Overhead Squat Test
Purpose[edit|edit source]
The overhead squat test is a subjective screening assessment used to obtain a general indication of dynamicposture. The test identifies compensatory movements and considersmuscleswhich could potentially be overactive or underactive with the intention of addressing these muscle imbalances.[1]The overhead squat test is considered highly practical and time efficient.[2]
Technique[edit|edit source]
The overhead squat test is carried out with the client in a standing position, feet pointed forward in line with the shoulders, both shoulders flexed to around 180 degrees and with the elbows extended. The client would be instructed to go into a squat position as if sitting down on a chair and to resume the initial upright position. The squat should be repeated five times, while the examiner assesses movement at the main joints from an anterior view and from a lateral view.[1]
