Objectives

1. Identify the role of neuromuscular movement assessment.
2. Assess conscious(cortical) and unconscious(cerebellar) proprioception testing for the patient/client as it relates to human movement.
3. Compare and contrast the difference between mobility restrictions and neuro/somatic restrictions (Brain vs.Tissue).
4. Integrate the “3 Movement Pillars” and how they relate to human movement control and performance (Brain (Neurological/Psychological), Midline, Mechanical).
5. Evaluate movement assessment techniques to identify faulty motor patterns in fundamental movements (e.g.squatting).
6. Critique and demonstrate proper use of compression floss bands, foam rollers, kinesiology tape (as a motor control tool) and mobility balls for movement limitations.
7. Screen and develop movement with the use of exercise bands, agility and conditioning equipment as well as body weight correctives with appropriate progressions and regressions.
8. Integrate the use of digital motion analysis to objectively capture human movement.

Outline

Movement Specialist Certification: Conscious Movement

3 Pillars to Human Movement 
Brain (Neurological/Psychological), Midline (Fascia), and Mechanical (Motor Movement)

• Conscious awareness (proprioception) as it relates to human movement 
• Members of the three movement zones:
  • Ankle Complex
  • Hip Complex 
  • Shoulder Complex 

Screening concepts, and highlight evidence supporting selected screening approaches for the three movement zones of the body.

• Brain Screen 
  • Threat Assessment (Psychological Readiness Questionnaire) to evaluated patient/client’s behavioral/motivational attachment to movement. 
    • Personality Screen to evaluate the person’s learning style to provide the coach or practitioner with the necessary information to best create behavior change. 
    • Evaluate Conscious Human GPS System - Conscious neurological assessment using 2-point discrimination testing to assess quality of body representation. 
      • Foot Complex 
      • Hip Complex
      • Shoulder Complex
• Midline Screen – Screen fascia’s contribution to planar movement function or dysfunction.  
  • Planar movement quality assessment 
    • Modified Bunkie Test
      • Foot Complex 
      • Hip Complex
      • Shoulder Complex
• Mechanical Screen – Static/Dynamic Human Movement Screening 
  • Differences of mobility, motor control, and stability (Movement Pyramid)
  • Joint by joint approach to identify mobility or stability limitations in movement

Brain Screen

• Workshop Psychological Readiness Questionnaire to assess threat appraisal of the three movement zones
• Workshop The “True Colors Personality Screen” to assess the personality type of the individual as it relates to their “coachability” 
• Perform evaluation of Conscious Human GPS System (2-point discrimination) to measure body representation of the three movement zones

Midline (Fascial) Screen 
Workshop Modified Bunkie Test

• Prone Plank
• Supine Plank
• R + L Side Plank 
• Prone Plank - Feet Elevated (Shoulder Dominant)
• Prone Plank - Elbows Elevated (Hip/Ankle Dominant) 
• 3 Point Plank - Upper Body Emphasis (unilateral eval control Shoulder Complex)
• 3 Point Plank- Lower Body Emphasis (unilateral eval control Hip Complex)

Mechanical Screen 
Introduce and demonstrate the importance of a safe, effective and efficient screen of a fundamental movement pattern (Deep Body Weight Squat).

• Demonstrate and Practice Subjective Squat Screening
  • Foot Complex
    • Mobility (lacks ankle DF) (soft: foam roll/ball/floss) (joint: floss/ex bands)
    • Stability (planar leak) (agility/conditioning equip or bands)
    • Motor Control (balance issue or bilateral imbalance) (vibe/floss)
  • Hip Complex 
    • Mobility (lacks flexion/pelvic tilt) (soft-bands, foam roller) (joint-banded mobes/floss)
    • Stability (planar leak) (plank progressions/BW/RNT w bands)
    • Motor Control (timing/awareness issue) spiky ball/vibration/pacinian upregulation
  • Shoulder Complex
    • Mobility (lack of shoulder flexion with OH squat)
    • Stability rib flare
    • Motor Control (eliminate mobility and stability, then this is the culprit)
• Demonstrate and Practice Objective Squat Analysis - Digital Motion Analysis Technology demonstration and comparison. 
  • Use digital technology to evaluate joint mechanics and performance of squat
    • Foot Complex
      • Dorsiflexion/Plantarflexion
    • Hip Complex 
      • Flexion of Hip, Flexion of Trunk
    • Shoulder Complex
      • Flexion with OH Squat
• Subjective vs objective analysis results

Improve Squat Performance: Use data collected from Brain, Tissue and Mechanical Screens
Demonstrate and practice corrective strategies to remediate identified dysfunctions of the three movement centers

Foot Complex Interventions:
Triage primary impairment 

• Mobility Impairment, initiates mechanical intervention
• Stability Impairment, initiates tissue intervention
• Motor Control Impairment, initiates brain intervention

Select appropriate tools mobility balls, exercise bands, foam rollers, compression flossing bands, kinesiology tape, agility and conditioning equipment
Re-Screen Squat to assess change 

• Utilize results from the screen to intervene:
  • Mobility Intervention
    • Mechanical problem needs mechanical solution
    • If not Mechanical look to Tissue
    • Mobility Tactics – Neurologic Foam Rolling, Targeted Compression Floss Bands, Vibration techniques.  
  • Stability Intervention 
    • Tissue problem needs tissue solution
    • If not Tissue, look to Brain 
    • Stability Tactics – Exercise bands isolated exercise
      • Isotonic, Eccentric, Isometric use of exercise bands
