Proper muscle function and joint alignment reduces stress on the body and helps to enhance performance. However, due to repetitive movement patterns, injury, or a sedentary lifestyle, dysfunction may occur in the upper extremities and trunk. When this happens, muscle balance, muscle recruitment, or joint motion may become altered, leading to changes in structural alignment, neuromuscular control, and optimal movement patterns. This session will introduce the common upper extremity movement impairments that can be identified with a variety of loaded and dynamic movement assessments. We will also address the common causes of the impairments, and strategies to correct the movement patterns.
