final-posture Flashcards
lower crossed syndrom
- increased lumbar lordosis
- increased pelvic tilt
- tight hip flexors and thoracolumbar extensors
upper crossed syndrome
- rounded shoulders
- forward head
pronation distortion syndrome
excessive foot pronation
-knee internal rotation
Kinetic chain checkpoints
- feet/ankles
- knees
- lumbo-pelvic-hip complex
- shoulders and head
reason for overhead squat assessment
- structural alignment
- dynamic flexibility
- neuromuscular control
anterior things to look at in overhead squat
- foot turns out
- foot flattens
- knee moves inward outward
lateral things to look at in overhead squat
- excessive forward lean
- low back arches
- low back rounds
- arms fall forward
posterior things to look at in overhead squat
- foot flattens
- heal raises
- asymmetrical weight shift
muscle imbalances in single leg squat
- hip hike
- hip drop
- inward trunk rotation
- outward trunk rotation
purpose of deep squat
-used to assess bilateral, symmetrical, mobility of hips, knees and ankles
hurdle step purpose
assess bilateral mobility and stability of hips, knees aankles
in line lunge purpose
assess bilateral mobility and stability as well as ankle and knee stability
shoulder mobility purpose
assess bilateral shoulder range of motion combining internal rotation with adduction and external rotation with abduction
active straight leg raise purpose
assess active hamstring and gastric/soleus flexibility
trunk stability pushups purpose
assess trunk stability in sagittal plane
