The Crazy Chicken

So I view this compound movement to be in two phases. Let’s call them out and back.

Intersections are where most motorcycle accidents occur (Muttart 2011). It is important for a motorcyclist to be aware of the vehicles around them. In this video I am demonstrating how a motorcyclist looks both ways before moving through an intersection.

This study looked at a 47 year old man who reported neck pain. Over the previous twelve years he had experienced an increase in neck pain. The patient had for over 25 years been a skydiving instructor. Each year he made more than 300-400 jumps. During a typical jump, a skydiver is subjected to forces around 3-5 times the force of gravity. However, this patient had been diving with a helmet camera that added a 1.5kg to his head.

In this exercise I am opening and closing a sliding glass door; something that I see as an activity of daily life. A few years ago, while trying to ride a bicycle around the world, I was involved in a bicycle vs bus accident. Amongst other things, both shoulders required surgery. Prior to surgery, this was an extremely difficult task to accomplish with my right arm.

This study examined eighteen participants before and after a program of stretching designed to treat Subacromial Impingement Syndrome. After six weeks participants reported less pain at night and during activities.

For this discussion I chose an activity of daily living which is grasping and turning a doorknob.

Upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is a typical postural dysfunction found in many adults. It is often associated with headaches and upper back pain (Muscolino 2015). In some cases, it is associated with shoulder impingements and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. In addition, it can be seen as rounded shoulders and forward head while a person is upright and relaxed
