Furthermore, I work a part time physical labor job at the eagles stadium where I do a lot of heavy lifting and walking around for 9 hours 3 days a week.Do you experience any joint pain?Sometimes on occasion I experience joint pain in my left elbow joint. I also experience some joint pain in my right patella possibly from the hyperextended MCL.Do you experience muscle stiffness?I experience a lot of stiffness in my neck muscles like levator scapulae and semispinatus capitus. I also frequently experience stiffness in my hamstrings and deltoids.Do you have any previous injuries affecting any movement?I have had 2 injuries I have had a hyperextended MCL and a strained semispinatus capitus. These injuries cause minor movement problems.If so did these injuries hinder any movement capabilities?These two injuries hindered a lot of comfortability in some movement once fully healed but not to the point where it was a problem.Do you experience difficulty with certain exercises?Yes, I experience pain on some exercises like squats and standing barbell press.If so which movements challenge you and cause problems?During my workouts, I frequently stretch all of the neck muscles due to excessive stiffness. Furthermore, standing barbell shoulder press causes problems with my neck and thoracic spine. Also during squats my knee gets some tenderness on increased weight. Also flat barbell bench press affects my humerus, radius, and ulna meet to form the elbow.During the squat exercise do you experience abduction of the knee?Yes, I experience slight knee abduction due to my underactive medial hamstring that needs stretching and strengthening.During squat exercise do you experience excessive forward lean?I do not experience excessive forward lean due to the balance of Soleus, Gastrocnemius, Hip Flexor Complex, Abdominal Complex, (rectus abdominus, external oblique) Anterior Tibialis ,Gluteus Maximus, Erector Spinae, working together in the kinetic chain and creating muscle synergy.During the pulling assessment do you experience low back arch?I do not experience any low back arch because my intrinsic core stabilizers are balanced.During the pushing assessment do you experience shoulder elevation?I do not experience shoulder elevation due to my stabilized trapezius and levetor scapulae are balanced.Movement Goals: As a goal I would like to increase the flexibility in my lower extremities.As another flexibility goal I would like to increase the flexibility in my deltoids due to frequent use.Continuing to improve back musculature to keep a upright and perfect posture for future benefit.SummaryI am a 190 pound 73 in male who works out extremely intense and vigorously. The way that I move is very important for me to be at the top of my game for my future in fitness. Furthermore, my job at the eagles stadium is a physically taxing job where im always moving and displaying basic movements like squats and deadlift types of physical labor. During my time in sports I hyperextended my MCL and strained my semispinatus capitus in my anterior neck.Sometimes on occasion I experience joint pain in my left elbow joint. I also experience some joint pain in my right patella possibly from the hyperextended MCL. Also,I experience a lot of stiffness in my neck muscles like levator scapulae and semispinatus capitus. I also frequently experience stiffness in my hamstrings and deltoids. As of today, I have already begun to work on my movement goals. I spend 15 minutes a day working on improving my flexibility in my hamstrings, deltoids, and the muslces making up my anterior neck through static and dynamic stretching. Furthermore, 2 times a week I use self myofascial release on my hamstrings, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, soleus, and latissimus dorsis. Even though ,I have a long road ahead of me to become more comfortable in the basic movements of everyday life. I have weaknesses and I have strengths. My strengths have been tested in the overhead squat assessment, the pushing assessment, and the pulling assessment in forward lean, shoulder elevation, and low back arch. All of my muslces during these assessment movements are all balanced. There is always room for improvement but those are my strengths in particular movement skills.Range of motion assessment-5048258826500Neutral position- Frontal view-141922552895500Flexion Sagital View-145161020129500Neutral positionSagittal view-799465107569000-809625-89535000-733425300926500ExtensionSagittal view14547851524000-1358900387096000Right Lateral flexionFrontal viewLeft lateral flexionFrontal viewLeft RotationTransverse view Right RotationTransverse-7715255778500Neutral position of glenohumeral adduction and abduction177228530924500-154305023368000Glenohumeral abductionGlenohumeral abduction leftrightFrontal viewFrontal view251507625463500-81915022987000Right glenohumeral flexionLeft glenohumeral flexionSagittal viewSagittal view2860158-73364700-722748-80746900Nuetral position left Nuetral position rightSagittal viewSagittal view-723900312420002859700000GlenohumeralGlenohumeral External rotation leftExternal rotation rightSagittal viewsagittal view3590615116958GlenohumeralInternal rotation rightSagittal4000020000GlenohumeralInternal rotation rightSagittal28587704889500-72326552070Glenohumeralinternal rotation leftsagittal viewNeutral positon-648911-54646900Sagittal view-6502407937500Acetabulofemoral flexion rightSagittal view-64897018669000Acetabulofemoral nuetralSagittal view-64897029210000Acetabulofemoral flexion rleftSagittal view2551430-6604000Neutral position left Neutral position rightFrontal viewFrontal view-680011-72258500-62801525971500146113512192000Internal rotation left Internal rotation Right Frontal view-171323036830000125301717589500External rotation rightExternal rotation leftFrontal viewFrontal viewRight straight leg raiseSagittal view-722630-73406000-1905000403987000-1905000219075000-190563552705000Left straight leg raiseRestricted Sagittal viewThomas test leftSaggital viewThomas test rightSagittal view-393700-48958500Sit and reach test starting position-39370020828000Sit and reach ending position6’’joint nameMotion DegreesPersonal degreesMotiondegreesPersonal degreesCervical spineFlexion6060extension7575rotation8080lateral flexion4535Glenohumeralflexion170170external rotation9085internal rotation7060abduction170170hipflexion110110extension30internal rotation3535external rotation4540Summary and analysisIn all of my photos, I clearly have issues with my hamstrings being tight and underactive. I am almost at a full degree under especially in the straight leg raise. As stated by one of my goals I wanted to improve my hamstring flexibility. By improving this I will be able to prevent future injuries in my cervical spine and prevent synergistic dominance from occurring. Furthermore, by improving the flexibility of the lower half of my body I can increase performance in all aspects of physical skill. All of these ranges of motion can all be assessed by utilizing the overhead squat assessment. The upper portion of my body has been proven by the pictures to me pretty flexible. There is always room for improvement especially in my glenohumeral joint. These can also all be assessed by the overhead squat to see if shoulders fall forward from being underactive. Furthermore, my left lateral cervical flexion is quite restricted and will need stretching. Also, I seem to be compensating my internal rotation left is due to my tight internal rotators. Overall, my main goal from posting these pictures is to become more flexible to prevent injury and tightness that comes with aging. Each and every range of motion has a vast number of relevance in all sports movements not to mention just general everyday movements.1908314561368Posterior overhead squat assessment00Posterior overhead squat assessmentPostural analysis and Overhead Squat assessment213095065157Posterior overhead squat assessment squatting position00Posterior overhead squat assessment squatting position-8159758763000-92265511430000251847163802Overhead squat assessment sagittal view00Overhead squat assessment sagittal view2279654345940Overhead squat assessment sagittal view squatting400000Overhead squat assessment sagittal view squatting-1103630479107500-1127125584200002385391224624Frontal view overhead squat assessment.00Frontal view overhead squat assessment.-810895605155002520563131583Frontal view Overhead squat assessment00Frontal view Overhead squat assessment-951230196850002266122717606Right sagittal view overhead squat assessment00Right sagittal view overhead squat assessment-571500112141000`2401294313912Right sagittal view overhead squat assessment00Right sagittal view overhead squat assessment-5854701778000The overhead squat assessment is the single most important way to see what muscles need improvement. In my photos a couple of things need improvements. I have a mild case of genu valgum. This can be fixed by strengthening my Qaudriceps,Hamstrings, and gluteus muscles. This could potentially cause problems with my hip flexors and hamstrings while engaging in exercise. I require further static stretching of the lower extremities.The posture while in squatting position is normal in the squat position. In the pictures there is Nothing excessive like external rotating knees or falling arms. Furthermore, I still require plenty of static and dynamic stretching. From the posterior view the norm of degrees is 90 degrees and I am hitting 90 degrees. Excessive lordosis is seen the sagittal view of overhead squat. This is due to the overactivity in my hip flexors. Also, the underactivity in hip extensors/ weak abdominals. This is one of my goals to gain flexibility in lower extremities. In the frontal view my right externally rotated tibia and supinated right foot. This is due to my many years playing soccer and other sports. I can fix this by static stretching and strengthening the anterior tibialis. Lastly, all of these imbalances can be fixed through focus and really giving an attempt to improve these imbalances before injury occurs.1335819718406 Walking Posterior Heel strike right00 Walking Posterior Heel strike rightGait Assessment13989052437765Walking Posterior Mid-stance right00Walking Posterior Mid-stance right-214630214122000-150495698500-239395172720006540574295 Walking Posterior toe off right00 Walking Posterior toe off right-3505208890000-38100166370Running posterior heel strike right400000Running posterior heel strike right-12630152940050022238829155Running posterior mid-stance right 00Running posterior mid-stance right -135255016129000174128255077Running posterior toe off right400000Running posterior toe off right1512736-659958Walking posterior heel strike left4000020000Walking posterior heel strike left-215237-70866000-21082041948100015107484346990Walking posterior toe off left400000Walking posterior toe off left15127361518699Walking posterior mid stance left4000020000Walking posterior mid stance left-215900152273000-176530-1460500-1659779519976700-1725930221742000974045557962Running posterior toe off left4000020000Running posterior toe off left974042480807Running posterior mid-stance left4000020000Running posterior mid-stance left192820-397565Running posterior heel strike left4000020000Running posterior heel strike left-1809752495550088210-103366Walking sagittal heel strike00Walking sagittal heel strike-152654016256000140694226888Walking sagittal mid-stance400000Walking sagittal mid-stance-1595120711200077995164521Walking sagittal toe off400000Walking sagittal toe off208722-222637Running sagittal heel strike4000020000Running sagittal heel strike-293370-54483000-158242011239500-1397084455Running sagittal mid-stance4000020000Running sagittal mid-stance894531979874Running sagittal toe off4000020000Running sagittal toe off-156908512128500Summary and analysis Gait is a very important topic in the science of kinesiology. It displays the phases in which a human walks and runs. In the above photos I have photos of myself walking and running from posterior and sagittal views. There are some imbalances that are very noticeable. In the posterior walking view upon heel strike with foot in the supination position and my tibia is externally rotated. However, due to my slight supination in the foot I am free of potential ankle rolls. Posteriorly, dorsiflexion is able to be viewed with a normal range of motion of 10 degrees being achieved. The posterior toe off view my foot moves back in to the supination position as displayed in the photo. Furthermore, my leg slightly rotates out before initial leg swing. My leg is in a very slight rotation due to my tight piriformis. Static stretching is needed in all aspects of my lower body as displayed by my goals. One of the most noticeable imbalances in my gait is my foot needs to be pronated in the posterior mid-stance . However, my foot is neutral this is due to underactive tibialis. From the posterior view my hip seems to be stabilized by my balanced gluteus maximus. Static stretching needs to be utilized to fix this problem. Another imbalance is while running my foot returns to the supination position and starts to externally rotate. However my leg has very slight external rotation and could use stretching to fix my piriformis. On my left side of my body at the posterior view seem to be balanced throughout my kinetic chain and gait. However, static stretching and myofascial release is going to need to be utilized on both sides of my body to keep flexibility balanced to prevent future postural imbalances.In the sagittal views everything seems to be of the norm in the degrees of range of motion like my dorsiflexion of 20 degrees, my plantar flexion of 45 degrees, and my knee flexion of 130 degrees. The only issue I see from this view is my stride length is short and could be lengthened by stretching. In the class of kinesiology my number one goal that was put in place at the start of class is to become more flexible in my lower body extremities. These photos are a clear indication that that goal is an important one.Corrective Exercises-94932530162500489364252730Saggital ab crunch00Saggital ab crunch-9937754254500-48514010477500384423244365Cobra stretch00Cobra stretch-4851408191500-484505191767300-485140571500011370379415Frontal dynamic arm circles00Frontal dynamic arm circles-4857752103800-492125174307500-579120165100001828800131086Sagittal cable row00Sagittal cable row-57912013652500-29464096520000-7182402001391478101655Frontal Arnold press00Frontal Arnold press-429895278320500-42989519939000-2863858128000center0Sagittal back extension4000020000Sagittal back extension-286385181610001675612299924Sagittal static hamstring stretch right4000020000Sagittal static hamstring stretch right-4394202171700011710621335Sagittal static hamstring stretch left4000020000Sagittal static hamstring stretch left-77660534099500Analysis As my movement goals state I would like to improve my flexibility in my deltoids due to frequent use. Another goal was to improve my back musculature for future benefit. The exercises I chose to document include ab crunch, cobra stretch, dynamic arm circles, Arnold presses, cable row, and back extension. I specifically chose these exercises to improve my postural imbalances. In my previous pictures of the overhead squat assessment I have an excessive lordosis so I chose the ab crunch to strengthen my underactive rectus abdominis. Furthermore, I also did the cobra stretch which strengthens the spine and glutes and stretches the pectoralis major, deltoids, and rectus abdominis. By supplying myself with a strong core it allows me to be more functional in all other movements. As stated in the notes always work from the inside then out out. This being one of my weak points I plan on improving this greatly in the future months. One of my goals is also improving my deltoid flexibility with arm circles that dynamically stretches all muscles of the glenohumeral joint and portions of the shoulder girdle. Every human upper body movement mostly uses the glenohumeral joint for abduction, flexion,extension,internal rotation, external rotation,scaption, and horizontal abduction. The rotational Arnold press strengthens all muscles of the glenohumeral in one fluent motion. Another exercise that I performed is the Cable row to strengthen my back musculature through a pulling motion through a retraction motion. Lastly, one of my main problems was tight hamstrings so I engaged In a corrective static hamstring stretch. All of the exercises that I performed such as cobra stratch, crunch, Arnold press, seated row, and static hamstring stretch to name a few are very beneficial and should be performed with a 4-2-1 tempo for proper stabilization with strength exercises and a 15- 20 second hold on static stretches. I performed all corrective exercises with optimal mind muscle connection. ................
