NeuroFascial Patterning: Assessing Movement

Goals & Objectives:

Course Goals:

This course is intended to instruct the professional on assessing the neuromyofascial network to identify compensatory patterns and areas of altered joint mechanics.

Professional Objectives:

1. Identify  changing role of fascia
2. Identify causes of structural/mechanical dysfunction
3. Identify neurological compensations
4. Identify posture as an active movement
5. Recognize common muscles that lead to postural deviations
6. Identify  the incorporation of visual inspection findings as part of posture assessment
7. Differentiate the use of active and passive movements
8. Identify the anatomy and function of the anterior and posterior neuromyofascia
9. Identify areas of dysfunction during hip hinge assessment
10. Recognize application of joint examination and findings
11. Recognize components and function of deep anterior and lateral lines
12. Identify areas of dysfunction during high step assessment
13. Recognize application of joint examination and findings
14. Identify areas of dysfunction during overhead reach assessment
15. Recognize application of joint examination and findings
16. Recognize components and function of anterior/ posterior functional lines
17. Identify areas of dysfunction during axial rotation assessment
18. Recognize application of joint examination and findings

Criteria for Completion:

A score of 70% or more is considered passing.  Scores of less than 70% indicate a failure to understand the material and the test will need to be taken again until a passing score has been achieved.
