Movement Impairment and Dysfunction

Answer THREE questions.

Phillipa is a professional field hockey player who has been referred for rehab as is struggling
to recover from a grade II medial collateral ligament sprain. She is 3 months post injury and
still gets pain when playing and training in the gym.
Her key assessment findings include:

adductor complex
1. Phillipa demonstrates an inability to control medial rotation of the hip during a single
leg squat, in your answer discuss the classification and characteristics of the key
muscles important in controlling medial rotation at the hip.
2. Phillipa demonstrates clinical findings consistent with recruitment dysfunction discuss
what this dysfunction means in relation to the global system and low load exercise.
3. In Phillipas case should we consider restrictions? Justify why we might consider
restrictions, give appropriate examples of possible muscles which might be restricted
and discuss an appropriate intervention relating this to the underlying
neurophysiology.
4. Identify two key exercises for Phillipa to perform as part of a low load home exercise
programme along with a progression for each. How would you progress the low load
exercises into high load exercises? Include in your answer appropriate AEVs.
Answer THREE questions:
Ian is a professional rugby player who has been referred for rehab as is struggling to
recover from a grade II Anterior Cruciate Ligament sprain. He is 3 months post injury
and still gets pain when doing simple drill training with the squad and training in the
gym.
His key assessment findings include:

Question 1:
Ian demonstrates an inability to control medial rotation of the hip during a single leg
squat, in your answer discuss the classification and characteristics of the key
muscles important in controlling medial rotation at the hip.
Question 2:
Ian demonstrates clinical findings consistent with recruitment dysfunction. Discuss
what this dysfunction means in relation to the global system and low load exercise.
Question 3:
In Ians case, should we consider restrictions? Justify why we might consider
restrictions, give appropriate examples of possible muscles which might be restricted
and discuss an appropriate intervention relating this to the underlying
neurophysiology.
Question 4:
Identify two key exercises for Ian to perform as part of a LOW load home exercise
programme. How would you progress the low load exercises into high load

exercises? Include in your answer appropriate AEVs.

Answer THREE questions.

Katy is a 26 year old tennis player who has had a 2 year history of low back pain.
She gets her pain an ache following prolonged tennis practice sessions and serving
is a particular aggravating factor. She has had x-rays and MRIs which have ruled out
discogenic problems but shows some arthritic changes, mobilising the facet joints
seems to give symptomatic relief, however the symptoms keep returning. Her key
assessment findings include:

1. Discuss the importance of addressing the underlying cause and

compensation as well as symptoms when rehabilitating Katy back from her
injury.
2. Katy demonstrates clinical findings consistent with recruitment dysfunction
discuss what this dysfunction means in relation to the global system and low
load exercise.
3. In Katys case should we consider restrictions? Justify why we might consider
restrictions, give appropriate examples of possible muscles which might be
restricted and discuss an appropriate intervention relating this to the
underlying neurophysiology.
4. Identify TWO key exercises for Katy to perform as part of a LOW load home
exercise programme. How would you progress the low load exercises into
high load exercises? Include in your answer appropriate AEVs.
