Back in Part 1, I presented some of the more traditional functional strength assessments that are applicable to runners. I hit on ideas like the functional squat, forward lunge, balance, and jumping.
We use these and other tests to get an idea of functional strength. Results guide us in designing a preventive exercise program or in treating an existing injury. In Part 2, I introduced some specific strength drills and encouraged you to try then at home. And today in Part 3 of this series, I’d like to outline dynamic tests and treatments that you may find helpful.
Use these ideas to help you know what you need to train. With them, I hope you are able to “Get Your Run On!” Click here for more information about our Runner’s Clinic at Alpine Physical Therapy.
