Trivia Questions Quiz On Core Stabilization Training In Rehabilitation!

Psoas
-Closed chain vs. open chain functioning
-Works with erector spinae, and deep abdominal wall to balance anterior shear forces of lumbar spine
-Can reciprocally inhibit gluteus maximus, multifidus, deep erector spinae, internal oblique and transverse abdominus when tight

Gluteus medius
-Frontal plane stabilizer
--Weakness increases frontal and transverse plane stresses (patellofemoral stress)
-Controls femoral adduction and internal rotation
-Weakness results in synergistic dominance of TFL and quadratus lumborum

Gluteus maximus
-Hip extension and external rotation
-Eccentrically hip flexion and internal rotation
-Decelerates tibial internal rotation with TFL
-Stabilizes SI joint
-Faulty firing results in decreased pelvic stability and neuromuscular control

Hamstrings
-Concentrically flex the knee, extend the hip and rotate the tibia
-Eccentrically decelerate knee extension, hip flexion and tibial rotation
-Work synergistically with the ACL to stabilize tibial translation

All muscles produce and control forces in multiple planes

Program
-Systematic
-Progressive
-Functional

Endurance
-Erector spinae performance
-Athlete is prone with hands behind head and spine extended 30 degrees
-Measure ability to sustain position with goniometer
--Utilize axilla and table for frame of reference
-Test performed for time

Power
-Backwards, overhead medicine ball jump and throw
-Assessment of total body power production

Postural Considerations
-Core functions to maintain postural alignment and dynamic postural equilibrium
-Segmental deficit results in predictable dysfunction
--Serial distortion patterns
---Structural integrity of body is compromised due to malalignment
---Abnormal forces are distributed above and below misaligned segment
-Work to maintain alignment
