Training/Injury: Functional Assessment of Movement

You will perform at least 3 different functional movement tests on a classmate (or yourself if pictures can be taken) to test and analyze their/your movement imbalances. For this project you will be required to do the following:

1. perform at least 3 tests
2. take pictures of each of the tests (include both their imbalances and the proper way for a total of 6 pictures)
3. for ONE of the tests, outline what the subjects weakness(es) would be while playing/performing a specific sport movement and thus what injuries they may be more prone to get
4. For the one test/movement from #3, provide a sample strength exercise routine for that the subject should perform in order to improve on their weakness

You will put all of the above information into a P.Point which you will present to the class.

In addition to the Athletic Therapy Today journals in the classroom, there are articles printed outlining some of the screening methods. Be sure to use caution when using the web.
