Image result for open vs closed chain exercises
{"Image DocumentName": "Types: there are two types of kinetic chain exercises: Open (OKC) and Closed (CKC).", "Image ImageDescription": "Closed Kinetic Chain Exercise (CKC): (such as squatting) involve weight bearing. Distal segment is fixed or stabilized relative to proximal segment. Used more often in rehabilitation for lower extremity conditions. In closed kinetic chain exercises, movement at one joint produces predictable movements at all other joints. Weight bearing closed kinetic chain activities may increase joint compressive force and thus enhance joint stability. Open Kinetic Chain Exercise (OKC): (such as active flexion-extension) of the leg do not involve weight bearing . Distal segment is mobile and not fixed. In contrast, open kinetic chain exercises use isolated joint and muscle function and the motion is uni-planer.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
