A client's knees move inward during the overhead squat. Which muscle should be prioritized in the activation phase?
Answer: Gluteus medius
Knee valgus is associated with an underactive gluteus medius and gluteus maximus, which are targeted during activation.
For the same knee valgus client, which muscle is most appropriate to inhibit with foam rolling?
Answer: Adductor complex
The adductor complex is commonly overactive with knee valgus and is a primary inhibition target.
A client's feet turn out during the overhead squat. Which muscle is typically underactive?
Answer: Medial gastrocnemius
Feet turning out is associated with underactive medial gastrocnemius, medial hamstrings, gracilis, sartorius, and popliteus.
What is the main purpose of the integration phase of the Corrective Exercise Continuum?
Answer: Retrain synergistic function of muscles through functional, multiplanar movements
Integration uses total-body, functionally progressive movements to restore coordinated muscle recruitment.
A client shows an excessive forward lean in the overhead squat. Which pair of muscles is commonly overactive?
Answer: Soleus and hip flexor complex
Excessive forward lean is linked to overactive soleus, gastrocnemius, hip flexor complex, and abdominal complex.
Which assessment result should drive the selection of corrective exercises in a program?
Answer: Observed movement compensations from static and dynamic assessments
Corrective programs are built from compensations identified in movement assessments.
What is the correct order of the Corrective Exercise Continuum?
Answer: Inhibit, lengthen, activate, integrate
The continuum progresses from inhibiting and lengthening overactive tissue to activating and integrating underactive tissue.
