Document Summary
Who does this affect: the pitcher with a lax shoulder who toes-out a bit much. Increased force at shoulder during cocking phase: gymnast with hip pain secondary to a lordotic spine, cross country runner with anterior knee pain, volleyball player who can"t spike anymore. Important to assess static posture: observe body from all angles. Improved by use of plumb line or screen: significant variability, only obvious asymmetries should be considered, everyone is a little bit different, only huge differences are significant. Anatomical plane: sagittal plane, flexion/extension, frontal axis, walking, squatting, overhead press, frontal plane, abduction/adduction, side flexion, inversion/eversion, transverse plane. Vertical sagittal plane alignment: back of ear, middle of shoulder, middle of greater trochanter, back patella, front of malleolus. Anterior/posterior (coronal) assessment: head tilted, eyes unequal, shoulders unequal, scapulae unequal, trunk flexed to one side, unequal distance from body to arm, hips, knees and malleoli unequal from side to side.
