This 71-year-old man fractured his pelvis and clavicle seven months ago. His range of motion, mobility, strength, and stability has significantly improved. He needs to perform challenging exercises to maximize his dynamic stability for the lumbopelvic-hip girdle and legs. The difficulty of the step-back lunge increases with the utilization of strobe eyewear to disrupt his vision.
The majority of the research and clinical commentary on the use of strobe eyewear for knee rehabilitation has been done with ACL patients. The research has been investigating neuroplasticity for visual-motor training.
The clinical reasoning is
❌ Disrupted afferent input
❌ Altered proprioception
❌ Altered efferent output
❌ Change in postural control
❌ Change in movement control
The change in movement control relies on visual feedback to maintain neuromuscular control. Treatment with strobe eyewear is utilized for visual-motor training with criterion-based exercise progressions.
As always - train both legs!
Effective and efficient rehab is criterion-based, not time-based.

Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. STOP exercising if you experience any symptoms of weakness, unsteadiness, light-headedness/dizziness, chest pain or pressure, nausea, or shortness of breath.
Performing these exercises should not cause pain. If you experience pain while exercising, decrease the speed of your movement. If the pain persists - STOP. Mild soreness after exercising may be experienced after beginning a new exercise.
