Peak Force

Hip flexor contribution changes across hip angles. 30–45° = more rectus femoris 70–90° = more iliopsoas torque

Ive had the pleasure of being on a podcast & residency zoom this week talking RFD. Let me just say who gives a hoot about rate when our pt's/athletes don't even have force in the first place. Just look at the data. Were not good at the force part. Need strength FIRST.

@TaylorEDouthit Hi Taylor, generally don’t use belts for supine. I do cue the patient to hold on to the edge of the table to stabilize themselves though. I find that position is generally more repeatable. I always worry how much help the contralateral limb is giving in side lying too.

@force_peak Hey Jacob, do you typically stabilize the trunk/pelvis with belts when in supine? I use side lying and like that they are supported. When I use the force frame I tend to see a ceiling effect and better symmetry compared to SL. Supine with tindeq/microfet sometimes gives us issues
