Practical Lesson Plan

SISFFIT018 - Promote functional movement capacity

Practical

Session length                               30minutes

Style / Type                                     Postural Assessment

Location                                            Theory Room, Outdoor or Group Exercise Studio

Part A - Perform postural assessment and mobility test

1. Students must conduct a professional static postural assessment and record the results accordingly.:       

• Select a flat surface for the client to stand on
• Ask the client to wear minimal clothing (shirt off for men and sports bra for women) This allows for unrestricted observation
• Ask the client to take up a neutral stance on a line marked on the floor in front of the posture grid or screen
• Take up a position that provides a clear and unrestrictive view of the client – no less than 3 m from the client should be satisfactory
• Ask the client to relax and breathe normally

Students are to pair up and perform the below 4 mobility tests. 

For your reference the following units are being assessed during this practical lesson.

You will need to be deemed satisfactory in all above competencies to pass this assessment. For any areas that are not satisfactory your trainer will discuss with you to assess understanding and make a final decision on your competency.

Reassessments will be via the usual CSF reassessment policy.

Part B - Postural abnormalities

1. Describe Upper cross syndrome and the potential risks associated?
2. Describe Lower cross syndrome and the potential risks associated?
3. Why does Lower cross syndrome put a client at an increased risk of lower back injury? Explain your response using anatomical terminology.

4. List the contraindications for a client who has Upper cross syndrome and explain for each activity why?
