Chapter 1 Flashcards
How much of the adult population is affected by low back pain
nearly 80%
How many work related injuries involving the trunk involve the lower back
more than 60%
What might be a cause of hip weakness?
ankle sprain
Whats the most common sports related injury
ankle sprain
How many ACL injuries are non-contact
70-75%
What does ACL stand for?
Anterior Cruciate Ligament
What the most common shoulder pain
Shoulder impingement
What is Corrective Exercise?
The systematic process of identifying a neuromusculoskeletal dysfuncion, developing a plan of action and implementing an integrated corrective strategy
What is the three step process for Corrective Exercise?
- ) Identify the problem (integrated assessment)
- ) Solve the problem (corrective program design)
- ) Implement the solution (exercise technique)
What is the Corrective Exercise Continuum?
The systematic programming process used to address neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction through the use of inhibitory, lengthening, activation and integration techniques.
Inhibitory techniques? Their use?
Self-myofascial release (SMR)
Inhibitory techniques are used to release tension or decrease activity of overactive tissues
Lengthening techniques? Their use?
Static Stretching
used to increase the extensibility, length and range of motion(ROM) of tissues
Activation techniques? Their use?
Isolated strengthening exercises
used to reeducate or increase activation of underactive tissues
Integration techniques? Their use?
Integrated dynamic movements
used to retrain the collective synergistic function of all muscles through functionally progressive movements
Common reasons for muscle imbalances today?
people work in offices
longer work hours
remain seated for long periods of time
better technology limits need for activity and movement
