Introduction The HUR hip and knee concept is designed to be used as a therapeutic modality in several hip and knee based disorders using the HUR’s Natural Transmission method. The Natural Transmission Method is a resistance strength training method based on pneumatic technology. The method allows for resistance to be adapted in response to the muscle’s own force production, regardless of the speed of moveme nt. An intelligent technology system for automated reporting, close to zero starting load, 100 g/1 kg increments in resistance, range limiters and additional support with connected outcome measures to document the effectiveness, enables the user to start rehabilitation early and safely, whatever the hip or knee disability. The HUR hip and knee concept helps the rehabilitation professional to provide best practice of exercise-as-medicine, based on the latest international treatment guidelines, enabling the earliest return to daily life and activity. 61
