Module Four Assignment - prf 751

PRF 751-G01 02/21/2021 Scenario: Client:  Jamie, 35 year old female.   Occupation:  Real Estate Agent Current Activities:  Runs 3x/week, 3 -5 miles Assessment Results:    Static Posture - Rounded shoulders, low back arch  Overhead Squat - Knees cave in (valgus), low back arch, rounded shoulders  Single Leg Squat - Both knees cave in (valgus), weight shift to the left Goals:  Improve flexibility, decrease low back discomfort, decrease occasional knee pain 1. What muscles are overactive?  (name specific muscles) The upper and lower crossed syndrome found through Jamie’s static postural assessment and the muscle imbalances found in her dynamic posture assessments suggest that the following muscles are overactive:  Upper Trapezius  Levator Scapulae  Sternocleidomastoid  Scalenes  Lastissimus Dorsi  Teres Major  Subscapularis  Pectoralis Major/Minor  Gastrocnemius  Soleus  Hip Flexor Complex o Tensor Fascia Latae o Rectus Femoris o Psoas  Adductors Complex: o Adductor Magnus o Adductor Longus o Adductor Brevis  Erector Spinae  Biceps Femoris (Short Head)  Vastus Lateralis The weight shift to the left suggests that the long head of the biceps femoris and the gluteus medius on the right side are overactive in addition to the muscles listed above. 2.  What muscles are underactive?  (name specific muscles)

The upper and lower crossed syndrome found through Jamie’s static postural assessment and the muscle imbalances found in her dynamic posture assessments suggest that the following muscles are underactive:  Deep Cervical Flexors o Longus Coli o Longus Capitis  Serratus Anterior  Rhomboids  Mid-Trapezius  Lower Trapezius  Anterior/Posterior Tibialis  Gluteus Maximus/Medius  Transverse Abdominis  Internal Oblique  Vastus Medialis Oblique  Hamstring Complex o Biceps Femoris o Semimembranosus o Semitendinosus  Multifidus  Transversospinalis  Rotator Cuff o Teres Minor o Infraspinatus o Subscapularis 3.  Provide an appropriate  Phase 1 Warm-up  that includes specific muscles and flexibility exercises.
