 Episode Overview Bill and Chris unpack the philosophy and implementation of assessment within the UHPC Model, showing how testing reveals energetic behavior—not just structural position. Rather than focusing on static joint angles, they illustrate how relative motion, systemic organization, and phase-based strategies tell the real story of what a system can or cannot do. The discussion critiques isolative and reductionist interpretations and offers a coherent, propulsion-informed approach to understanding and intervening effectively. Key Topics & Chapter Highlights 00:00 – What Assessment Is For Chris opens by outlining the episode's goal: explore the role of assessments, how to interpret them, and how they should guide programming and interventions. Bill highlights that understanding behavior—not structure—is the foundation. 02:30 – You’re Probably Not Measuring What You Think You Are Bill reframes “shoulder rotation” tests: you’re seeing the behavior of the whole system, not just a joint. Without knowing how movement is produced—compensatory vs relative—you can’t select meaningful interventions. 06:40 – What ER and IR Measures Actually Tell You Chris introduces ER and IR as space and pressure variables. Bill explains that internal and external rotation measures reveal where a person can absorb and project energy in the propulsive sequence. 09:10 – Relative Motion vs Orientation Bill explains the difference: relative motion means segments move in opposition (ER vs IR), while orientation means segments move together. Understanding this distinction is crucial for interpreting what the system is capable of doing. 12:00 – Local Symptoms Are Global Behavior Problems Isolated complaints (tight traps, painful joints) often arise because other parts of the system aren’t contributing. Misinterpreting tightness as a local problem misses the systemic behavior that causes it. 14:00 – ER = Space | IR = Pressure ER reflects how much space a system can access. IR reflects how effectively it can manage pressure. Shape change expresses this dynamically across different propulsion phases. 16:30 – Table Tests Aren’t Neutral Tests like straight leg raise or shoulder IR can be easily distorted by compensatory behavior (e.g., shrugging, rolling). The table is a constraint; knowing how to interpret the constraint matters as much as the raw measure. 20:00 – Propulsion Phases Reveal the Strategy A low straight leg raise might reflect a system stuck in late propulsion. Without resolution, picking up isolated IR could actually be an anterior compensatory strategy—not a gain in movement options. 24:00 – The Tests Reveal Potential, Not Performance Table tests predict what a person could do when upright. They tell you what the system has access to, not how it will behave under load or complexity. But without them, you can’t identify effective interventions. 27:30 – Even If You Don’t Do Table Tests... Even strength coaches and trainers who never use tables need to understand them. Recognizing shapes, pressures, and constraints in upright behavior requires that deeper knowledge. Key Takeaways Assessment reveals system behavior, not joint capacity. You’re always measuring shape, not parts. Table tests show potential, not upright readiness—but they’re foundational for interpreting strategy. Relative motion is key. Orientation without opposition means compression and less adaptability. IR = pressure. ER = space. Both are phase-dependent, not just joint-specific. Complex movements reflect strategy. Know what you’re seeing. No movement is neutral. Every behavior reflects an energetic solution—or a compensation.
