Question 0

Capability to be elongated or stretched

Answer 0

Extensibility

Question 1

The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full range of motion of a joint

Answer 1

Flexibility

Question 2

The combination of flexibility and the nervous system’s ability to control this range of motion efficiently

Answer 2

Dynamic range of motion

Question 3

The ability of the nervous system to allow antagonists,agonists, and stabilizers to work synergistically to produce, reduce, and it dramatically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all three planes of motion

Answer 3

Neuromuscular efficiency

Question 4

Predictable patterns of the muscle imbalances

Answer 4

Postural distortion patterns

Question 5

The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns

Answer 5

Relative flexibility

Question 6

Alteration of muscles length surrounding a joint

Answer 6

Muscle imbalances

Question 7

This simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of its antagonist to allow movement to take place

Answer 7

Reciprocal inhibitions

Question 8

The concept of muscle inhibition, caused by tight agonist which inhibits its functional antagonist

Answer 8

Altered reciprocal inhibition

Question 9

The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when inappropriate muscles take over the function of the week inhibited prime mover

Answer 9

Synergistic dominance

Question 10

The motion of joints in the body

Answer 10

Arthrokinematics

Question 11

Occurs when the joint is not working properly. Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint

Answer 11

Arthrokinetic dysfunction

Question 12

The process by which neuronal impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing any inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles

Answer 12

Autogenic inhibition

Question 13

Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stress on the body

Answer 13

Pattern overload

Question 14

States that soft tissue models along the lines of stress

Answer 14

Davis’s law

Question 15

The process of passively taking the muscle to a point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds

Answer 15

Static stretching

Question 16

The process of using agonist and synergist to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion

Answer 16

Active-isolated stretching

Question 17

1. uses the force of production of the muscles and the body’s momentum to take the joint through the full available range of motion 2. The active extension of muscle, using force production and momentum, to move the joint through the full available range of motion

Answer 17

Dynamic stretching
