ATSI Manual Info Flashcards
SFL Common Indicators Statement
The SFL, along with the SBL, mediates movement in the saggital plane. When it malfunctions it acts to create forward movement (flexion) or to restrict backward movement (extension).
SFL Common Postural Patterns (Red Flags)
- Ankle plantar flexion limitation (excessive dorsiflexion)
- Knee hyperextension
- Anterior pelvic tilt
- Anterior pelvic shift
- Anterior rib and breathing restriction
- Anterior tilt in rib cage
- Forward head posture
General SFL Questions
Generally where is the SFL closed/open?
Where are the body segments pulled down in front?
SFL Strategies
- Bring Lift and vitality into the tissues of the SFL
- Open the roots of the Front Arm Lines
- Session integration
Session 1: SFL A
-Differential metatarsals
Pes Anserinus (Say grace before T)
Sartorius, Gracillus, Semintendinosus
Session 2: SBL Goal 1
Grounding, standing on your own two feet
SBL Goal 2
Deepen your touch and connection with the client
SBL 3:
Saggital balance via primary and secondary curves
Primary Curves
Cranial, thoracic, sacral, heel
secondary curves
Cervical, lumbar, knees, arches
SBL Common Indicators
Where are the body segments pulled down in back?
Notes on SBL
SBL is cardinal line that primarily modulats posture and movementin the saggital plane, either limiting forward movement (flexion) or when malf, exaggerating or maintining excessive bakcward movement.
Common SBL Postural compensations
Ankle dorsi limit
Anterio shift of heel
Knee hyper extension (hams/gastrocs locked long, adhered to knee)
Posterior pelvic tilt
Post pelv shift
Sacral nutation
Increased spinal lordosis (short extensors)
Posterior tilt ribcage
Suoccip limit- upper cervival hyperextension
ANtrior shift of occiput on atlas
