Posture, Movement and Performance Assessments Flashcards
(15 cards)
Collapsed arch of the foot; also known as flat feet.
Pes planus
The five areas of the body that are monitored during movement assessments and exercise: foot/ankle, knees, lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, shoulders, and head.
Kinetic chain checkpoints
Postural syndrome characterized by flat feet, knee valgus, and adducted and internally rotated hips.
Pes Planus distortion syndrome
Postural syndrome characterized by anterior pelvic tilt and excessive lordosis of the lumbar spine.
Lower crossed syndrome
The normal curvature of the cervical and lumbar spine regions, creating a concave portion of the spine.
Lordortic//Lordosis
Postural syndrome characterized by a forward head and protracted shoulders.
Upper crossed syndrome
Knees collapse inward
Knee valgus
Knee arches outwards
Knee varus
A movement assessment designed to assess dynamic posture, core stability, and neuromuscular control of the whole body during a squatting motion.
Overhead squat assessment (OHSA)
An assessment that challenges the upper extremities and trunk during a pushing movement to identify movement impairments and potential muscle imbalances.
Pushing assessment
A performance assessment designed to estimate the one-repetition maximum of the squat exercise.
Squat strength assessment
A performance assessment designed to test maximal jump height and lower extremity power.
Vertical jump assessment
A performance assessment designed to test maximal jump distance and lower extremity power.
Long jump assessment
A performance assessment designed to test lateral speed and agility.
Lower extremity functional test (LEFT)
A performance assessment designed to test lateral acceleration, deceleration, agility, and control.
Pro shuttle (5-10-5) assessment
