COMET Exercises for Arthritis - Phase 1
The goal of this first phase of COMET exercises is to work at getting the leg straight, and to work on getting a full bend to the hip and knee. You will learn to activate your quadricep muscles and how to generate a contraction of the quad muscles. These exercises should be done for 1-2 weeks. You may need a bit more time (maybe 2-4 weeks) working at these exercises before moving on to Phase 2, as the exercises that follow in subsequent phases build on the basic movements and muscle activation you will learn in this phase.

COMET Exercises for Arthritis - Phase 3
This phase is all about progressing the difficulty of the exercises and more difficult movements that use multiple joints. This also advances the strengthening of the hip. These exercises should be done for a 6-12 week period, but if you cannot do them on a regular or daily basis, and only do them 1-2 times/week, you may need to work on these exercises for 10-16 weeks.
