Jeff Scheer’s
Movement Analysis
By: Amanda Palumbo
Kinesiology Section 5
12:15-1:30 Tuesday and Thursday
Demographics:
Name: Jeff Scheer
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Height: 75 inches and 190.5 cm
Weight: 95 kg and 210lbs
BMI: 26.2
Physical Goals:
o To maintain an athletic body type.
o The health component he wants to work on is muscular strength, muscular
endurance and a little cardiovascular endurance.
o Currently exercises 3-4 days a week for an hour each day
Review of Physical History:
1. Medical Conditions:
o 1 previous injury
 Concussion
o Has no current injuries
o Played football and ran track
o Currently plays recreational sports like flag football and participates for about
one hour
o Current occupation is bartender/server which may affect his lower back due to
constant standing, walking, and bending.
2. Influences:
Jeff Scheer is currently active and has physical goals that he is maintaining by
exercising 3-4 days a week for 60 minutes each day. He has no previous injuries that
could impact his movement however; his occupation could affect the kinetic chain. He
constantly stands and walks for hours at a time, if he is not moving or walking properly
it can affect his whole body. He mentioned his lower back could be affected by his
occupation which means it may start from lower parts of his body. For example the
way he steps. My suggestion would be to build work on the core. Also I suggest
working the shoulder girdle muscles to help with posture. If you have good posture it
could decrease the stress on lower back.

Hamstrings could become weaker.
The ligaments and tendons in the knee could become weaker and cause knee problem.
Problems with the knee could potentially affect the Hip and spine.
A potential problem could be with walking. The hip and knee could be strengthened by
stretching to reach the normal range of motion. The hamstrings and quadriceps could
become weak.
Also it could affect the spine if one side is weaker. Activities could be limited because
they might cause pain in knee, hip, and back.

All of the postural needs are normal expect for the acromioclavicular joint. The right side
is slightly higher. This could mean overactive right levator scapula and upper trapezius. It could
also mean an underactive right lower trapezius. His goals are to keep an athletic body type and
work on muscular endurance and strength. With everything in alignment it should be easy to
achieve his goals. The only thing he may need to make sure he works on his exercising his lower
trapezius and try to stretch his right levator scapula and upper trapezius.

On the Anterior view the right knee and right foot appear to be not aligned. The right
foot is slightly turned out to valgus. The right Soleus, the lateral gastrocnemius, and biceps
femoris could be over-active. The right leg medial gastrocnemius and medial hamstring
(semitendinosus) could be under-active. The right soleus, the lateral gastronemius, and biceps
femoris could be stretched because they need to be lenghted because they are too tight. They
also may need to be inhibited to prevent the muscle from contracting when they should be
involved in certain movements like the over-head squat. The right leg medial gastrocnemius
and medial hamstring (semitendinosus) need to be strengthened.
On the Sagittal view there is a slight forward lean. The rectus abdominus, the soleus,
and hip flexors could be over-active; they need to be stretched or inhibited. The erector spinae
and tibialis anterior may need to be strengthened. There is also a slight excessive lumbar
lordosis. The hip flexors and latissiumus dorsi could be too tight and over-active and could need
to be stretched. The anterior core muscles and hamstrings could be under-active and need to
be strengthened.
On the Posterior view there is an asymmetrical shift to the left. The adductors on the
left side may be over-active and need to be lengthened by being stretched. The left side
gluteus medius may be under-active and need to be strengthened.
Exercise and stretch recommendations:
Exercises:

Seated knee curls

hip extensions using a resistance band

bridges

standing calf-rises

straight leg side plank
Stretches:

soleus
o Stand with one leg in front of the other, with both feet pointed forward.
Put hands on a wall or similar for support. Then keep back knee bent, with
the heel pressed to the floor and push your hips forward, while pressing
your back heel to ground

Standing lateral tilt

Childs pose

Lateral over-head stretch

Corrective Exercises:
Single leg dead lefts:
- To strengthen the hamstrings, gluteus medius, and the core
- Trains Gluteus Medius to help with asymmetrical shift in
over-head squat
Single Leg Bridge on stability ball:
- To strengthen Hamstrings and Core
Lateral walks with resistances:
-To strengthen the gluteus medius to reduce the risk of valgus as seen in postural assessments
and to stabilize the pelvis
Core exercises to strengthen anterior core muscles seen in postural assessment and over-head
squat
1. Pelvic tilt should be done first to put spine in neutral position
2. Pelvis tilt with single leg lifts, leg cycles, double leg lowering, and reverse curls, feet to
sky.
3. Superman exercise to train the erector spinae which was seen to be under-active in the
over-head squat
Barbell Shrugs: to train the Upper Trapezius which appeared to be weak in postural analysis
and over-head squat
