Assessment Flashcards
Pronation distortion syndrome (arch of the foot is excessively turned inwards and becomes flattened as well as the internal rotation of the thighs, the knees become adductued - moving towards the body) shortened muscles
Gastrocnemius, soleus, peroneals, adductors, IT band, hip flexor complex, biceps femoris short head
Pronation distortion syndrome lengthened muscles
anterior tibialis, posterior tibialis, glute max, glute med, vastus med, hip external rotators
Lower crossed syndrome shortened muscles
gastro, soleus, adductors, hip flexor complex, lats, eretcor spinae
Lower crossed syndrome lengthened muscles
anterior tibialis, posterior tibalis, glute max, glute med, transversus abdominis, internal obliques
Upper crossed syndrome shortened muscles
upper traps, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, lats, teres major, subscapularis, pec major, pec minor
Upper crossed syndrome lengthened muscles
deep cervical flexors, serratus anterior, rhomboids, middle traps, lower traps, teres minor, infraspinatus
Davies test
assesses upper extremity stability and agility
Shark skill test
assesses lower extremity agility and neuromusc control
Bench press test is an assessment of…
estimates 1-rep max on overall upper body strength of pressing musculature
What does a squat test help determine?
Estimates 1-rep squat max and overall lower body strength
Push-up test is an exercise to assess …?
measures muscular endurance of upper body, primarily pushing muscles
LEFT test is an exercise to assess…?
assesses agility, acceleration, deceleration, and neuromusc control
Excessive forward lean overactive muscles (through core/midsection, not arms!)
soleus, gastro, hip flexor complex, abdominal complex
Excessive forward lean underactive muscles
glute max, erector spinae, anterior tibialis
Low back arches overactive muscles
hip flexor complex, erector spinae, lats
