Episode 1: The Kinetic Chain approach to Shoulder Elevation
/
RSS Feed
Kinetic chain shoulder rehabilitation incorporates the kinetic link biomechanical model and proximal-to-distal motor-activation patterns. This approach focuses on movement patterns rather than isolated muscle exercises. Patterns sequentially use the leg, trunk, and scapular musculature to activate weakened shoulder musculature, gain active range of motion, and increase strength.
The learning outcomes are as follows:
- Understanding how the causes of shoulder injury can differ across different patient groups.
- Review current practice, with regard to assessment and rehabilitation of shoulder injuries.
- Improve patient outcomes with treatment programs that are sport/activity specific to the patient.
