Product Detail

Day 1

1. Identify the role of neuromuscular movement assessment in conscious movement.
2. Assess conscious (cortical) and unconscious (cerebellar) proprioception testing for the new patient/clients as it relates to human movement.
3. Compare and contrast the difference between mobility restrictions – neural vs. somatic restrictions (brain vs. tissue) in conscious movement.
4. Integrate the “3 Movement Pillars” and how they relate to conscious human movement control and performance (brain (neurological/psychological), tissue, 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 and mobility balls for limitations in conscious movement.
7. Develop and appraise conscious 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 conscious human movement.

Day 2

1. Examine the role of neuromuscular movement assessment in automatic movement pattern.
2. Assess automatic/unconscious awareness of human movement (breathing and gait) by screening the balance and coordination systems.
3. Compare and contrast the difference between mobility restrictions – neural vs. somatic restrictions (brain vs. tissue) during automatic movement patterns.
4. Integrate the “3 Movement Pillars” and how they relate to automatic human movement and performance (brain (neurological/psychological), tissue, mechanical).
5. Demonstrate movement assessments that identify the ability to associate and dissociate segments of the body as they relate to gait/breathing movement patterns.
6. Apply, practice and employ corrective strategies that involve the ability to associate (integrate) and dissociate (mobilize) different segments of the body.
7. Critique and demonstrate proper use of compression floss bands, foam rollers and mobility balls for limitations in automatic movement pattern.
8. Develop and appraise automatic movement with the use of exercise bands, agility and conditioning equipment as well as body weight correctives with appropriate progressions and regressions.
9. Introduce and integrate the use of digital motion analysis to objectively capture automatic human movement.
