Chapter 16 - Guidelines for Designing Flexibility Programs Flashcards
Hypermobility
Extreme ROM accompanied by mild to moderate-intensity pain.
Static Stretching
Static stretching consists of slowly moving to minor discomfort and then holding that stretch.
Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic stretching involves moving parts of your body through a full ROM while gradually increasing the reach and/or speed of movement in a controlled manner.
PNF
PNF stretching involves both the stretching and contraction of the targeted muscle group.
Passive Stretching
The client assumes
a position and then either holds it with some other part of the body or with the assistance of a partner or some other apparatus.
Ballistic Stretching
This approach involves a bouncing or jerky type movement to reach the muscle’s ROM limits.
Valsalva Maneuver
Air expiration against a closed glottis.
Arthritis
Inflammation of a joint resulting in damage to the joint structure.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune disease in which the body attacks and destroys the joint surface.
Osteoarthritis
A chronic degenerative condition that develops over time and is believed to result from either abnormal or excessive wear on “normal” cartilage or normal wear on “abnormal” cartilage.
Osteoporosis
A disease in which bone mineral density is reduced, bone microarchitecture deteriorates, and the bone becomes fragile and very susceptible to fracture.
