    The KC Process
 

The KC Process will help you to:

Assess, diagnose & classify movement in terms of pain and dysfunction from a motor control and biomechanical perspective

Have available at your fingertips a large range of motor control and movement retraining strategies to establish optimal functional control

Use a clinical reasoning framework to prioritise the clinical decision-making challenges that movement therapists experience in contemporary clinical practice

Use fine-tuned observation and palpation skills to monitor recruitment and control of movement

Develop and assessment framework which will provide a diagnosis of:

     dysfunction

  • site & direction of uncontrolled movement
  • uncontrolled translation
  • myofascial & articular restrictions
  • aberrant guarding responses

     diagnosis of pain sensitive tissues

     diagnosis in pain mechanisms

  • mechanical inflammatory sensitisation
  • CNS neurogenic sensitisation
  • behavioural responses

Use this process to identify the real clinical priorities

Use a clinical assessment tool to identify deficiencies and reassess improvements in motor control efficiency

Integrate non-functional motor control back in functionally relelvant movement

Apply a stability assessment to any joint in the body
