BASI Pilates: Module 7
Deviations usually appear in set patterns, what can we surmise from this? - ANS -
If the body responds in a certain way to a particular movement, then a chain of
other responses will follow.
\How are muscular imbalances identified? - ANS - Gait analysis, muscle flexibility
tests, strength tests and evaluation of key movement patterns.
\How should you attempt to correct compensatory patterns? - ANS - Certain
muscles may need to be used less while greater activation of others may need to
be encouraged.
\Imbalances are relative not absolute. Which two aspects in particular are we
measuring imbalances in the body and by what "measurement" to each other? -
ANS - We measure imbalances, or balance, by measuring the proportion of
strength in comparison to flexibility.
\In Pilates, what is the emphasis when performing a functional movement? - ANS
- Maintaining the integrity of body alignment while doing the given action.
\Name a matching muscle that imbalances occur with the abdominals. - ANS - Hip
flexors
\Name a matching muscle that imbalances occur with the ankle dorsiflexors. -
ANS - Ankle platarflexors.
\Name a matching muscle that imbalances occur with the foot invertors. - ANS -
Foot evertors
\Name a matching muscle that imbalances occur with the hamstrings. - ANS -
Quadriceps femoris
\Name a matching muscle that imbalances occur with the pectorals. - ANS -
Rhomboids
\Name a matching muscle that imbalances occur with the spinal extensor. - ANS -
Abdominals
\Name the matching muscle that imbalances occur with the hip flexors. - ANS -
Hamstrings
\Name the matching muscle that imbalances occur with the upper trapezius. -
ANS - Lower trapezius
\Other than relating to the physical being, what else does imbalance refer to? -
ANS - The mind and emotional being, often referred to as mind-body work. The
connection between mind and body should be recognized and addressed. Only in
this way will the full potential of the method be realized.
\What are compensatory patterns? - ANS - Undesired movement patterns.
