Yeah, I wonder about the knee extensions, too. Ask your PT to explain why they are doing "open kinetic chain" exs rather than all "closed kinetic chain"? (open chain, you aren't putting weight thru your feet. perhaps not an optimal situation with the quad/knee business.)
(and what's with the Russian stim? was that on your VMO? Are you unable to contract the muscle on your own?)
Very glad to hear you are stretching! And glad they put the McConnell tape in the right spot!
Straight leg raises with the leg rolled out a little are really fun, cuz you can FEEL and SEE the vastus medialis obliquus contract. Way cool. Hillslug, you might get a kick out of them, ask your PT to show you.
3 diff PTs in 3 visits is pretty interesting. It will be nice if you can keep the current one for the rest of your visits.
Edit: BTW, I really like ChiRunning.
