|
Balance |
When the body is in equilibrium and stationary, meaning no linear or angular movement |
|
|
Dynamic balance |
The ability to move and change directions under various conditions without falling |
|
|
Effects of joint dysfunction |
Joint dysfunction --> Muscle inhibition --> Joint injury --> Swelling --> Altered proprioception |
|
|
Importance of training the balance system |
To develop, improve, and restore the synergy and synchronicity of muscle firing patterns required for dynamic balance and optimal neuromuscular efficiency |
|
|
Levels of balance training |
Stabilization Strength Power |
|
|
Balance stabilization exercises |
Involve little joint motion. Designed to improve reflexive joint stabilization contractions
EX: single leg balance, single leg balance reach, single leg hip internal and external rotation, single leg lift and chop, single leg throw and catch |
|
|
Balance strength exercises |
Involve dynamic eccentric and concentric movement of the balance leg, through full ROM.
EX: single leg squat, single leg squat touchdown, single leg romanian DL, step up to balance |
|
|
Balance power exercises |
Designed to develop proper deceleration ability to move the body from a dynamic state to a controlled stationary position, as well as high levels of eccentric strength, dynamic neuromuscular efficiency, and reactive joint stabilization
EX: multiplanar hop w stabilization, single leg hop up with stabilization |
