Concentric contractions in both directions of PNF pattern
Slow reversal of antagonist
Add an isometric component to the reversal in the weakned range of PNF pattern
Slow reversal hold of antagonists
At the end of the concentric agonist range of movement, reverse direction of movement, while facilitating an eccentric contraction of the agonist
Agonist reversal
For improvement of isometric strength and stability, primarily of the postural muscles of trunk or limbs; Patient holds position as resistance is alternated from one direction to the opposite direction; No joint movement should occur
Alternating isometrics
refers to the muscle opposite the range-limiting target muscle
agonist
refers to the range-limiting muscle
antagonist
To perform this procedure, the patient concentrically contracts the muscle opposite the range-limiting muscle (agonist) and then holds the end range position for at least several seconds
Agonist contraction stretching technique
What is the physiologic basis of agonist contract procedure?
When the agonist is activated and contracts concentrically, the antagonist is reciprocally inhibited
To perform this procedure, move limb to the point that tissue resistance is felt in the range-limiting target m. Then have the pt perform a resisted, pre stretch isometric contraction of the range limiting muscle followed by voluntary relaxation of that m. and an immediate concentric contraction of the agonist m.
hold relax agonist contraction stretching technique
The range limiting target m is first lengthened to the point of tissue resistance. The pt then performs a pre-stretch, end-range, isometric contraction (~5 s) followed by voluntary relaxation of the range limiting target m. The limb is then passively moved into the new range
Hold relax stretching technique
- note: rotators of the limb (i.e., shoulder m’s) can contract concentrically while all other muscle groups should contract isometrically
What is the physiologic evidence that supports HR stretching technique?
decrease in EMG activity (due to autogenic inhibition) following the sustained pre stretch isometric contraction of the muscle to be lengthened
When is passive range of motion indicated?
- In regions where there is acute, inflamed tissue
- when a patient is not able or supposed to actively move a segment of the body (comatose, paralyzed or complete bed rest)
When is AROM indicated?
- when a patient is able to contract the m actively and move a body segment
- Assist AROM is used when pt is weak - allows m to be used at full firing to build strength
- used on regions above and below immobilized segment to maintain the areas in as normal a condition as possible
- can be used for aerobic conditioning program
What are precautions and contraindications to range of motion exercises?
- when motion is disruptive to the healing process
2. when pt response or the condition is life-threatening
What treatment should be used in acute stage of healing?
PROM
What treatment should be used in early subacute stage of healing?
AAROM, Isometrics
What treatment should be used in late subacute and chronic stage of healing?
Stretching
What are the clinical signs of the inflammatory stage and what are the PT goals and intervention?
Signs: inflammation and pain before tissue resistance
PT goals and intervention:
-Protection phase
1. control effects of inflammation (RICE)
2. prevent deleterious effects of rest (nondestructive movement: PROM, massage, m. setting with caution)
What are the clinical signs of the proliferation, repair, and healing stage and what are the PT goals and intervention?
Signs: decreasing inflammation, pain synchronous with tissue resistance
PT goals and intervention:
- controlled motion phase
1. develop mobile scar (selective stretching, mobilization/ manipulation of restrictions)
2. Promote healing (nondestructive active resistive, OC and CC stabilization, m. endurance, and cardiopulm endurance exercises, carefully progressed)
What are the clinical signs of the maturation and remodeling stage and what are the PT goals and intervention?
Signs: absence of inflammation, pain after tissue resistance
PT goals and intervention:
- Return to function phase
1. increase tensile quality of scar (progressive strengthening and endurance exercises)
2. Develop fxn’l independence (fxn’l exercises and specificity drills)
What is the intervention used for chronic inflammation/ cumulative trauma syndromes?
non stressful PROM
What are the signs of excessive stress with exercise or activities?
- soreness that does not decrease after 4 hours and not resolved after 24 hours
- pain that comes on early or is increased over the previous session
- progressively increased feelings of stiffness and decreased ROM
- Swelling, redness and warmth
- progressive weakness over several exercise sessions
- decreased fxn’l usage of involved part
What is a Grade I distraction? Grade II? Grade III?
Grade I = initial joint separation, small amplitude with no stress on capsule
Grade II = to point of resistance, tightening capsule tissue
Grade III = applied beyond tissue resistance, stretching capsule
