Clyde's TKE - 10-Minute Protocol:
1. While seated upright on the floor place the thin rigid end of the device under the buttock.
2. Place the heel in the foam riser then it's the frame to the users comfort extension.
3. Place the passive pressure strap just above the knee applying the first slight pressure for two minutes.
4. Then every two minutes inflate the bladder with two puffs from the inflation bulb. The inflation elevates the heel naturally gliding the knee toward terminal extension.
5. The last two minutes? Well - the user should only be thinking about one thing. "Hey, when am I getting out of Clyde's TKE!"
This procedure is generally performed three times per day for ten minutes per session until full extension is accomplished.NOTE: It can also be advantageous in overcoming long standing extension problems by simply lengthening the application time. Always consult with your doctor or therapist and follow their recommendations.
