Rehab Load Progression Curve
A rehab load progression curve plots weekly increases in resistance or impact—with planned holds and deloads tied to pain and function tests.
A rehab load progression curve charts how sets, resistance, or impact rise across weeks—usually stair-stepped, not linear. Tendons and bone lag muscle; curves include hold weeks and deload micro-cycles after flares.
Pair external load with symptom scores and single-leg function tests.
Common questions

Why include hold weeks on the curve?
Connective tissue adapts slower than muscle; a plateau week lets capacity catch up without pretending calendar time equals tissue readiness.
