KNES 211 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Shoulder Girdle, Thoracic Vertebrae, Shoulder Joint
Document Summary
Chapter 7: postural assessments offers insight to. Tight or shortened muscles: movement screens: evaluate how posture impacts ability to move, measure clients symmetry against a plumb line, deviation 1: foot pronation/supination. Both feet should be able to face forward, toes aligned with feet: deviation 2: hip adduction. One hip may be higher than other: deviation 3: pelvic tilting, deviation 4: shoulder position and the thoracic spine. Scapular protraction and winging: deviation 5: head position. Five basic movements: bending and lifting movements (e. g. , squatting, single-leg movements, pushing movements, pulling movements, rotational movements. Bend and lift screen: objective: to examine symmetrical lower-extremity mobility and stability, and upper-extremity stability during a bend-and-lift movement. Hurdle step screen: objective: to examine simultaneous mobility of one limb and stability to the contralateral limb while maintaining both hip and torso stabilization during a balance challenge of standing on one leg.
