      Webinar Description

      Eccentric muscle contractions are the brakes of the human movement system. The speaker will present novel ideas on the role of eccentrics in walking and other motor tasks. In the normal gait pattern, the majority of muscle contractions are eccentric, yielding remarkable efficiency: harnessing momentum and ground reaction forces to minimize the energy cost of walking. In individuals with neurological injuries, movement impairments impede the ability to generate eccentric contractions or to time muscle contractions correctly, yielding co-contraction. This leads to a decrease in walking, functional performance and participation. The speaker will identify how these impairments impede gait ability and how to promote eccentric muscle contractions in intervention programs to minimize negative effects on gait and maximize walking performance.

      Overview
      State how the mechanics of breathing, talking, and postural control are interactive and inter-dependent components of normal movement strategies    
      • Discuss the potential benefits of utilizing voicing strategies to improve postural control in order to treat gait impairment and enhance locomotor performance
      • Identify eccentric elements of a biomechanically-efficient gait pattern that are not present in specific gait patterns demonstrated by individuals with neurological impairments
      • Select intervention strategies or techniques to elicit eccentric muscle contractions and address the timing and alignment deficits observed in the gait pattern(s) of neurologically-impaired individuals
      • Select intervention strategies or techniques to address the timing and alignment deficits observed in the gait pattern(s) of neurologically-impaired individuals
