Alternating Single Leg Lateral Hop w/Stabilization and Reach (Side View)

The kinetic chain seeks structural and functional efficiency during dynamic movement patterns.

Single Leg Lateral Hop acts as a measure to asses the muscular, articular (joint), and neural systems ability to work together as part of an interdependent system. This is also a more advanced assesment of dynamic posture. The hop to stabilization acts an advanced measure to challenge the nervous system and the LPHC "core". Further, the added reach enables increased joint motion and positioning mechanics during landing, building the response of the nervous system.

*From the side view, structural and functional efficiency is visible throughout movement. You will notice good posture of the upper body, the plant foot remains straight with landing on the paw, the knees do not travel over the toes, and a good stick is evident throughout most repetitions (little wobble). As the arm crosses the sagital plane (midsection of the body), the LPHC "core" remains fairly stable (little wobble).

**This individual has been asked to hold each landing and "find the stick". Factors effecting the efficiency of movement must be determined before progressing to a quicker and more repetitive pace or advanced movement.
