“The development of rolling serves as the foundation for strength and neuromuscular integration from which other complex movements can build.”(Hoogenboom & Voight, 2015)
The rolling patterns can function as a basic assessment of the ability to shift weight, rotate, cross the midline, and coordinate movements of the extremities and the core, especially when comparing between sides.
Within the SFMA system, rolling is used to assess fundamental motor control when breakouts reveal a stability/motor control dysfunction. This differentiates motor control in higher positions (off the ground) which require higher demand than fundamental positions (on the ground).
