For hamstring, knee, and glute injuries:

  • The user may need to adjust the shoulder pad to its full angle, depending on the severity of the injury.
  • A trainer should assist the athlete by pushing the lever action back so the athlete can secure the foot and begin the exercise.
  • When exiting the machine, a trainer should continue to “spot” the lever for the athlete.

Key points to remember:

  • The angle to which the shoulder pad is adjusted will be determined by the athlete's range of motion.
  • When using the POWER RUNNER for rehabilitation purposes, a spotter should be used at all times, and workouts should be monitored by a trainer or therapist.
  • For best results, begin with no resistance and gradually increase the weight.
