No child walks if they don't establish crawling patterns first! The most intelligent healthcare professionals will resort to primitive patterns to correct the root cause of the problem. If you don't then you are missing the train, and the field of sports medicine will leave you behind!
This directly has roots to the rotary stability test in the FMS screen. The creeping pattern that follows basic crawling in our developmental sequence. It represents the first efficient form of locomotion for most humans. The patterns represent the same reciprocal movements of the arm and legs used in climbing, walking, and running.
Implications of the rotary stability movement pattern include:
1) Limited performance during this test can be attributed to poor reflex stabilization of the trunk and core.
2) Compromised scapular and hip stability can also cause poor performance.
3) Limited knee, hip, spine and shoulder mobility can reduce the ability to perform the complex pattern, leading to a poor test score.
Working hard in the video is a senior Fresno Pacific University soccer student-athlete that is now an MLS prospect! Great athlete, that is struggling with something as simple as crawling, WOW!
