This course offers the attendee an opportunity to re-examine ‘gait’, ‘ambulation’, ‘walking’, ‘bipedalism’, and ‘locomotion’ by addressing the cortical coordination of the human limbs that are responsible for individual forward locomotor movement patterns. Neurological and physiological dominance is designed around introspective habituation and compensation, that reflects physical predominant hemispheric loading and cortical hemi-spatial flow. A comprehensive, and up to date, review of literature and research on cortical dominance and associated pre-existing dominance factors that define interlimb and intralimb interaction during forward movement of the body, is offered. Arm and leg control, and overall associated motor function of human swing, support and propulsion will be addressed through asymmetrical gravitational balance effort and anti-gravitational eccentric considerations. Both, arm and leg control, and function in human locomotion, will be dissected and described, as a novel introduction to integrated upper and lower extremity movement, and hemi-spatial awareness and hemi-chest activity will be outlined, for all phases of forward locomotor movement. Clinical recommendations for individual introspection of forward locomotor movement will be provided throughout the course. Eccentric control of functional cortical predominant patterned limitations on locomotor movement, along with multisystem guidelines for reweighting balance through limb use, will be provided through the use of PRI non-manual technique application.
Instructional Methods: Lecture, demonstration, clinical application, case discussion, and Q&A
Live Stream courses will take place from 8am-5pm CT each day, and certificates of completion/CE credit will be awarded the following week after completion of the course evaluation survey and short post-test. For more information on whether your state/organization is approved for CE approval, please click on the “CE Approval” tab. Live Stream courses will be engaging, interactive and include demonstration of objective testing and/or non-manual techniques, in addition to course attendees being able to ask questions throughout the course. All that’s needed on your end is reliable internet access, a webcam, microphone and speaker (or a smart phone can be used if you do not have a computer or laptop with this capability) to utilize ZOOM for the live stream course. The ZOOM links for the live stream course will be included in the confirmation email. The course manual will be shipped directly to you 1-2 weeks before the course. *International registrants are discounted $30 since we do not ship manuals internationally, however you will be able to print the digital manual if you so choose. A digital version of the course manual will be added to your PRI account the week of the course. In addition, participants will receive access to the recording of the live stream course for 14 days to review the material, and re-watch any material that may have been missed due to connection issues. Those who attend in-person during a live streamed course will also receive access to the recording for 14 days. Extensions beyond this 14 day review are not available. ***Please note: In order to receive access to the recording for review, you must participate in person on the Live Stream course with your camera on for at least half of the course (7.5 hours). If you sign up for the course and do not participate in at least 7.5 hours of the live stream, you will not receive the recording and you will not be refunded. Also, once course manuals have been shipped (or the digital version has been added to your account), there will be no refunds for cancellations.***
Evaluate how the visual cortex, the spinal limbed locomotor circuits, and the cortical hemispheric dominance on handedness and chest wall respiratory function influence lower extremity sense, support and stability during forward locomotor movement.
Analyze how the human uses arms and hands for lateralized chest wall compression and decompression sense.
Illustrate the relationships between hemispatial, hemi-chest, upper extremity and lower extremity activity during all phases of forward locomotor movement.
Provide techniques and activities for individuals who have objective patterned locomotor limitations secondary to loss of eccentric control because of functional cortical predominance.
Delineate the influences of lateralized center of mass on recurring pelvic vertical displacement, lateral displacement, rotation, and tilt, and corresponding cadence of arm swings and leg steps.

Ron you continue to move us forward in our profession, expanding it, tying it in with other disciplines and other components we have not done on our own. Brilliant! | Live Stream, November 2024
I’m so grateful to have this information synthesized and put together from several authors Gibson, Hruska etc. I consider it a rare gift to our profession. | Live Stream, November 2024
Excellent course! This course really synthesized the concepts and their importance from other primary PRI courses into the basis of what humans need and require – FLM! I see the school-taught concept of “gait” so differently now and have gained applicable treatment strategies on how to improve my patient’s balance and FLM through 4 critical components. This is a necessary and complex movement strategy course for my practice, not another gait course! | Live Stream, May 2024
Amazing understanding and comprehension of the human body. I am so thankful for Ron’s knowledge and all he has shared to progress functional movement professionals. | Live Stream, May 2024
Thank you. Learning this has changed my life, my body, my breath, my nervous system. I feel like I still have only begun to understand it so love learning more every day and I am excited daily to share this with my clients. | Live Stream, May 2024
The content in the FLM course really helped to expand my understanding and ability to integrate everything I’ve learned (plus some new concepts, especially related to the visual system and the upper extremity) in previous PRI courses when considering upright forward movement! | Live Stream, May 2024
This course is PACKED with information. I have just begun to scrape the surface of what I need to in the way of reviewing the material to grasp “assessment”. | Live Stream, May 2024
This course gave me a thorough way to assess gait mechanics through all 4 major systems! | Live Stream, May 2024
The content in this course is powerful. It opened my eyes to looking at things differently when observing how people move throughout their environment. | Live Stream, November 2023
I found this course to be the quintessential PRI course! I love this course, and I think everyone should take this course. | Live Stream, November 2023
Excellent course! The material is presented in such a way that allows you to see the whole picture in regards to forward locomotor movement and treat patients accordingly. I am excited to take this material back to the clinic! | Live Stream, May 2023
I loved this course! By far my most favorite PRI course to date. | Live Stream, May 2023
Ron Hruska has done it again. His experience, thorough knowledge of the available research and relentless pursuit of increasing his knowledge AND rethinking current concepts is drastically needed in our understanding of human movement. Now, our treatment approach can more closely match what we see every day. Cannot praise this course enough. Ever since the first 15 minutes of day one, my mind has been running in circles and trying to absorb and apply the concepts. The INSTANT improvements and shifts I saw on Monday were mind blowing. I had a client that actually cried and said, “I feel like my old strong self again. I have not known her for decades. I feel like going on a run!” Please continue the wonderful work of PRI with Ron and Jenn heading the cause! | Live Stream, December 2022
Ron is extremely knowledgeable and is so brilliant!! His passion for teaching continues to amaze me. | Live Stream, December 2022
I loved the course! It is a tertiary course for a reason, but it’s taken a lot of concepts throughout the coursework that’s been offered over time and gave some new context and new “why’s”; difficult subject matter that was integrated and explained well! | Live Stream, May 2022
This course not only combined the previous PRI classes but was consistent with the NDT, PNF, Vestibular, motor learning theory, and gait courses I have attended.| Live Stream, May 2022
I have always known that we “follow our eyes”, but had always considered it in a forward direction (i.e. drifting forward as we look at a computer screen). This has opened my eyes to how much we are missing on the left. I am excited to see how many more people I can help with not only their pain, but also with balance, proprioception, coordination, motion illness, etc. | Live Stream, May 2022
Overall I felt it was an excellent course! I am continually amazed on how all the systems of the body are interconnected. Ron has an amazing ability to bring that to light in a Physical Therapy context. | Live Stream, November 2021
This is the best PRI course ever. I am very grateful I took my 1st PRI course 10 years ago. Ron is unreal. | Live Stream, November 2021
Nicely done. Thank you for focusing on the whole person not just an ailment – that is why I enjoy taking your courses. These courses have been helpful for me in teaching people that a problem does not occur in isolation. | Live Stream, November 2021
I loved this course. It blew my mind. So much information, so amazing, so excited. Game changer. Now I just have to practice the application and get some further mentorship on the information presented to understand it even better. | Live Stream, November 2021
Passionate, persuasive, and always a pleasure to hear Ron speak on a subject he knows so intimately. | Live Stream, May 2021
Mr. Ron Hruska always exceeds my expectations. | Live Stream, May 2021
