Outline:

Explain the Importance of Co-contraction Muscle Recruitment as a Pre-functional Exercise

Three Components of Function: Mobility, Recruitment, and Stabilization

• Define clinical meaning of co-activation
• Early application of pre-functional recruitment

Review Current Research States Why Hip and Hamstrings Strengthening is the True Core of Lower Extremity Stabilization

• Techniques in open kinetic chain co-contraction
• True core exercises for the lower extremity
• Scapular muscle activation ratios
• Proprioception: the key to stabilization

Discuss Why the Word “Therapeutic” Should be Reconsidered for the Lower and Upper Kinetic Chains

• Protective exercise concepts for the upper extremity
• Application of short-arc exercises for the knee and shoulder
• EMG evidence of positional recruitment
• Incorporating evidence of the difference between scapular activation vs glenohumeral muscle activity

Description:

This session begins with the importance of pre-functional co-contraction muscle re-education. Questions that will be addressed include: Does true closed kinetic chain exercise really exist, or is it just a clinical term? Why is the role of the hamstring and hip abductor strengthening the basic core for lower-extremity rehabilitation?

Application of short-arc motion exercises for both the upper and lower extremities will be reconsidered. The presentation of these concerns should lead us to this conclusion: clinicians should to put the word “therapeutic” back into exercise.
