Posture, Steve Middleton

Product Description

Posture and Movement Dysfunction – What is Normal Posture? – Basic Postural Assessment

Have clinicians gone too far in dismissing static posture assessments in favor of movement screening on intake? Steve Middleton thinks so. In this lecture, he explains his position, covers the basic postural assessments he reviews and the common dysfunctions that go along with postural positions he often sees.

“Movement can mean many things. Typically we focus on the large, osteokinematic movements such as shoulder flexion or abduction for throwing and hitting or hip and knee flexion and extension for squatting and jumping. Posture tends to be viewed as a static position. Yet a newer term, dynamic posturing, looks at posture in a different manner.” ~Steve Middleton
