***My attitude certainly is not one of eliminating open chain exercises, but
to decrease the overemphasis that has prevailed for far too long on these
exercises (as well as isolationist type exercises in general) and to stress a
more rational balance of open and closed chain exercises (and other multi-
articular exercises), the exact nature of the balance being determined by the
individual,the situation, the phase of rehab and so on.
