What is the potential biomechanical dx for lateral epicondylosis?
Posterior deltoid weakness
What is the potential biomechanical dx for hamstring strain?
Tight hamstring
Weak gluteal musculature
What is the potential biomechanical dx for metatarsal fx?
Supinated foot
What is the potential biomechanical dx for athletic pubalgia?
Weak core muscles
Tight hip girdle
What is the potential biomechanical dx for Shoulder impingement w/ rotator cuff strain?
Periscapular weakness or inhibition
What is the potential biomechanical dx for patellofemoral syndrome?
Quad & glut weakness/inhibition
Overpronation
What is the potential biomechanical dx for repetitive ankle sprains?
Weak peroneals
Proprioceptive dyfxn
What should all “pre-rehab” programs address?
Strength
Flexibility
Endurance
Describe the wind up phase of throwing
Start: pitcher initiates motion
Stop: max knee lift of the lead leg when ball removed from glove
Few injuries during this phase
Describe the early cocking/stride phase of throwing
Stride leg and hip/knee of pivot leg extend toward batter propelling body into stride
Throwing shoulder ABD/Ext/ER into “semicocked position”
Which shoulder muscles are used during the early cocking phase?
SA & trap protract & upwardly rotate scapula
Middle deltoid ABD
Supraspinatus positions humeral head
Describe the late cocking phase of throwing
Max shoulder ER
Amount of ER correlates with speed of ball
What are the dynamic stabilizers of the anterior shoulder?
Long head of the biceps
Subscapularis
Pec major
what are the static stabilizers of the shoulder?
Glenohumeral ligaments
Capsule
Labrum
What are common injuries during the late cocking phase of pitching?
Anterior instability Internal (posterior-superior) impingement Type II SLAP lesion Articular surface rotator cuff tears Bicipital tendinopathy Ulnar collateral ligament injury
Describe the acceleration phase of throwing
Shoulder moves from 175 deg ER to 90-100 deg IR at ball release
Shoulder ABD fixed at 90 deg
What determines arm position in vertical plane?
Trunk lateral flexion
What does hanging or dropping elbow result in?
Reduced pitch velocity
Risk of rotator cuff or UCL injury
Describe the deceleration phase of throwing
Eccentric muscle force of posterior shoulder girdle to decelerate rapid IR
Start: ball release
Stop: arm reaches 0 deg IR
Describe the final phase of throwing
Passive phase
Body catching up with throwing arm
What are common injuries from deceleration phase of pitching?
Posterior instability
Isolated rotator cuff tears
SLAP lesions
How does the gait cycle change with increase speed?
Stance phase decreases
Double limb support not present with running
How is foot strike with slower running and walking?
Heel to toe
What happens to foot strike with increase speed?
Forefoot strike with lowering heel to ground
Sprinting: forefoot
What is the entry or catch phase of swimming?
hand entry into the water until beginning of backward movement
What is the pull phase of swimming?
hand in vertical plane of shoulder
What is the push phase of swimming?
Hand below shoulder & pushes through water until its exit at greater trochanter
What is the recovery phase of swimming?
Aerial return of hand
Which muscles contribute to propulsion phase of swimming?
ABD/ER move to ADD/IR
Major: pec major & lat dorsi
Minor: SA, subscap, teres major
What is a common injury with breaststroke?
Medial knee injury with inc valgus load
MCL sprain
Medial plica/synovitis
