Bernard,
A lot of energy expenditure, ie, movement inefficiency is very common in patients who get hurt and develop pain. It can get more significant and obvious in patients with chronic pain.
Servaas may say that we are not moving in an organic way. (By the way, I talked with him via email and he might pop in this forum sometime soon. But, he said that he had been extremely busy.)
Can we put our brains together to develop "simple way" to find movement dysfunctions like you did, Bernard?
I often look for how well people are taking advantage of gifts from the nature, like gravity, momentum, and ground reaction force. How well do they use loading (eccentric activation of the muscle) to explode (concentrically activate muscle immediately after the stretch reflex) into the direction of their choice to accomplish their task?
We don't move in such a way that we use only concentric contraction from the resting position, do we?
