2024 Foundation Webinar 4

Muscle Performance in Movement System Syndromes: Neuromuscular Adaptations

Speakers: Ann Crowe, PT, DPT, OCS and Jesse Civello, PT, DPT, OCS

Date/Time: May 15, 2024 Wednesday 7-9pm central time

This webinar will describe the adaptations of weak muscle and overdeveloped muscle, and how they affect the movement patterns. The following will be discussed:

The relationship between muscle weakness and the pattern of activation
The relationship between muscle hypertrophy and muscle stiffness
How variations in stiffness can contribute to altered movements
The difference between muscle stiffness and shortness
The role of concentric vs. eccentric control in the shoulder girdle
Different properties for activation / de-activation / strengthening during concentric and eccentric recruitment

Another key to appropriate modification of shoulder girdle alignment and movement is resting muscle length. Other factors affecting shoulder motion are the shape and alignment of the thoracic spine / ribcage / cervical spine, which influence the line of gravity on muscle activation. Discussion will include how these adaptations affect shoulder girdle alignment and movements and contribute to movement system syndromes.

Upon completion of this webinar the participants will be able to

Explain the effect of activation pattern on muscle performance.
Describe the relationship between muscle hypertrophy and stiffness.
Discuss the relationship between muscle stiffness and shortness and the effect on shoulder motions.
Describe muscle length adaptations in relation to shoulder alignment and movement.
Explain the differences between concentric and eccentric muscle contraction and their relationship to impaired shoulder motions.
Describe the effect of alignment on muscle activation and movement patterns.

Schedule:

7pm-7:10pm: Announcements, intro of speakers, outline of the Foundation Webinar Series

7:10pm-7:30pm: Alignment gives clues. Review of Shoulder Biomechanics

7:30pm-8:30pm: Muscle activation pattern and movement patterns in patients. Muscle length vs stiffness vs strength.

8:30pm-9pm: Concentric vs eccentric control. Activation vs deactivation. Stretch vs relax vs recruit muscles? Break the cycle by learning to move differently.

Ann Crowe, PT, DPT, board certified orthopaedic clinical specialist, MS

Dr. Ann Crowe developed her passion for physical activity through nearly two decades of competitive swimming including collegiate swimming and the Olympic Trials. While working as a systems engineer in the aerospace industry, Ann completed an Ironman triathlon. This experience helped her understand that swimming skills did not translate to injury prevention in running and cycling. Following a biomechanics-based running analysis and skilled care from a physical therapist, Ann found her calling in human movement. She embarked on an entirely new career as a physical therapist, focusing on rehabilitating injured runners and endurance athletes. Ann has been treating runners at Washington University's running clinic for years and is a certified BikePT. She is the co-owner of Precision Physical Therapy. She actively contributes to the swimming and cycling injury curriculum at Washington University in St. Louis Physical Therapy program for their Sports Focused Study doctoral students and is an international presenter on how swimming technique biomechanics impact shoulder pain.

Jesse Civello, PT, DPT, board certified orthopaedic clinical specialist

With her love for helping others and her knack for solving complex problems, Dr. Jesse Civello knew that she wanted to be a physical therapist from a young age. Her commitment to the profession only grew after witnessing her father go into cardiac arrest when she was a young adult. During her father’s recovery, Jesse became interested in the role of physical fitness as a means of preventative health. Throughout her physical therapy education, she became passionate about just how imperative pain-free movement is to a lifetime of physical and mental wellbeing.

As a published researcher in the field, she specializes in treating patients with chronic low back pain. She continues to develop her movement expertise by engaging in regular teaching opportunities for doctoral level physical therapy students and professionals. She presents at the local and national level regarding treatment of TMJ pain and effects of motor skill training on chronic low back pain. She also obtained the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certification, enabling her to effectively address the unique physical therapy needs of the golfing community.
