The only exercises I do with feet planted are the elliptical and the leg presses. Why no concern about the thigh abduction and adduction? What other exercises would you see me doing?

The vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) is above the knee to the inside? The first two times I had electrostim, one pad was here and one pad was on the outside. Yesterday, one pad was on the outside and the other was further up the thigh (can't remember if it was inside or outside). Last week I was told to contract and relax my muscles (push knee down into the table) while the stim was on and rest while it was off.

How do I do the "straight leg raise with the knee turned out"?

At PT I stretched my IT on the foam roller, but at home I'm using other stretching methods. Would it be worth it to get a roller for home? It hurt so good (I own The Stick, but the roller seemed more effective).
