The Performance Stability Movement & Performance Screening and Training system is so much more than simply ‘core stability’ or strength training. By identifying performance assets, you can fast track training. By identifying weak links and risk factors, you can implement an individual retraining programme. The Performance Matrix will enable you to take clients through a series of stability tests to give you a complete profile of their assets and weak links.
Evidence: current musculoskeletal screening programmes do not predict or prevent re-injury in sport
What's missing: testing functional movements to identify uncontrolled movement (weak links) with multi-joint actions
Assessing function: the site and direction of uncontrolled movement
Evaluating: movement control in both low threshold and high threshold situations
The concepts underlying Performance Stability have been developed from the evidence based practice of Kinetic Control (KC). KC delivers clinically-orientated courses, focussing on the relationship of uncontrolled movement to pain and disability in a therapeutic environment.
Core Stability - Fact or fiction?
The concept of ‘core stability’ has been gaining recognition and generating controversy in the sports, fitness and exercise industries over recent years. Numerous courses, articles and exercise programmes have discussed core stability, but confusion still exists.
It is important to understand that core stability targets low threshold recruitment (motor control) and high threshold recruitment (core strength and limb speed).
