From a Dynamic Systems theory perspective, Hippotherapy provides the client with a dynamic but more or less consistent challenging environment. The client's motor system will reflexively compress its degrees of freedom to optimize trunk stabilization. Thereby, once the client has optimized its motor control, introduce them to another equine so they continue to learn and more variable challenges can be overcome in the future.

No kidding. Also, in my opinion, the latissimus dorsi does not only facilitate glute activation and visa versa, it also operates as a back extensor in the overhead lifts and activities as lumber extension is needed to stabilize the trunk during those maneuvers. http://www.jbiomech.com/article/S0021-9290%2812%2900696-3/abstract

Food For Thought: Sunshine Rollups

Be Well. Be Orange. - Mon, 04/15/2013 - 7:37pm

Food for Thought, brought to you by the Oregon State Student Health Services Dietitian Lynn Cordes, MS, RD, LD and OSU dietetic intern Sherry Farley

Bring a little sunshine into your day with this tangy and flavorful wrap. It incorporates a variety of food groups – fruit, veggie, protein, and grain- making it a great balanced meal all on its own!


Food Hero Recipe

Ingredients
1 cup cooked, diced chicken
1⁄2 cup finely chopped celery
2⁄3 cup canned, drained mandarin oranges
1⁄4 cup minced onion (green, red, or yellow)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
1 large whole wheat tortilla
4 medium lettuce leaves, washed and patted dry

Directions
In medium bowl, mix chicken, celery, oranges, and onions.
Add mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic, and pepper. Mix gently until chicken mixture is coated.
Lay tortilla on clean cutting board or large plate. With a knife or clean scissors, cut tortilla into four quarters.
Place 1 lettuce leaf on each tortilla quarter, trimming leaf so it doesn’t hang over edge of tortilla.
Place 1/4 of chicken mixture in the middle of each lettuce leaf.
Roll tortillas up into a cone, with the two straight edges coming together and the curved edge creating the opening of the cone. Eat like a sandwich!
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
No oranges? Use halved grapes or diced apples.
Instead of chicken, try using 1 cup cooked/drained garbanzo beans, or 1 cup of small tofu cubes.

Balance =/= Proprioception 1: Our ability to adapt our posture as a function of our daily tasks is critical throughout the lifespan. In fact, it is related to the development, optimization, maintenance and decline of our motor skills throughout the lifespan. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3225736/


Development of the Coordination between Posture and Manual Control
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Studies have suggested that proper postural control is essential for the development of reaching. However, little research has examined the development of the coordination between posture and manual control throughout childhood. We investigated the coordination between posture and manual control in…

At Perform Better, Providence, RI I will reveal some thoughts based on research how balance, postural control and movement variability are all related and how they emerge, optimize and decline throughout the lifespan. It's going to make you reconsider unilateral, balance or so called core exercises. Hope you can make it. @NickWinkelman and I used to say "its all about the coconut - the brain"http://www.performbetter.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SingleSeminarDisplay?catalogId=11801&categoryName=3-Day+Functional+Training+Summit&categoryId=2009509&langId=-1&seminarId=2232481&storeId=10151#
