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 in Part 2 to reflect movement in the upright position and to challenge the clinician to create exercises in a progressive manner with a return to sport as the goal.

This course is part of a three part series with Steve Dischiavi. View the courses in the following sequence:
  1. Lower Extremity Alignment: A Proximal Rehabilitation Approach
  2. Global Dynamic Functional Stability for the Hip & Pelvis
  3. Exercise Prescription for Hip & Pelvis Movement: Part 1
  4. Exercise Prescription for Hip & Pelvis Movement: Part 2

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 later stages of rehabilitation and return to sport are discussed.

Position 5: Tall Knee

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 later stages of rehabilitation and return to sport are discussed.

Position 6: Half Kneel

3. Position 6: Half Kneel

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 7: Bilateral Stance

4. Position 7: Bilateral Stance

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 8: Unilateral Stance

5. Position 8: Unilateral Stance

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.
