Presentation Transcript

  1. Screening identifies areas of deficit that • Increase your risk of injury • Reduce your performance What is the purpose of screening?

  2. Core Stability • Measured using a single leg ¼ squat • Looking for maintenance of level pelvis, knee and foot in a straight line, minimal trunk lean • Rated as good, average and poor Running Screening

  3. Hamstring Length • Lying on back, lift leg up, keeping knee straight • Optimal is greater than 70° hip flexion • Don’t allow pelvis or lower back to move • Keep foot in plantargrade Running Screening >70°

  4. Hip Extension Range • Perch on edge of bed/table and roll back taking both knees up to chest • Lower down one leg at a time, leg should drop below the horizontal • Optimal greater than 5° extension Running Screening > 5°

  5. Dorsiflexion Lunge • Knee to wall, keeping heel on ground • Measure distance from big toe to wall – 10-15cm optimal • Knee must track over top of foot • Pelvis square Running Screening 10 – 15 cm

  6. Single Leg Calf Raise • On one leg perform as many calf raises on one leg • 20 reps optimal • Maintain weight over big toe • Look for cheating with pelvis, body sway, bending/straightening Running Screening
