Challenges of Remote Coaching for The Postural Assessment Components Discussion Postural Assessment and Overhead Squat lab

Reflect on your work during the postural assessment and overhead squat labs.

1. For the postural assessment components, what were the greatest challenges of remote coaching?

2. What are the postural assessment checkpoints?

3. For the overhead squat assessment, what were the challenges of remote coaching?

4. For the overhead squat assessment, what were the strengths of the remote coaches?

5. Explain how you would cue a client into the overhead squat remotely considering your recent experience. Give a script below with your word choices. Posture and Movement
• Every movement needs a base from which
to generate (and accept) force.
– Better known as posture.
• Posture is the alignment and function of all
components of the HMS at any given
moment.
• Allows for proper neuromuscular function
and optimal movement.
Posture
• Proper posture ensures that the muscles
of the body are optimally aligned at the
proper length–tension relationships
necessary for efficient functioning of
force–couples and joint motion
(neuromuscular efficiency).
• Neuromuscular efficiency is the ability of
the nervous system to properly recruit all
muscles in all planes of motion.
Posture
• Without proper postural
alignment, we set the body up
for a series a traumas known as
postural distortion patterns.
– Predictable patterns of
muscle imbalance.
Muscle Imbalance
• Condition in which the lengths
of muscles are altered at a joint.
• Poor posture, repetitive
movement, and a lack of daily
movement are considered
contributing factors.
Postural Distortions
• Predictable Patterns of Muscle Imbalance
– Pronation Distortion Syndrome
– Lower Crossed Syndrome
– Upper Crossed Syndrome
Pronation Distortion Syndrome
•
Characterized by
– Feet
• Flattened or externally rotated.
– Knees
• Adducted and internally rotated.
– Tight
• Gastrocnemius, soleus,
peroneals, adductors, iliotibial
band (IT band), hip flexors, and
biceps femoris (short head).
– Weak
• Anterior and posterior tibialis,
vastus medialis (VMO), gluteus
maximus and medius, and hip
external rotators.
Lower Crossed Syndrome
• Characterized by
– Anterior pelvic tilt
– Tight
• Gastrocnemius, soleus,
hip flexors, adductors,
latissimus dorsi, and
erector spinae.
– Weak
• Gluteus maximus and
medius, anterior tibialis,
posterior tibialis,
transvers abdominis, and
internal obliques.
Upper Crossed Syndrome
•
Characterized by
– Shoulders
• Protracted (rounded)
– Head
• Forward
– Tight
• Latissimus dorsi, pectoralis
major and minor, upper
trapezius, scalenes, teres major,
subscapularis, levator scapulae,
and sternocleidomastoid
– Weak
• Serratus anterior, rhomboids,
rhomboids, mid/lower trapezius
and deep cervical flexors,
infraspinatus
Movement Observations
• Dynamic postural observations (looking at
movement) are often the quickest way to
gain an overall impression of a client’s
functional status.
• Should relate to basic functions such as
squatting, pushing, pulling, and balancing.
• Can also be incorporated as a first
workout for your client.
Movement Observations
•
Overhead Squat Assessment
– Designed to assess dynamic
flexibility on both sides of the
body as well as integrated
total body strength.
•
Position
– Client stands with feet
shoulder-width apart and
pointed straight ahead. The
foot and ankle complex
should be in a neutral
position.
– Have client raise his or her
arms overhead, with elbow
fully extended. The upper
arm should bisect the ears.
Movement Observations
• Overhead Squat Assessment
– Movement
• Instruct client to
assume a comfortable,
controllable squat
position.
• Have the client repeat
the movement.
