The concept of Dynamic Kinetic Chain Integration is implemented into the design of hip-focused therapeutic exercise programs. The global connectivity of the human kinetic chain is considered as exercises are designed with the goal of increasing efficiency of movement by utilizing the hip and pelvis. The goal of integrating the kinetic chain in a dynamic method makes the athlete utilize multiple muscular myofascial chains in an orchestrated manner while being in a position of greater stability. The organizational challenge of the exercises is increased as the exercises are progressed from a position of increased stability to positions requiring the athlete to learn how to improve stability independently.

Chapters & learning objectives

Introduction

1. Introduction

The rationale for utilizing the Dynamic Kinetic Chain Integration paradigm is explained as are the principles behind its application. The progression of the strengthening and activation exercises for the earlier stages of motor learning and rehabilitation are discussed.

Position 1: Supine

2. Position 1: Supine

Exercise description and demonstration will occur for the most stable positions in the exercise series, allowing the client/athlete to accomplish fundamental movement patterns needed for increased movement efficiency later in the series.

Position 2: Side-Lying

3. Position 2: Side-Lying

Exercise description and demonstration will occur for the most stable positions in the exercise series, allowing the client/athlete to accomplish fundamental movement patterns needed for increased movement efficiency later in the series.

Position 3: Prone

4. Position 3: Prone

Exercise description and demonstration will occur for the most stable positions in the exercise series, allowing the client/athlete to accomplish fundamental movement patterns needed for increased movement efficiency later in the series.

Position 4: Quadruped

5. Position 4: Quadruped

Exercise description and demonstration will occur for the most stable positions in the exercise series, allowing the client/athlete to accomplish fundamental movement patterns needed for increased movement efficiency later in the series.
