Mitch Hauschildt – Screen, Steer, Move: Quickly Identify and Correct Faulty Movement Patterns

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

Advanced Corrective Strategies for the Difficult to Break Movement Patterns

• Reverse patterning
• Reactive neuromuscular training
• Conscious loading
• Resisted exercise
• Movement over muscles
• Progressive overload
• How to mix simplicity with complexit
• Incorporating specificity for each patient
