It's complicate to learn but does have real application and scientific justification. Plus, to clients, it looks like magic because it improves ROM in seconds. Best regards!

I don not have specific recommendations for training with the DARD. If a PT specified to me that an athlete needed more isolated Dorsiflexion strength. I would add this type of training into a program. Otherwise, I would not do much load exercise with this joint motion. Hope this helps! Best regards! Coach N Great question!

Scope of practice is something that I preach to every class I teach. As trainers and coaches, its okay to learn about therapy based concepts without trying to apply them. Sometimes this extra knowledge helps us better understand what other health professionals do and how we can maybe network with them through referrals. Great comments! Coach N You are 100% correct!

Purnell Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:25:12 +0000 http://nicktumminello.com/?p=826#comment-383 Hello. I think the when it comes to the issue of muscle imbalances it is about having compatible strength and flexibility surrounding a joint to allow adequate freedom of movement to perform a specific task(s), under a specific amount of tension, with or without a substansial external load. I agree with you that certain muscle are not capable of equal strength of it's antagonist partner, but there needs to be compatible strength and flexibility of the agonist/antagonist pairs so surrounding muscle, which act as stabilizers or neutralizers, do not take on the roll of prime mover.
