Screen, Steer, Move: Movement Patterns

The key to improving movement quality starts with a high-quality screening tool. If you don’t understand a person’s dysfunction, you will never be able to give them appropriate interventions.

But, screening is just the beginning. Bringing 20 years of movement analysis experience to the program, Mitch Hauschildt, will provide insight for how to screen and enhance movement quality.

This step-by-step process will result in improved clinical outcomes and increased performance in your client population.

You’ll learn exactly why, how, and when to screen your clients and patients and how to correct their faulty movement patterns.

Identify and correct the core issue faster – watch Mitch Hauschildt for Screen, Steer, Move!

Program Information

Objectives

Analyze concepts related to corrective exercise
Diagnose faulty movement patterns based on a simple assessment tool
Implement corrective exercises that can be used to improve faulty fundamental movement patterns
Examine how to progress and regress these corrective exercises by changing body position, load, and/ or stability to fit clients of all levels of fitness and abilities
Prescribe movements that are specific to the client or patient’s specific needs and goals
Assess how to fit these exercises into a larger exercise program

Outline

Functional Movement Demands Quality

Properly assessing via movement screening
Causes loss of function
- Lack of optimal neurodevelopment
- Trauma
- Learned behaviors
Commonly undervalued progressions

SCREEN: Evaluating movement

Quickly identify mobility and stability restrictions
4 simple movements for a successful evaluation
Multiplanar approach to movement dysfunction
Simple documentation process to simplify corrective strategies

STEER: Goals of Corrective Exercise

Optimize motor control, joint centration, and overall stability
Improve local tissue quality and control
Integrate local strategies into global movement patterns

MOVE: Corrective Strategies You’ll Use Frequently

Targeted interventions based on what is identified in screening
Spectrum: ADLs --> sport activities
Interplay between structure and function
Evaluation of common movement patterns:
- Straight leg raise
- Rotational Push up
- Lunge with split leg stance
- Squat with rotation

The Injured Shoulder: The Strategies, Testing & Criteria to Determine When to Return to Sports

Although we have been dealing with shoulder injuries in sports for 40 years, there is no validity or consensus on criteria for return to sports (RTS). The session will provide a practical guide for how testing should be performed, what tests and criteria should be used, and why these criteria need to be established using a Functional Testing Algorithm (FTA). Don’t miss this crucial session that will provide you with a step-by-step path for determining when to return to sports!

Program Information

Objectives

Evaluate strategies that can be used for assessing the injured shoulder
Formulate a checklist of testing (functional testing algorithm) for patient evaluation and progression
Construct tests of the shoulder with psychometric properties that can be used for clinical reasoning for criteria for return to sport
Develop selected treatment interventions, when appropriate, for the patient's progression through the rehabilitation program

Outline

Knee Injuries: A Step-by-Step Guide for Deciding When to Return to Sports

Patients with ACL reconstructions are often anxious to return to sports…however, when to return is not always obvious and often second-guessed. This recording will provide a blueprint of how to effectively make this decision with confidence. You’ll learn how testing should be performed, what tests and criteria should be used and why these criteria need to be established using a Functional Testing Algorithm (FTA). This is a can’t-miss recording with practical takeaways you can apply right away!

Program Information

Objectives

Evaluate the importance of and concept of a Functional Testing Algorithm (FTA)
Formulate an FTA that applies to the participant's patient load
Construct specific tests with psychometric properties that can be used for clinical decision making
Develop selected treatment interventions, when appropriate, for the patient's progression through the FTA
