I am an adult with osgood-schlatters disease and mild patella alta. i need an exercise to strengthen my leg muscles. suggestions, plz?

Straight leg raise: In general, you want to strengthen the quadriceps with as little pressure on the patellafemoral joint and tibial tubercle as possible. forces in that area are maximized when knee is flexed. A physical therapist could take you through the complete program, but straight leg raises is one of the major components of it; strengthening the quads while minimizing force across tibial tubercle.
