Sorry for the delay. His issue was that I have only been practicing for a year and a half, and he had been practicing for 20 years. He was adamant about SLR as a strengthening exercise. I tried to discuss that SLR we mostly working on hip flexion (of course isometric of 3/4 quads) which he graded 5/5. Essentially he just did not want to hear any of my rational and flew off the handle about knee extension having the highest MVC (although some studies show the squat with highest MVC). The patient was fine with my alterations however the issue came when the primary PT went against everything I talked to the patient about and went back to his old program.
