BIG Schematic Flashcards
What are the 2 types of impairment
- Tissue Length inadequacy
2. Contractile tissue inadequacy
What are the 3 potential problems with tissue length inadequacy
- Decreased capsulolig extensibility
- Decreased capsulolig restraint
- Decreased muscle flexibility
What are the 3 potential problems with contractile tissue inadequacy
- Tissue reactivity
- Decreased motor control
- Decreased contractility
How do you address decreased capsulolig extensibility
Long duration stretches
What types of stretches are used for decreased capsulolig extensibility (2)
- Creep
2. Stress relaxtion
What are the 2 potential causes of decreased muscle flexibility
- Tight muscle
2. Increased tone
How do you address tight muscle
Short duration stretch
How long should you stretch a muscle
30-60 seconds
How do you address increased tone
PNF techniques
How do you address decreased capsulolig restraint (3)
- Proactive position avoidance
- Increased muscle performance
- Orthotics, taping, splinting
How do you address muscle performance (3)
- Increase force duration
- Increase force magnitude
- Improve timing
What do all the ways to enhance muscle performance do (3)
- Increase joint compression
- Decrease arthrokinematic slide
- Increase osteokinematic control
What causes tissue reactivity (2)
- Tension load intolerance
2. Compression load intolerance
How do address tension or compression load intolerance (2)
- High load avoidance
2. Cyclic low load
How do you improve decreased muscle control
Quality motor practice
How do you improve decreased contractility (2)
- Intensity
2. Duration
