STAIRCASE

Training stairs are used by therapists to train patients with progressive

stepping post-surgery or injury. These stairs are designed ergonomically
and provide a comfortable grip. These stairs are lined with anti-slip
material that prevents falls during rehab.

also referred to as quads. Your quadriceps are a
four- headed muscle group

4. Hip Flexors

The hip flexor muscles include:

 the iliacus, and psoas major muscles which

are known as the iliopsoas
