Objectives

  • Define Function in the context of athletic movement

skills

  • To present and demonstrate five functional movement

the clinician can use in the office.

  • To provide value to data from these five functional tests

and how to apply it to the patient’s plan of care

Define Function

func·tion

  • 1. an activity or purpose

natural to or intended for a person or thing.

  • 2. perform

6

Antonyms of Function

Inactivity, idleness… Sit: to rest with the body supported by the buttocks, to remain inactive

7

Our Mission To Protect and Advance the Health and Well-being

  • f Children [people]…

The body is a motion machine; If it stops moving, it’s systems slow down: muscular, lymphatic, digestive and circulatory

8

  • Slouching is depressing (2012 SF State)
  • Poor digestion: squished organs is like stepping on a garden hose
  • Compression: Slumped sitting adds 175% more intradiscal pressure
  • vs. standing. Shallow breathing – diaphragm is a spinal stabilizer
  • Immobility leads to further immobility – we lose our S curve in our

spine and can’t absorb shock

  • Immobility leads to heart disease: the heart needs increased effort to

pump blood that pools in the lower body

  • So, Straighten up & MOVE

What Is Functional Testing? And Why you should do it?

  • Ability to move in multi-planar directions as assessed

via non-traditional testing.

  • Test provide qualitative and quantitative information
  • Activities in daily living
  • Building blocks of movement in context of life & sport
  • Relates to developmental mile stones in critical stages
  • f growth

How & Why Move

Afferent Input – joint position senses information Muscle Balance – agonist/antagonist, tight/weak Reflexive / Automatic Activation – ON/OFF, stabilize to mobilize Muscular Endurance – coordination of movement patterns, posture

Structure vs. Function

Functional Continuum Identify the Source vs. the Cause of symptoms Painful Limited Plan of care: training mobility vs. stability

Standing Dynamic Functional Positions

typically find an athlete in 1 of 3 positions when engaged with the ground

= = =

Test in these positions to test how stable and mobile they are so we know were to go in our training programs

20

Deep Squat/Overhead Deep Squat

  • Purpose

– Assess mobility of hips, knees, and ankles – Overhead reach for thoracic spine and shoulders

  • Procedure

– Position the client/athlete so that they are standing with feet shoulder-width apart. – Overhead squat: Hold the dowel so that a 90°angle is formed at bilateral elbows when the dowel is just above the head. – Have client press the dowel overhead until bilateral elbows are extended. – Instruct client to gradually descend into a squat position with bilateral heels on the floor and the dowel extended maximally overhead.

  • Analysis of optimal movement

– Upper torso parallel with tibia – Femur below horizontal – Knees aligned over feet – Down aligned over feet

  • Interpretation of movement faults

– Limited mobility – Strength deficit in quads or gluteals

Deep Squat

22

Single Leg Balance

  • Purpose

– Observe pelvic control for functional stability – Indicator of balance strategies – Single-leg stance indicative of mid-stance

  • Procedure

– Stand on one leg – Raise opposite hip to 45°/ knee to 90° – Arms at side

  • Analysis of optimal movement

– Look for excessive pelvic shift – Note pelvic unleveling – Excessive shaking or rotation of knee or ankle

  • Interpretation of movement faults

– Inhibition or weakness of lateral pelvic stabilizer – Over-dominance of hip medial rotators – Poor proprioception

Single Leg Squat

  • Purpose

– Assess Functional Strength – Assess Balance – Assess Dynamic Flexibility

  • Procedure

– Stand on single leg – Keep Trunk and Upper Body Upright – Squat down as far as possible

  • Analysis (Qualitative)

– Watch for excessive knee flexion – Note loss of balance or uncontrolled motions

  • Interpretation

– Poor Glute or Quad Strength – Poor Balance – Decreased Trunk Control

Single Leg Hop for Distance

  • Purpose

– Functional lower extremity test – as part of a Hop Test sequence as described by Noyes. Noyes FR, Barber SD, Mangine RE. Abnormal lower limb symmetry determined by function hop tests after anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Am J Sports Med. 1991; 19: 513– 51 – Assess overall single lower extremity power, balance and control as it relates to limb symmetry

  • Procedure

– Keep hand placement consistent – i.e. hands on hips, behind the back, free – Jump Horizontally as far as possible – Hold landing position for 2 seconds

  • Analysis

– Based on distance jumped – Determine limb symmetry – Quality is important Karyn Haitz, Rebecca Shultz, Melissa Hodgins, Gordon O. Matherson, J Ortho Sports Phys Ther 2014.

  • Interpretation

– Relationship between asymmetry and limitations in jumping/landing in healthy athletes have < 9% difference. – Mean values: Men 154.5 cm Women 121.2 cm

Hop for Distance Coaching Points

Hop Test Sequence

4 Hop Test Sequence:

  • Single-leg Hop
  • Timed Hop Over a 6-m Course
  • Triple Hop
  • Crossover Hop

28

Front Plank/Prone Bridge

  • Purpose

– To assess static/isometric trunk endurance and control

  • Procedure

– Prone on elbows – Elbows shoulder width apart – Feet in narrow base without touching – Elevate trunk so only forearms and toes are on the ground – Maintain shoulder, hips, and ankles in a straight line – Hold until fatigued, record time

  • Analysis

– Record time until athlete is no longer able to hold position

  • Interpretation

– Significant decreased time in those with back pain – Mean Values in seconds: – Clients without back pain = 72.5 s, Clients with back pain = 28.3 s (pain generated at 15 seconds)
