RPAs EXPLAINED [Part 2b] | Hip Strategies

The video tutorial explains the hip strategy used for balance control, focusing on muscle activation in response to different perturbations. It covers posterior, anterior, and lateral directed perturbations, detailing how muscles like the paraspinals, hamstrings, rectus abdominis, and obliques are activated to maintain balance. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of a narrow base of support and the role of the vestibular apparatus in detecting shifts in the center of gravity.

What is the significance of eccentrically and concentrically contracting muscles in maintaining balance?

In the context of lateral perturbations, how do ipsilateral and contralateral muscles contribute to balance?

What adjustments do the knees make during lateral shifts to maintain balance?
