What are the five massage strokes
effleurage, petrissage, friction, vibration, tapotement
This type of massage is considered stroking
effleurage
this type of massage is considered kneading
pestrissage
this is often used around joints and other areas where tissue is thin and on tissue that is especially unyielding such as scars, adhesions, muscle spasm, and fascia
friction
this massage method is also known as precussion, cupping, hacking, and pinching movements
tapotement

vibration
True or False: The greatest atrophy occurs in type I fibers
True
True or False: A muscle that is immobilized in a lengthened or neutral position tends to atrophy less
True
What type of exercise positively enhances mechanical properties of ligaments once immobilization has been removed
high frequency and short duration endurance exercise
These are in the joint capsules, ligaments, and skin and are sensitive to touch, tension, and possibly heat. These receptors are sensitive to change position to the joint and to the rate and direction of movement of the joint
Rufflinis corpuscles
these receptors are in the skin and responds to deep pressure
Pacinian corpuscles
these receptors are in the skin and activated by light touch
meissner corpuscles
these receptors are sensitive to mechanical, chemical or thermal energy
free nerve endings
_________ located in the muscle they are sensitive to changes in the length of that muscle
muscle spindles
__________ these are found at the musculotendinous junction and are sensitive to changes in muscle tension
Golgi tendon organ
