Functional Assessment

Front 1

How do you perform a star excursion balance test

Back 1

Create star gride on floor

Standing on weak leg

Use good leg to reach out and touch all the points

Front 2

Muscle involved in coordination

Back 2

1. Stimulate the activity

2. Antagonist inhibited

3. Others stabilize

Front 3

Coordination components

Back 3

1. Activity perception

2. Feedback & feedforward

3. Repetition

4. Inhibition

Front 4

Three things to increase to make an activity harder

Back 4

1. Speed

2. Force

3. Complexity

Front 5

Amortization phase of plyometrics

Back 5

Transition of msucles from eccentric phase to concentric phase

Needs to be very SHORT (23ms)

Front 6

Foot position Durning plyometrics

Back 6

Should land mid foot and quickly roll to toes to push off

Front 7

Progression of plyometrics

Back 7

1. Jumps in place

2. Standing jumps

3. Multiple jumps and hops

4. Bounding

5. Box drills

6 depth jumps

Front 8

RTP criteria

Back 8

Full ROM, strength, joint mobility

Functional testing

objective clinical exam

Subjective information (CONFIDENCE!)

Front 9

Basic functional activites

Back 9

Squats

Forward step up

Step downs

Lateral step ups

Front 10

Pre stage befo e doing a step exercise

Back 10

Be able to fully weight bear in single leg stance

Front 11

Step up step down, which leg leads?

Back 11

Injuries steps up first

Injuries steps down first (forces quads to control with eccentric contraction)

Front 12

Step down strengthens

Back 12

Gluts and quads

Front 13

Lateral step up strengthens

Back 13

Quads (isolates!)

Front 14

If clinic flexes trunk when doing a lateral step up what is working?

Back 14

Hamstrings rather than quads!

Front 15

When doing lateral step up client feels it more in lateral hip than quads

Back 15

Using glut med more

Front 16

Factors that influence PFPS

Back 16

1. Weak quads

2. Weak hips and trunk control

3. Tight hamstring

Front 17

Stretch shortening principle

Back 17

Theory behind plyometrics

Increased muscle elasticity (putting msucles on stretch) combined with the adaptation in the GTO and muscle spindles will help increase power

Front 18

Contraindications for plyometrics

Back 18

1. Inflammation

2. Instability

3. Recent postoperative condition

Front 19

7 principles of rehab

Back 19

1. Avoid aggravation

2. Timing (start ASAP safely!)

3. Compliance

4. Individualization

5. Specific sequencing

6. intensity (challenging but doable)

7. total person

Front 20

Two main objectives of rehab

Back 20

1. Keep the whole person as healthy as possible

2. Rehab the injury itself

Front 21

Order of the rehab components

Back 21

1. Flexilbity and ROM

2. Strength and muscle endurance

3. balance

4. Coordination

5. Agility

6. Functional activity

Front 22

4 principles of strengthening exercises

Back 22

1. specific exercises

2. No pain

3. Attainable goals

4. progressive overload
