Abstract
Lower limb injuries are increasing in frequency as our population participates in sports and conditioning activities, even into old age. Older athletes suffer from overuse and degenerative conditions, while younger athletes have more contact sports injuries. Lower limb conditioning with quadriceps resistance in very old persons may result in less trauma and greater mobility, and should be considered for routine care of the very old.Keywords
