Course Objectives
On completion of the course, the participant will be able to:
-
Differentiate between the historical musculoskeletal interpretation of core strength and a neuromuscular, systems approach coined “core strategy”.
-
Describe the influence of the optimal muscle recruitment order on postural control for a reaching task.
-
Label the 4 components of the anticipatory core team.
-
Describe the interaction of the four anticipatory core components to synergistically prepare for movement.
-
Describe 3 posture types using 1 rib cage and 1 pelvic positional descriptor for each.
-
Identify 4 alignment screening tools to guide therapeutic exercise selection.
-
Demonstrate 2 intervention techniques to optimize anticipatory core recruitment.
-
Describe 3 reactive core postural synergists and the role of each in optimizing postural control in functional movement patterns.
-
Integrate breath mechanics as a gateway for postural control for 3 transitional movements (ex-sit to stand).
-
Apply the components of intervention programs, addressing the interaction of sensory systems and core stability in several diagnoses common in pediatrics (CP, hydrocephalus, ASD, toe walking and torticollis).
