Foundation, Form and Function: Foundation Concepts of Core Stability is organized by HomeCEU. This Course has been approved for a maximum of 3 Contact Hours.
Description:
Core stability is the new trend in the Rehab and Sports Industry but what is the actual core according to the new evidence? What are the anatomical integrations of muscle, fascia, neural and the emotional components that are involved in efficient trunk stability? Why are our patients tight, stiff or collapsing? This seminar is heavily evidence based on the latest studies of the trunk, core, global muscle group and the intimate association of the respiratory system. Being able to differentiate proper core facilitation from global muscle overuse is essential in accurate core training.
The Thorax is the center of trunk rotation and is important in transferring loads from the lower extremities and upper extremities through the various regions of the spine. It is a prime base for muscle and fascial connections that affect the cervical and lumbo/pelvic regions. The diaphragm within the Thorax, functions in posture and respiration. It's intimate connections, muscularly and neurologically with the lumbar spine, abdominals and pelvic floor and its ability to maintain intra abdominal pressure, are vital for spinal stability.
Course Goals:
This course is intended to instruct the professional improving mobility and stability of the trunk and improve mobility and strength of the core and trunk without overuse of the superficial system of the trunk.
Course Objectives:
• Recognize the anatomy of the inner core
• Identify the superficial system of muscle involved in trunk stability,
• Identify the function of the diaphragm as it relates to posture, muscular relations and stability of the spine
• List the four subsystems of spinal stability.
• Recognize fascial and neural length issues in restrictions of mobility of the body.
• Identify how to determine the length of quadratus lumborum and erector spinae.
• Identify how to evaluate Transversus abdominus function
• List how to facilitate the core and initiate a core training program.
