PNF of the Pelvis Flashcards
(19 cards)
positioning of the pt and therapist
same as the scapula
why do we treat the pelvic girdle
evaluate trunk strength, coordination, mobility
facilitate LE fxn
facilitate rolling
close associating b/w LS and pelvis
pelvic patterns
same as the shoulder girdle
where should the pelvic being positioned –> anterior elevation
in midline
vertical position
what should we do with the scap –> anterior elevation
set into a neutral lordosis
what is the key –> anterior elevation
locking the core stabilizers immediately
fxnal uses –> –> anterior elevation
swing phase of gait (beginning)
rolling forward
what should we make sure of –> posterior depression
beginning position is correct
true anterior elevation
no trunk rotation or extension
fxnal uses –> posterior depression
terminal stance
jumping
posterior elevation has
much smaller motion
much less excursion
what are we trying to stimulation –> posterior elevation
quadratus lumborum
what dont we wanna do –> posterior elevation
cause compression of LS
fxnal uses –> posterior elevation
walking backward
preparing to kick a ball
what should we focus on –> anterior depression
lengthening the quadratus
fxnal activities –> anterior depression
going down stairs
loading response
what do we have to remember
do not change the amount of pelvic tilt w/ pelvic pattern
what muscles perform pelvic motion
trunk muscles
irradiation
the spread of increased force of a response that occurs when a stimulus is increased in strength and frequency
this ability is inherent to the NM system
irradiation –> broken down
if you resist one part –> other parts will be called in for stability
