Mid Phase (Sessions 5-7)
Treatment Goals:
  • Add light sport-specific activity during perturbation techniques
  • Improve athlete accuracy in matching muscle responses to perturbation intensity, direction and speed
Movement Application:
  • Unexpected forces
  • Rapid, increasing magnitude force application
  • Short delay between subsequent force applications
  • Begin combining directional movement of roller board
  • Distraction via ball toss (Beginning at sessions 6)
