Analysis and problem identification

• Missing components and problem list:

  • Recall desired components
  • Identify present components
  • Identify missing components
  • Note additional things that are there
  • Hypothesise why components may be missing
  • Test to confirm what factors are involved
  • e.g. Sensorimotor, balance, psychological
• • Observation: Feet too far forward
  • Missing component: Flexion momentum
  • Test (hypothesis): Ankle ROM, Knee ROM, hams strength, sensation foot, proprioception of knee and ankle
  • Rehab strategy: Stretching, strengthening – be specific, practice within task

  
• • Observation: Insufficient hip flexion
  • Missing component: Flexion momentum
  • Test (hypothesis): Hip ROM, hip flexion strength, fear
  • Rehab strategy: Stretching, strengthening – be specific, practice within task, change environment to increase confidence
• • Observation: No arc – using knee extension ++
  • Missing component: Transition
  • Test (hypothesis): not enough flexion momentum, knee/hip extensor strength
  • Rehab strategy: Targeted strengthening if appropriate, full task practice
