
After the reset phase, the next step of rehabilitation is to reinforce the joint segment. Through a combination of corrective exercise, and conservative lifestyle modifications, the reinforce phase is focused on to maximizing the neuromuscular activation of the surrounding musculature to increase stability, which increases the amount of force the joint segment can generate (Cook, 2013). The goal is to increase the speed of muscle contraction and the motor output of the muscl
