Video Summary
Tamar Brand Perez, a physical therapist, emphasizes the importance of quad strengthening and gait training for patients who opt out of surgery. In walking, quadriceps are crucial, particularly during the heel's ground landing when the knee should flex about 15 degrees to absorb shock and reduce force. Weak quads impede this process, necessitating eccentric strengthening. If the muscle tear is significant, assistive devices are recommended to aid in walking and minimize gait deviations, ensuring effective movement control and support.
