Introduction to Golf Rehabilitation and Performance: 90 Percent Mental, 90 Percent Physical: Summary 49
ASSESSMENT
• Actions :
○ Flexion ○ Extension ○ Abduction ○ Adduction
Subjective Exam • What is your handicap/index? • How often do you play? Where do you play? • What is your miss? • Where do you feel like you can improve most? • What are you looking to accomplish regarding golf? • Consider the patient/client in front of you: ○ What do they want? ○ What do they need to achieve what they want? Objective Exam: Strength and Range of Motion • Foot/Knee : ○ Fore foot inversion/eversion ○ Midfoot inversion/eversion ○ Subtalar inversion/eversion ○ Talocrural glides ○ Distal/proximal tibia/fibula anterior/ posterior, posterior/anterior glides ○ Tibial IR/ER • Hip : ○ Flexion ○ ER ○ IR ○ Add/IR/extension (Ober’s) ○ Abduction raise • Shoulder (Thorax) : ○ Shoulder ER @ 0 degrees (upper posterior ribs) ○ Shoulder ER @ 90 degrees (lower posterior ribs) ○ Shoulder horizontal abduction (upper posterior ribs) ○ Shoulder IR @ 90 degrees (lower anterior ribs) ○ Shoulder horizontal adduction (upper anterior ribs) ○ Shoulder flexion (upper anterior and posterior ribs) • Cervical spine :
○ Internal rotation (IR) ○ External rotation (ER) ○ Horizontal abduction ○ Horizontal adduction
Cervical Spine • Actions : ○ Flexion ○ Extension
○ Sidebend (Left/Right) ○ Rotation (Left/Right)
MECHANICS • Orientation of a joint : Refers to movement of the joint in space • Motion of a joint : Refers to movement of the bones relative to one another: ○ Real motion: Bone position and bone movement ○ Relative motion: Joint position and joint movement Golf Swing Mechanics • Backswing : ○ Right posterior rib expansion ○ Left anterior rib expansion ○ Right shoulder ER/horizontal abduction ○ Left shoulder IR/adduction ○ Cervical rotation left • Downswing/follow-through : ○ Left hip IR/adduction/extension ○ Right hip ER/abduction/flexion ○ Left thoracic rotation ○ Left posterior rib expansion ○ Right anterior rib expansion ○ Left shoulder ER/horizontal abduction ○ Right shoulder IR/adduction ○ Cervical rotation right ○ Right subtalar eversion ○ Left subtalar inversion ○ Right hip IR/adduction/extension ○ Left hip ER/abduction/flexion ○ Right thoracic rotation ○ Left subtalar eversion ○ Right subtalar inversion
○ Lower cervical rotation test ○ Mid-cervical sidebend test
