Brief Summary

Musculoskeletal screening for physical risk factors requires equipment and a trained healthcare or fitness professional to perform and interpret the scoring so that appropriate exercise interventions can be prescribed. However, barriers such as healthcare costs and accessibility, low perceived need to seek medical care, and previous unfavorable evaluation of seeking medical care are associated with healthcare avoidant behaviors. This research aims to explore the effectiveness of the Symmio Self-Screen application to generate specific exercise interventions to address an individual's associated physical risk factors. The ability of the Symmio application to prescribe a targeted exercise program which can reduce asymmetries, improve movement quality, and enhance overall function is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Symmio application in designing individualized exercise interventions which target the unique movement limitations and asymmetries in adults.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Symmio Self-Movement Screen

  Each participant will have access to the Symmio application via cell phone or tablet and will complete the self-screen as directed by the video and verbal guidance provided in the application. Participants will self-score themselves on the Symmio movements and record their results into both the application and on the data collection form.

  Baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Global Rating of Change

  3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the control group will not receive any exercise interventions. Participants in the control group will receive their individualized corrective exercises program following completion of the research study following the 10 week follow up.

Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the intervention will be assigned three corrective exercises based on their greatest movement pattern deficit as advised by the Symmio application. Participants in the intervention group will follow the exercise and educational guidance provided by the Symmio application including adjustment of exercises and reviewing educational materials.

Other: Exercise

Interventions

Exercise OTHER

Three exercises consisting of stretching and strengthening specific to the movement pattern dysfunction scored by Symmio will be prescribed to the participants. The exercises are standardized and assigned within the Symmio application with video instruction and guidance.
