Principles of Functional Exercise

(Ben Green) #1

Core Stability Testing - Crossover


■ Push up position with legs about shoulder width apart. Keeping back neutral touch one
hand to another and return to start position without shifting body. Immediately repeat with
opposite hand and continue to alternate.
■ Can’t keep neutral spine = weak core
■ Trapezius hiking = overactive traps
■ Scapular winging = weak serratus anterior
■ Hip rotation = weak trunk and glutes
■ This is a good exercise to incorporate into your clients routine as well
