Chapter 7 Flashcards
States that soft tissue models along the lines of stress
Davis’s law
Tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional mvmt patterns
Relative flexibility (leads to muscle imbalances)
Alteration of a muscle surrounding a joint
Muscle imbalance
Concept of muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist which inhibits its fxnl antagonist
(Tight psoas decrease the neural drive to the glutes)
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak inhibited prime mover. Psoas tight, decrease glute…hamstring will take over
Synergistic dominance
Simultaneous contraction of one muscle and relaxation of its antagonist
Reciprocal inhibition
Difference b/w muscle spindles and GTO
Muscle spindles detect change in length, cause contract
GTO detect change in tension, cause relaxation
prolonged Golgi tendon stimulation provides inhibitory action to the muscle spindles, this is called
Autogenic Inhibition
Normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow the full ROM of a joint
Flexibility
Three types of flexibility in the Flexibility Continuum. Name stretches performed in each and variables
Corrective- SMR; 30 seconds. Static; 1-3 sets 1 rep 30 sec
Active- SMR; 30 second; active isolated stretch; 1-2 sets, hold 1-2 seconds 5-10 reps
Functional -SMR; 30 seconds Dynamic 1 set 10-15 reps, 3-10 exercises
Flexibility that is designed to correct and improve muscle imbalances, done in Phase 1
Corrective
Flexibility that takes muscle to new length and uses it in a full ROM
Active
Establishes flexibility at higher and more realistic speeds
Functional
What occurs with SMR
Autogenic inhibition
Which type of flexibility uses reciprocal inhibition
