Ch 9 Flashcards
Ability to maintain or control joint movement or position
Achieved by synergistic actions of the muscles, ligament and joint capsule and the neuromuscular system
_ must never be compromised
Joint stability
Joint mobility must not be compromised
Range of uninhibited movement around a joint or body segment
_ must never be compromised
Joint mobility
Joint stability must not be compromised
Specific movement of joint surfaces- rolling, gliding
Arthrokinematics
Movement efficiency=
Proximal stability promotes distal mobility
Lumbar spine is more _ than _
Stable - protecting low back from injury
Somewhat mobile - 15 degrees rotation
Thoracic spine is _
More mobile - allow for movement in upper extremities
Scapulothoracic is more_
Stable - rib cage and scapula for pushing and pulling
Foot stability varies during
4
Gait cycle -
Stability during push offs
Mobility - heel strike to accept body weight
ankle pronates and everts
foot forfeits some stability for MOBILITY to absorb impact forces

Stability
When Mobility is compromised the joint will seek to
Achieve desired ROM in another plane
Client performs birddog with hip extension and lacks flexibility in hip flexors in sagittal plane
Extended leg and hips externally rotate in the transverse place
Produces compensated movement pattern
_joints may need to compromise some stability to facilitate the level of mobility needed
Give example
Adjacent
Client with kyphosis attempts to extend thoracic spine an increase in lordosis occurs as a compensation for the lack of thoracic mobility
Lack of mobility contributed to 5
Repetitive movements Poor posture Side dominance Poor exercise technique Imbalanced strength training programs
Muscle imbalances alter 2
Physiological and neurological properties of muscles
Leads to dysfunctional movement
Inability to maintain muscle balance and neutrality at the joint
Movement compensations
Periods of inactivity when joints are held passively in shortened positions =
Example
Muscle shortening
Long periods of sitting without hip extension shortens hip flexors
Law of facilitation
Body achieves desired movement by path of least resistance
As the agonist _ the antagonist _
Shortens
Lengthens
relationship between actin and myosin (contractile proteins) and their force generating capacity
length-tension relationship
slight stretch of sarcomere beyond normal resting length, increases the spatial arrangement between the muscles contracting proteins and
increases force generating capacity
stretching the sarcomere beyond optimal length or shortening the sacromere beyond resting length =
decreases muscle’s force generating capacity
causes of muscle shortening 4
immobilization
passive shortening
trauma
aging
loss in the number of sarcomeres within the myofibril of the muscle fiber due to
muscle shortening
muscle has good force-generating capacity in shortened position, it will demonstrate:
reduced force generating capacity in normal resting length and lengthened positions
muscle can shorten in _ when held passively in shortened positions without being stretched or used through full ROM
2-4 weeks
to restore force generating capacity of a tight muscle
passive stretching or elongating will gradually add sarcomeres back in line to help restore the muscles normal resting length
lengthened muscles _ sarcomeres in series and demonstrate _force generating capacities in lengthened positions
add
greater
lengthened muscle demonstrate _force generating capacities in normal and shortened positions
reduced
to restore normal resting length to lengthened muscle
strengthening the muscle in normal resting position
protracted shoulders - exercise to restore normal resting length 2
perform high back rows INITIALLY with isometric contraction in a good postual position
perform rows with limited ROM
Muscles that provide opposing, directional, or contralateral pulls at joints to achieve efficient movement is termed
2 examples
Force couples
Pelvis - if one muscle is tight pelvic position is changed. Change in pelvis affects the position of the spine above and the femur below
Glenohumeral joint during arm abduction- collaborative action of rotator cuff and deltoid
Hypertonic muscles require _ to activate contraction
Smaller, weaker nerve impulse
Hypertonic muscles decrease the neural drive to the opposing muscle (antagonist) through
Reciprocal inhibition
Reciprocal inhibition of the opposing muscle group weakens the antagonist
Ability to generate adequate force at the joint is decreased
The body has to call on other muscles at the joint
This is called:
Synergistic dominance
Order in which to reestablish stability in the body: 5
Lumbar spine - core - COM center of mass
Pelvic and thoracic spine
Scapulothoracic region
Distal extremities
Static balance
Stabilizing muscles contain more _ muscle fibers…give example
Muscle used for joint movement and generating large forces contain _ fibers …these muscle are suited more for
Type 1 slow twitch …core muscle that protect spine
Type II fast twitch
Strength and power training - high intensity, low volume
Pre-exercise
Deconditioned client with poor flexibility and muscle imbalance 2
Self myofascial release
Static stretches
Pre-exercise
Conditioned client with good flexibility and muscle balance 2
Self myofascial release
Dynamic stretching
Pre-exercise
Performance athlete with good skill and flexibility 2
Dynamic stretching
Ballastic stretching
3 post exercise stretches
Myofascial release
PNF
Static stretches
client performs small, continuous back and forth movements on a foam roller
ares to cover
time
reduces _ in underlying muscle and improves _
self myofascial release
2-6 inches
30-60 seconds
tightness, ROM
resets the proprioceptive mechanisms of soft tissue
self myofascial release
stretch should be taken to the point of tension
4 reps
hold 15 to 60 seconds
static stretches
client performs hold-relax stretch
hold the isometric contraction for
PNF
6 seconds minimum
this type of stretching is effective for clients participating in sports that require ballistic activities
dynamic stretching
principle that states GTO inhibits a muscle spindle response
autogenic inhibition
when stretching, low grade muscle response decreases due to gradual desensitization of muscle spindle activity as the duration of the stretch progresses
stress-relaxation response
lengthening that occurs when a stretch force is applied
creep
2 reasons why ROM increases after acute static stretching
reduction in stress -relaxation response and creep
muscle spindle reestablishes stretch threshold again _% of recovery within the first _
