Certification Details
Participants will investigate Muscle Activation Techniques® for the hip and explore the relations of the hip muscle function to joint stability as it relates to joint mobility. Participants will evaluate range of motion in movements of the hip. They will use the MAT® assessments to identify areas of muscle weakness in the knee.
Study includes application of the Comparative Assessment Mobility Evaluation (CAM®) procedure to evaluate range of motion and identify biomechanical imbalances within the knee.
Further study includes applications of isolated muscle strength testing using the Active Muscle Contract and Sustain (AMC&S®) procedure on the knee to correlate range of motion limitations to potential muscle weakness. Participants will also learn to apply the Digital Force Application to Muscle Attachment Tissue (DFAMAT) process, along with corrective isometrics and reinforcement exercises. The segment concludes with a final MAT Techniques one on one coaching session.
