Leg press machine

The machine leg press can be performed in several ways. The "unloaded" (ie, no body weight) eccentric squat may be performed using a leg press or a shuttle. The exercise may be performed unilaterally using the affected extremity, with the concentric portion (pushing from platform) performed using the unaffected extremity as well. The exercise may be done bilaterally if pain is too great during the unilateral version. Alternatively, a standard leg press may be performed using one or both legs.
