20. allow shoulders to elevate

28. SL balance - SL balance reach - SL hip rotation - SL lift and chop






29. O Regression - Two-legs - Seated - Progression: Single leg - alternate arm - Single leg - single arm - Proprioceptive modalities - (Shoulder stabilization lvl - Performed in scapular plane. )






30. Make sure knee in line w/ toe - Keep hips level to ? stress on spine and LPHC - rotate spine






31. Cable pushdown - Supine bench barbell triceps extension






32. Static - Corrective - Autogenic inhibition - 1-3 sets - Hold 20-30 sec - Gastrocnemius- calf (hands on wall) - Kneeling hip flexor - Standing psoas - Standing adductor (looks like side lunge) - Pectoral wall - Lat ball - Upper trap/ scalene






33. May need to hold stability ball for some people- allow head forward (keep cervical spine neutral) or back arch. - Shoulders externally rotated w/ scapula in retracted and depressed position. ( Shoulder stabilization lvl)






34. Shoulders externally rotated - scapula retracted & depressed - Make sure cervical spine stays neutral (head drawn back).






35. Keep chin tucked. - Need extensibility of Lats to ? stress to shoulder and low back (Back power lvl)






36. torso stationary to ? effectiveness & ? injury to low back ( back strength)






37. Keep chin tucked. - Need extensibility of Lats to ? stress to shoulder and low back (Back power lvl)






38. O Regression - Two leg - Progression: Alt arm - Single arm - Proprioceptive modalities






39. SL romanian dead lift - SL squat touch down - Step up to balance (dif planes) - Step down to balance - Lunge to balance (regress to box)






40. its performed proone (tummy on ball) - Overwt people may need to perform in seated or standing position (vs. prone) (Stabilization back)






41. W/ pushdown - use rope? allows elbows to track through natural range of motion - risk compensation. - W/ barbell curls - watch hand and elbow alignment to ? stress on elbow and compensation. - W/ extension - maintain alignment of ankle - knee - hip
