Core Stability and Training: Evidence-Based Practice
for Common Extremity Conditions

Presented by John O’Halloran

Description

Core stability has long been a common standard of care for spinal conditions. Recent evidence has proven that core stability and training can assist in the prevention of common orthopedic extremity conditions as well as enhance neuromuscular extremity kinetic chain function.

Despite overwhelming biomechanical and kinetic link evidence-based support, today’s extremity rehab programs still do not incorporate the entire kinetic chain. It is imperative, especially in today’s reimbursement model with higher patient payment responsibility, that clinicians incorporate the entire kinetic chain earlier in extremity rehab to facilitate an earlier neuromuscular effect and restore quicker and more optimal function of ADLs and a patient’s desired recreational activities.

Learning Objectives

● Apply the fundamentals of the core in structure and function

● Examine the anatomical link between the core and the extremities to enhance an earlier functional return to the patient’s desired activity

● Analyze the connection of fascial tissue to the core and extremities to optimize human extremity movement

● Implement interactive corrective kinetic chain/core exercises for common orthopedic extremity conditions to incorporate in all phases of the rehab process
