Q

Inline lunge procedure

A

One foot with toes at the xero mark, right heet should be at measurement placement (from tibial tuberocity), dowel is along the spine and touches the back of head, upper back and tail bone. (Whatever foot is in front, that side’s hand is on your lower back), client decends into lunge with their knee in the middle of the board and touches, before returning back to starting position

38

A

Hip knee and ankle mobility and stability issues, functional patterning issues

43
Q

inline lunge: loss of balance

A

Hip, knee and ankle mobilitu and stability, functional patterning issues

44
Q

Inline lunge exercises if client scores a 0 or 1

A

lunges, running, prowlers, sled pushes. (squats and deadlifts is ankle mobility was a failure)

46
Q

Inline lunge exercises if client scores a 3

A

47
Q

common mistakes of inline lunge

A

In the starting position feet should be in a straight line. If the client cannot get into this inline position, they do not have the ability to get in the proper starting position and they have a score of 1

48
Q

Shoulder mobility purpose

A

Tests shoulder mobility

49
Q

Shoulder mobility procedure

A

Measure the clients hand from the wrist crease to the longest digit. Have client stand shoulder width apart, and put thumbs inside a fist. During movement, put right fist overhead and down your back as far as possible while also taking the left first up your back as far as possible. Hold for a second so I can measure but don’t try to “creep” your hands closer after first placement.

50
Q

Shoulder mobility clearing test

A

Put one hand on shoulder and lift elbow up, ask for pain, do on other side, if no pain, cleared to start shoulder mobility test

51
Q

Shoulder mobility: fists are past 1 and 1/2 length hand or more

A

shoulder mobility issues, tight pecs, tight lats, weak lats

56
Q

Active straight leg procedure

A

Have client lie down, place dowel under knees, palms facing up, with one leg remaining straight and knee in contact with the board, raise the other foot as high as possible. Find halfway spot between illiac creast and mid patella and place dowel upright (this is what we want the client to clear) and we judge based on the position of the malleolus.

57
Q

What we are looking for in active straight leg
