|
Functional efficiency |
The ability of the neuromuscular system to perform functional tasks with the least amount of energy, decreasing stress on the body structure. |
|
|
Altered neuromuscular efficiency |
Occurs when the kinetic chain is not performing optimally to control the body and all three plans of motion. |
|
|
Altered arthrokinematics |
Altered joint motion caused by altered length-tension relationships and force-couple relationships that affects the joints and causes poor movement efficiency. |
|
|
Relative flexibility |
The human movement system's way of finding the path of least resistance during movement. |
|
|
Postural Distortion patterns |
Common posture malalignments and muscle imbalances that Individuals develop based on a variety of factors. |
|
|
Pronation Distortion syndrome |
A postural distortion syndrome characterized by foot pronation (flat feet) and adducted and internally rotated knees (knock knees). |
|
|
Lower crossed syndrome |
A postural distortion syndrome characterized by an interior tilt to the pelvis (arched lower back). |
|
|
Upper crossed syndrome |
A postural Distortion syndrome characterized by a forward head and rounded shoulders. |
|
|
Symmetry |
Proportion and balance between two items or two sides. |
|
|
Kyphotic Curve |
Outward curvature of the Thoracic spine by which the spine is bent forward. |
|
|
Transitional movement assessment |
A type of assessment that evaluates dynamic posture. |
|
|
Overhead squat assessment |
A transitional movement assessment designed to assess dynamic flexibility, core strength, balance, and overall neuromuscular control. |
|
|
Knee valgus |
The process where the knees move forward and in, known as "knock knees". |
|
|
Single-leg squat assessment |
A transitional assessment performed on one leg to assess dynamic flexibility, course strength, balance, and overall neurological control. |
|
|
Scapula winging |
The scapula protrudes from the back in and abnormal posture. |
|
|
