KangaTech set-up. a Hip abduction: for bilateral hip abduction testing, the participant will also be seated, with the knee flexed at 15° and lumbo-pelvic-hip complex flexed at 60°. The dynamometry pad will be positioned at the level of the lateral femoral condyles. b Knee extension: unilateral knee extension performed with participants seated, their knee at 45° flexion and lumbo-pelvic-hip complex at 60° flexion. The dynamometry pad will be positioned at the level of the lateral malleolus at right angles to the shank/tibia. Each thigh will be secured to the seat with a belt above the level of the surgical incision (> 10 cm above the supra patella border). c Knee flexion: unilateral knee extension performed with participants seated, their knee at 45° flexion and lumbo-pelvic-hip complex at 60° flexion. The dynamometry pad will be positioned at the level of the lateral malleolus at right angles to the shank/tibia. Each thigh will be secured to the seat with a belt above the level of the surgical incision (> 10 cm above the supra patella border). d Set-up alone at Flinders Private Hospital for use in this study
