Objectives
Defining the GAP
Discuss pain’s effect on movement
Identify movement indicators as a means of a
common language
Bridging the Gap…
Integrate quality, movement‐based training
Treat the WHOLE person
Form a Rehabilitation to Performance Continuum
Form a multidisciplinary team
What is the GAP?
• Isolated vs. integrated
• Pain‐free vs. functional
• Movement‐based approach vs. impairment
based
• Fitness/Performance vs. rehabilitation
• Injury prevention vs. treatment of injuries
• Common language
Global, comprehensive, movement‐based approach
• Insurance

Movement Specialists….
• Need to understand :
– Effect of injury and pain
– Kinetic linking
– Force production
– Regional interdependence
• Need to have a:
– Movement‐based approach
– Common language

Why do people sustain non‐contact
injuries? 2‐17
Predictors of Injury:
• Previous Injury Ekstrand et al 2006, Murphy et al 2003
• Asymmetries Baumhauer et al 2001, Myer et al 2008, Nadler et al 2001,
Plisky et al 2006, Rauh et al 2007, Soderman et al 2001
What happens if we only get our
patients pain‐free? 1
Impairment focused?!?
Normalize Enhance performance
Pain distorts motor
control
High‐threshold strategies
Movement changes after injury!!!
• Decreased proprioceptive input
• Movement patterns are lost due to:
– imbalances
– asymmetrical movement
– improper training
– incomplete recovery from injury

We first need to understand
movement

Fascial System18

continuous.” Tom Myers
• Three dimensional matrix
• Dynamic structural support

Nervous System
Communication Network 19
• Sense changes in either the internal or external
Sensory environment
• Analyze and interpret the sensory information to
allow for proper decision making, producing the
Integrative appropriate response
• Neuromuscular response to the sensory info
Motor
Reflexes 20
• Primitive: Involuntary response to specific
stimuli
• Postural: Allow adaptation of posture to
changes in environment
• Locomotor:
MOVEMENT
Compression and distraction
Neurodevelopment
• Fundamental activities of the human body
revolve around simple and basic patterns of
human movements
• Developmental sequence that starts at infancy
and develops through childhood
(rolling crawling walking)

Motor Milestones
• Mobility?
Motor Milestones 20
• Newborns move their head with their eyes
• 3‐5 months
– Move their eyes I of their head
– Lift their head up with control
– Weight bear on their arms
to see toys
– Initiate rolling
(Postural reflex)
Motor Milestones
6‐8 months :
Sit upright without support
Crawling
(Locomotor reflex)
7
5/15/2013
Motor Milestones 20
• 10 to 12 months: develop the “S” curve
• 12-15 months:
– Stand briefly alone without support with
high guard
– Deadlifting
• 21 months‐24 months:
Deep squat to play
Stand on one foot with support briefly
Motor Planning
Neurodevelopment initiation of motor
planning
Children learn to balance themselves
through feel
• Gravity begins to pull
their ribs down, and their
limber frames begin to
develop stability
Motor Planning
• Motor plans are developed around your
physical limitations
• Sound movement BEFORE performance
enhancement
• Pain distorts motor
control
8
5/15/2013
Motor Learning
• Cognitive phase
• Associative phase
• Autonomous phase
Stability/motor control: ability to maintain posture
and/or control motion
Coordination, sequencing, and
timing
Static and dynamic
Central Nervous System (CNS)
organizes functional patterns

Functional Performance Pyramid
Skill Adapted from
Gray Cook 2004
Performance
Movement
We know what FUNCTIONAL is, so
what is DYSFUNCTIONAL?
• Poor movement competency=compensation
• Poor durability
• Microtrauma
• Weakest link
• Inefficiency
10
5/15/2013
Establish a Movement Baseline
• If you could predict if you were 2‐3x more
likely to get injured , wouldn’t want to know?
• How can we determine effectiveness of our
treatment plans and training programs if we
have nothing objectively measure?
• Screen foundational movements for a
proactive approach to injury prevention
Movement Indicators 1
• Functional Movement System:
– Selective Functional Movement Assessment:
Evaluation
– Functional Movement Screen: Checks risk
– Y Balance Test: Measures ability
Skill
Performance
MOVEMENT
Adapted from Gray Cook 2004
Functional Movement Screen 1
• Reliable and reproducible screen
• Identifies
Physical imbalances, limitations, and
weaknesses
Potential cause and effect relationships of
deficits and microtrauma/ chronic injuries
• Improves fundamental movement patterns
with simple corrective exercises
• Great communication tool!!

Preparing your patients/clients for the
game of life and sport
• Screen, test, assess

Computer Man
Posture
• Foundation for all movement
• Good posture=good habit=positive well‐being
• Ideal alignment=optimal movement
“Maintaining or restoring precise
movement of specific segments is the
key to preventing or correcting
musculoskeletal pain.”‐Sahrmann
13
5/15/2013
Posture
• Pillar Strength: Athletes Performance
– Foundation for kinetic linking
– Dynamic coordination of stability
– Production or transfer of force from LE to UE
via the pillar
• Proper stance for optimal movement
• Safely and effectively dissipate forces that
move through the body
Breathing
• Movement dysfunction is evident when breathing
and postural control are compromised
• Cornerstone of optimal health and well‐being
• Optimal motor program
First movement
• What’s normal???
• 12‐15 breaths/minute (adult)
20,0000 breaths/day!!!
Breathing
Poor Breathing Proper Breathing:
Increased sympathetic Increased parasympathetic
activity activity
Increased neural drive to Improves recruitment
global muscles patterns of the core for
Inhibits local muscles improved postural control
Adopts a high‐threshold Optimizes respiratory
strategy function
Decreases risk of injuries,
particularly upper quarter
Harmony , timing ,
sequencing, rhythm,
coordination
14
5/15/2013
Breathing
Mobility
• Mobility first???
• Quality stability is driven by quality
proprioception
• If limitations in mobility exist,
quality proprioception is not
possible
• Gain mobility, then train stability
Self‐Myofascial Release19
Improves flexibility, function, performance
Reduces injuries
Apply deep pressure into myofascial
restrictions to influence kinetic chain
Autogenic inhibition of muscle spindle
Search and Destroy!
15
5/15/2013
Stability/Motor Control
• Stability does not equal strength
– Example: Tubing Shoulder ER
• Stability is reflex‐driven
• Neuromuscular and postural
control
• Sequencing and timing
• Static before dynamic
High‐Threshold Strategy
Inner Outer
Respiration Postural stability
Continence Resists external load
Segmental stability Movement production
Energy transfer
Neuromuscular Activation
• Core activation
• Activity‐dependent
• Problem‐specific
16
5/15/2013
Corrective Exercise
• Progressions and regressions following the
neuromotor developmental sequence
• Removing the dysfunctional pattern will
improve stability/motor control
• Don’t correct the movement, correct the
primitive things that came before that
• Eliminate counterproductive activities
Rolling Patterns
Corrective Exercise
• Practice makes perfect, right?
• Do a few things really well!
• Highest quality of motion with every
repetition within a ROM that you can exhibit
highest neural control
• Otherwise, the info is
INEFFICIENT!
17
5/15/2013
Corrective Strategies
• Soft Tissue Mobilization Active Isolated
Stretching PNF
• Movement patterning
• Movement preparation
• Active rest
• Can correct in 2‐3 weeks
• Accountability: Homework!
Proper Execution
• Perception
• Verbal cueing???
• RNT
• Self‐limiting positions
• Quality vs. quantity
• Reps????
