Rehabilitation with Progressions and Procedos Platform9: Simplicity and Effectiveness in Fundamental Movements
Rehabilitation is a complex process requiring a methodical and systematic approach to restore the body’s function. With Procedos Platform9, this process becomes both easy to understand and straightforward to follow, thanks to its nine reference points and the ability to perform fundamental movements in a wide range of variations. By training in all three planes of motion – sagittal, frontal, and transverse – the platform offers a comprehensive rehabilitation solution that combines progressive training with practical feedback.
Why Procedos Platform9?
Procedos Platform9 is designed to:
- Visualize movements easily: The nine clearly marked positions allow patients and therapists to understand movement patterns and focus on specific areas.
- Work in all planes of motion: All fundamental movements can be performed in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes, ensuring holistic training.
- Support progression: Each exercise can be modified by small adjustments in position, direction, speed, or load, enabling gradual increases in difficulty and functional improvement.
- Provide clear goals and feedback: The reference points deliver immediate feedback to both therapist and patient, making it easier to track progress and identify weaknesses.
Rehabilitation Using Fundamental Movements in All Planes of Motion
The fundamental movements – hinge, squat, lunge, pivot, reach, lift, push, pull, jump, and react – form the foundation for a functional body. Incorporating variations in direction, position, and plane of motion, Procedos Platform9 offers a flexible rehabilitation solution adaptable to each individual’s needs.
1. Hinge
- Sagittal Plane: Classic hip hinges in Position 1 improve hip mobility and strengthen glutes and hamstrings.
- Frontal Plane: Lateral weight shifts from Position 2 to 8 train hip lateral stability.
- Transverse Plane: Diagonal movements from Position 1 to 7 engage the core and improve rotational control.
- Progression: Start with small movements in the sagittal plane and gradually integrate lateral and diagonal directions.
2. Squat
- Sagittal Plane: Perform deep squats in Position 1 to strengthen the thighs and glutes.
- Frontal Plane: Add lateral movements between Position 2 and 8 to improve balance and hip stability.
- Transverse Plane: Rotate squats by shifting weight between Position 1 and 9, engaging the core and lower body.
- Progression: Increase difficulty by adding weights or introducing faster tempos.
3. Lunge
- Sagittal Plane: Perform forward and backward lunges between Position 1 and 4.
- Frontal Plane: Side lunges to Position 6 strengthen lateral hip stability.
- Transverse Plane: Diagonal lunges from Position 1 to 7 strengthen the entire body through dynamic movements.
- Progression: Begin with static lunges and gradually add dynamic transitions between positions.
4. Pivot
- Sagittal Plane: Small forward and backward pivots from Position 1 to focus on control.
- Frontal Plane: Add side pivots to Position 2 and 8.
- Transverse Plane: Complete pivots between Position 1 and 7 to engage the entire body.
- Progression: Use external resistance like bands to increase intensity.
5. Reach
- Sagittal Plane: Forward and backward reaches between Position 1 and 4 enhance shoulder and thoracic mobility.
- Frontal Plane: Lateral reaches to Position 2 improve side flexibility.
- Transverse Plane: Diagonal reaches to Position 7 engage the core.
- Progression: Combine movements with balance training for added challenge.
6. Jump
- Sagittal Plane: Small forward and backward jumps between Position 1 and 4.
- Frontal Plane: Side jumps between Position 2 and 8 improve lateral stability.
- Transverse Plane: Diagonal jumps between Position 1 and 7 train rotational strength and balance.
- Progression: Start with low jumps and gradually increase height and distance.
Clear Development Through Multi-Planar Movement
Procedos Platform9 ensures easy and clear progression:
- Visual feedback: Patients can clearly see their development by using the numbered positions as a reference.
- Gradual progression: By altering direction, position, or tempo, exercises can be adapted to the patient’s level and goals.
- Training in all planes: Working in sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes ensures the body is trained in a balanced and functional manner.
- Functional carryover: The fundamental movements and their variations ensure that training translates directly into everyday life and sports performance.
Conclusion
With Procedos Platform9, rehabilitation becomes a dynamic and engaging process where patients can track their progress and understand how each exercise contributes to their recovery. By using fundamental movements in all planes of motion and their variations, a comprehensive and effective rehabilitation plan is created, meeting both the patient’s needs and the therapist’s goals.
