By: Amanda Palumbo

Kinesiology Section 5

12:15-1:30 Tuesday and Thursday

Demographics:

Name: Jeff Scheer

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Height: 75 inches and 190.5 cm

Weight: 95 kg and 210lbs

BMI: 26.2

Physical Goals:

  • To maintain an athletic body type.
  • The health component he wants to work on is muscular strength, muscular endurance and a little cardiovascular endurance.
  • Currently exercises 3-4 days a week for an hour each day

Review of Physical History:

  1. Medical Conditions:
  2. 1 previous injury
  3. Concussion
  4. Has no current injuries
  5. Played football and ran track
  6. Currently plays recreational sports like flag football and participates for about one hour
  7. Current occupation is bartender/server which may affect his lower back due to constant standing, walking, and bending.
  8. Influences:

Jeff Scheer is currently active and has physical goals that he is maintaining by exercising 3-4 days a week for 60 minutes each day. He has no previous injuries that could impact his movement however; his occupation could affect the kinetic chain. He constantly stands and walks for hours at a time, if he is not moving or walking properly it can affect his whole body. He mentioned his lower back could be affected by his occupation which means it may start from lower parts of his body. For example the way he steps. My suggestion would be to build work on the core. Also I suggest working the shoulder girdle muscles to help with posture. If you have good posture it could decrease the stress on lower back.

  • Hamstrings could become weaker.
  • The ligaments and tendons in the knee could become weaker and cause knee problem. Problems with the knee could potentially affect the Hip and spine.
  • A potential problem could be with walking. The hip and knee could be strengthened by stretching to reach the normal range of motion. The hamstrings and quadriceps could become weak.
  • Also it could affect the spine if one side is weaker. Activities could be limited because they might cause pain in knee, hip, and back.

All of the postural needs are normal expect for the acromioclavicular joint. The right side is slightly higher. This could mean overactive right levator scapula and upper trapezius. It could also mean an underactive right lowertrapezius. His goals are to keep an athletic body type and work on muscular endurance and strength. With everything in alignment it should be easy to achieve his goals. The only thing he may need to make sure he works on his exercising his lower trapezius and try to stretch his right levator scapula and upper trapezius.

On the Anterior view the right knee and right foot appear to be not aligned. The right foot is slightly turned out tovalgus. The right Soleus, the lateral gastrocnemius, and biceps femoris could be over-active. The right leg medial gastrocnemius and medial hamstring (semitendinosus) could be under-active. The right soleus, the lateral gastronemius, and biceps femoris could be stretched because they need to be lenghted because they are too tight. They also may need to be inhibited to prevent the muscle from contracting when they should be involved in certain movements like the over-head squat. The right leg medial gastrocnemius and medial hamstring (semitendinosus) need to be strengthened.

On the Sagittal view there is a slight forward lean. The rectus abdominus, the soleus, and hip flexors could be over-active; they need to be stretched or inhibited. The erector spinae and tibialis anterior may need to be strengthened. There is also a slight excessive lumbar lordosis. The hip flexors and latissiumusdorsi could be too tight and over-active and could need to be stretched. The anterior core muscles and hamstrings could be under-active and need to be strengthened.

On the Posterior view there is an asymmetrical shift to the left. The adductors on the left side may be over-active and need to be lengthened by being stretched. The left side gluteus medius may be under-active and need to be strengthened.

Exercise and stretch recommendations:

Exercises:

  • Seated knee curls
  • hip extensions using a resistance band
  • bridges
  • standing calf-rises
  • straight leg side plank

Stretches:

  • soleus
  • Stand with one leg in front of the other, with both feet pointed forward. Put hands on a wall or similar for support. Thenkeep back knee bent, with the heel pressed to the floor and push your hips forward, while pressing your back heel to ground
  • Standing lateral tilt
  • Childs pose
  • Lateral over-head stretch

Corrective Exercises:

Single leg dead lefts: - To strengthen the hamstrings, gluteus medius, and the core

- Trains Gluteus Medius to help with asymmetrical shift in over-head squat

Single Leg Bridge on stability ball:

Lateral walks with resistances:

-To strengthen the gluteus mediusto reduce the risk of valgus as seen in postural assessments and to stabilize the pelvis

Core exercises to strengthen anterior core muscles seen in postural assessment and over-head squat

  1. Pelvic tilt should be done first to put spine in neutral position
  2. Pelvis tilt with single leg lifts, leg cycles, double leg lowering, and reverse curls, feet to sky.
  3. Superman exercise to train the erector spinae which was seen to be under-active in the over-head squat

Barbell Shrugs: to train the Upper Trapezius which appeared to be weak in postural analysis and over-head squat
