The Skill Of Off-Centre Attitude In Parallel

416 Words2 Pages

The skill I have chosen is the off-centre attitude in parallel, which is a balance.

Alignment is that ability to balance the bones so that the muscular system does less work. It is the efficient balance of the body, whether standing or in motion.”

The off-centre attitude in parallel has a diverse range of alignment considerations, placements and relevant joint actions occurring from the base of support through to the cranium.
Starting from the base of support, the foot is placed in 2nd position parallel with the weight needing to be distributed equally between the calcaneus and tarsal bones to maintain the foot’s longitudinal arch. The ankle joint is dorsiflexed and travelling up the leg is the knee in flexion, aligned over the centre of the foot to sustain the same parallel plane as the foot. …show more content…

The hip joint connected to the supporting leg is in flexion and the joint connected to the working leg is in extension. There is an anterior pelvis tilt which creates a flat plane with energy travelling from the knee of the working leg, up to the hip, through the lengthened spine and up and out of the crown of the head.
The knee joint of the working leg is in flexion with plantaflexion at the ankle joint and phalanges in point to sustain the quality of line from the knee to the foot.
In this balance the arms are a-symmetrical and both have a straight quality of line from the shoulders (scapula depression is needed) to the phalanges. The energy travels through the arms and out of the tip of phalanges. The arm that corresponds with the working leg is positioned on the lateral plane, abducted from the body.
The shoulder joint and elbow are in extension and there is pronation of the forearm with the volar facing downwards. Along the arm the wrist is in a neutral position, there is adduction of the phalanges, and extension of the metacarpophalangeal

Maille completed tasks such as touching her nose with index fingers and eyes closed jumping jacks, jumping in place, pivoting thumb and index fingers, and tapping feet and fingers. Maille showed strength in being able to use both sides of her body while tapping her feet and fingers on same and opposite sides. I did not notice any weakness in Maille with this subtest. Maille scored average in bilateral coordination. Balance is the next subtest under body coordination composite.

In adults, these bones are completely fused and their bodies form the cavity for the articulation with the femur, the acetabulum (8). The acetabulum is a deep cotyloid cavity in which all three pelvic bones contribute. It is composed of the body of ilium craniolaterally, the body of ischium caudolaterally and the body of pubis medially. The acetabulum is reciprocal to the head of femur, with which it forms the spheroidal hip joint. The acetabular cavity consists of the peripheral articular lunate surface and the non-articular acetabular fossa in the center.

In order to reduce strain on the throwing arm and capitalize on control and velocity the pitcher must perform the stride phase efficiently and effectively. To achieve a proper stride phase, the pitcher must keep a stable back leg at all times to keep a balanced position throughout the phase besides the follow-through phase. Although, the follow-through phase has to be controlled so that the height of the ball when release will not decrease. Another action that can hinder the weight that transfers is how the front leg lands. If the front leg lands stiffly, it will cause an increase of negative force which will reduce the weight transferred while the opposite holds true

The longitudinal axis movement starts when the horse moves its right back paw, losing the balance to the front and left side, consequently to recover the balance, the animal lengthens its neck and lowers its head, and then moves the front left paw to compensate the displaced weight. However when the horse steps with the front left paw, it slows the movement and lose the balance of the rider in the front, for which reason it raises the neck to stop the displacement of the practitioner, reaching the chance of move the right back paw and sustain its weight, later the horse moves the left back paw and impulses itself to the front and right, consequently stepping with the front right limb and starting the movement again, however at this time losing

The knee joint is also known as tibiofemoral joint. It is a synovial hinge joint formed between three bones which are the femur, tibia and patella (Taylor, n.d.). There are two rounded, convex processes which are known as condyles on the distal end of the femur. The distal end of the femur meets two rounded, concave condyles at the proximal end of the tibia (Tyalor, n.d.). A thick, triangular bone which is known as patella lies anterior surface between the femur and tibia.

Introduction         Across America, the landscape of job opportunities has changed drastically since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994. This trade agreement between the countries of Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico set out to eliminate tariffs on goods originating in one of the other countries. To those in power, the opportunities appeared endless, with minimal repercussions to affect the overwhelming growth that such an arrangement could bring to North America. In the process of shifting to this policy, as the old adage goes: “the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.” While the country of Mexico benefited largely from the many industries that packed up from the United States
