Figure 6 Single-leg Squat Assessment

| Position
1. Client should stand with hands on the hips and eyes focused on an object straight ahead.
2. Feet should be pointed straight ahead, and the foot, ankle and knee and the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex should be in a neutral position. Movement
3. Instruct client to raise one leg and place it parallel to the stance leg.
4. Have client squat down to a comfortable level and return to the start position.
5. Perform up to five repetitions.

The first step is to incorporate an Integrated Model to reduce the risk of injury and increase performance. As such, this begins with assessment to identify muscle imbalances (see Figures 5 & 6). These assessments work to understand muscle tightness and concomitant muscle weakness through the identification of faulty movement patterns. The next step is to incorporate a corrective strategy designed to alleviate imbalances and increase neuromuscular efficiency by combining both stretching and strengthening to comprehensively facilitate re-alignment of the human movement system. Using Table 6 as a guide to working with common imbalances, initiate a corrective exercise strategy that incorporates inhibiting the overactive musculature, stretching the overactive musculature, activating the underactive musculature, and integrating the affected areas into compound functional movement. This table shows example strategies for the movement compensations shown. Individuals require an individualized intervention strategy based on the imbalances or compensations they present.
