RE: Ballistic vs. Sustained stretch

[Guest guest]

Can anyone provide me with any comments, supporting links or lit

references to support ballistic stretching over sustained stretching for

knee extension exercises for acute TKA patients?? We have a surgeon who

wants to change our current practice and home exercise program to

incorporate ballistic stretching over sustained stretching, but we

disagree with his recommendations. Our lit searches have been futile and

have not specifically addressed the issue for acute TKA patients.

Any help to support either approach would be helpful.
