#kneevalgus

Snuggle. I believe she was full aware that big changes were in her future. She would have a home to call her own. LIttle did I know, my home was about to be owned by this dog. She was here to stay, but her name had to go.

Snuggle, to be confused with a lazy nap loving puppy - This dog

Episode 35: "HIP SERIES (6/6) performing alternating dynamic lunges" A very popular and common exercise performed during training sessions is the dynamic lunge. It is a very functional movement due to the end position (half-kneeling) is used very often when performing daily activities. It requires hip and trunk strength and stability in all planes of movement, thus a very functional movement! It also requires neuromuscular control and hip and pelvis dissociation due to having to let your hips flex while minimizing pelvis and spine motion. Depicted are two correct repetitions performed followed by two common mistakes we typically see; a rep lacking hip stability -> knee valgus and another rep lacking trunk stability -> excessive trunk flexion. It is easy to fix these common neuromuscular control errors by utilizing a mirror in front of you and/or a mirror to the side of you for a visual cue to achieve optimal performance of the exercise. Hope you all enjoyed our hip series! Please comment other series you would be interested in and we just might answer your calling! #lunges #lunge #kneevalgus #ACL #legday #legs ______________________________________________ The Prehab Guys: Optimizing human performance and functional capacity, promoting longevity, and keeping your movement system in tune one post at a time.

Episode 31: "HIP SERIES (3/6) - Neuromuscular Control" While weakness of the hip abductors is often times the culprit for medial knee collapse, a lack of motor control can also be the source. This is especially prevalent among higher end athletes who demonstrate medial knee collapse with functional activities. In this case, the athlete more times than not has more than adequate strength, yet they fail to utilize and demonstrate the neuromuscular control necessary to engage the hip abductors during tasks. Too see if this is the case, give the athlete visual, verbal, or manual cues to facilitate hip abductor activation. Here, we demonstrate a resistance cue with a theraband. The theraband provides tension to drive the knee inward, into hip adduction. This slight resistance is enough to facilitate the hip abductors to fire during the single leg squat. *NOTE: This can also be used as a strengthening exercise once the athlete demonstrates good neuromuscular control...it's quite hard as you can tell! #glutmed #kneevalgus #medialkneecollapse #gluts ______________________________________________ The Prehab Guys: Optimizing human performance and functional capacity, promoting longevity, and keeping your body in tune one post at a time.
