Bridge with leg extension exercise

The exercise shown is used to develop core strength and stability. The patient lies on their back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. The patient then lifts their buttocks off the floor (bridge) by moving at the hips. Maintaining this position, the patient raises one leg and extends their knee until the leg is straight, while keeping the abdominal muscles tight, and then flexes the knee and returns the foot to the floor. The patient then performs the same maneuver using the opposite leg.
