“Physical Therapists are the best suited clinicians to assess and treat the movement system” says Washington University (School of Medicine in St. Louis) Department of Physical Therapy Professor Shirley Sahrmann. Physical therapist and Assistant Professor, Dr Sylvia Czuppon (@czuppons), asks the questions. Timeline 0:30 mins - What differentiates elite athletes’ movement patterns from that of ‘normal’ people and of those with abnormalities? 2:00 mins - Why physical therapists are best suited to keeping the movement system functioning optimally 3:08m - The concepts of relative stiffness, relative flexibility – Professor Sahrmann’s Movement System Impairment approach 4:30m - How to perform muscle length assessment 5:45m - The spring-like behavior of muscles – a key contributor to abnormal movement patterns 6:40m - Hypertrophy of muscles increasing the stiffness of muscles and thus increasing passive stiffness: “It’s not just about muscle shortness” 8:00m - The role of microinstability and abnormal accessory movements contributing to pain. Practical examples including a case of tight Tensor Fascia Lata illustrating the concept that the body takes the path of least resistance 10:30m - Clinical reasoning in a patient with groin pain.
