Dynamic Postural Assessment


Dynamic Postural Assessment

Dynamic posture assessment is opposite than static, because body is in at any moment during a movement patter, we can see how the body is moving so it is a kinetic chain in movement with dynamic motion (Vesci et al., 2007). 

Gait: Treadmill Walking 

 

                                             Posterior                                 Lateral


 Excessive pelvic rotation                                               Feet flatten / front foot turn slightly out 

                                                                                                                Anterior  

Feet are flat what can suggest peroneal complex, lat. gastrocnemius, biceps femoris - short head, these muscles can be overactive and underactive muscles can be anterior and posterior tibialis, gluteus medius and med. gastrocnemius. Second thing the shorter leg - front leg goes out this can suggest overactive muscles as soleus, lat. gastrocnemius, biceps femoris (short head) and TFL.
Lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC) Excessive rotation may be caused by overactive muscles as external obliques, adductor complex and hamstrings. Muscles which may be underactive are: gluteus maximus and medius, intrinsic core stabilizers. Head is going forward what can point overactive muscles as upper trapezius, levator scapulae and sternocleidomastoid. Deep cervical flexor may be underactive (Clark et al., 2014).

Transitional Movement Assessments

Obraz
Transitional Movement Assessments can assess dynamic flexibility, core strength, balance and overall neuromuscular control. It is very strong assessment to check lower extremity movement patterns as knee valgus which is due to by decreased hip abductor and hip external rotation strength (Ireland et al., 2003), increased hip adductor activity (Vesci et al., 2007), and restricted ankle dorsiflexion (Bell and Padua, 2007). Single - Leg Squat Assessment Hip Hikes/ Torso Rotates Outwards Lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC) hip hikes may be a cause of overactive muscles as quadratus lumborum (opposite side of stance leg) TFL- gluteus minimus the same side as stance leg. Underactive muscles as adductor complex - same side as stance leg and gluteus medius - same side. We can observe in the upper body outward trunk rotation muscles  which are overactive are: internal oblique - opposite side of stance leg, external oblique the same side as stance leg and pirifor...

Corrective Exercise

Obraz
Corrective Strategies for Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex Impairments (LPHC). The client has problem with lower back pain. She has pelvic tilt and one leg shorter, which means that side is stronger, because it works harder to manage every movement. LPHC is an area of the body which is very important. It has a huge impact on the structures of both upper and lower body. This part of our body contains twenty-nine to thirty-five different muscles that are attached to the lumbar spine or pelvis (Clark et al.,2014). The most important muscles which are associated with the LPHC are: gastrocnemius/soleus, adductor complex, hamstring complex, hip flexor, abdominal complex, erector spinae, intrinsic core stabilizers, latissimus dorsi, tensor fascia latae/ IT band and gluteus medius and maximus. LPHC dysfunction can lead to dysfunctions in the other parts of the body (Powers, 2003).   Her upper body has some dysfunction as well which can lead to shoulder and upper – extremity injuries, c...
