The Ministry of Silly Walks-Clinical Observational Analysis of Complex Musculoskeletal Activities

The Ministry of Silly Walks-Clinical Observational Analysis of Complex Musculoskeletal Activities explains how athletes operate their bodies in an integrated fashion to develop a specific response to a specific functional task and details how a clinical parameter can be an integral part of the practice of dynamic observational analysis. In other words, when making a clinical assessment of a complex multisegmented movement pattern, it is necessary to determine what is normal, what is abnormal, and what makes it abnormal in order to be able to identify the appropriate treatment for restoring the situation to normal.

Among the topics covered:

• Observational analysis
• Clinical usage of dynamic observational analysis
• Implications for patellofemoral evaluation
• Dynamic clinical observation of scapular motion
• Dynamic clinical observation of the baseball pitching motion
• Dynamic clinical observation of the tennis service motion
