muscle weakness
impaired postural control
impaired endurance

Question 25

hypermobility

Answer 25

excessive movement around a joint

Question 26

instability

Answer 26

excessive joint movement without muscular control

Question 27

spinal stabilization guidelines:

Answer 27

kinesthetic awareness first. activation- isometric holding. extremity motions- progressive limb loading. increase endurance and strength. use manual resistance. develop transition stabilization. perturbation.

methods of activation for cervical spine

Answer 29

set to 20 mmhg with activation, progressively increase by 2 mmh up to 30mmhg.

Question 30

PNF abbreviation

Answer 30

proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

Question 31

PNF concepts

Answer 31

mobility, stability, control mobility and skill

Question 32

what is PNF?

Answer 32

manual methods of promoting the response of neuromuscular systems. methods are employed for altered or inefficient patterns of motion or posture

Question 33

indications for PNF

Answer 33

impaired mobility impaired muscle performance impaired endurance impaired balance/stability impaired posture pain impairments

Question 34

body positioning and mechanics for PNF

Answer 34

stand in diagonal plane whenever possible. forearms will move within plane. manual contacts: maximize to decrease pressure, specific to direction

Question 35

verbal and visual cueing

Answer 35

clear and concise. begin by providing information about full response. change to more simple cues for subsequent reps. alter tone according to goal. have pt follow movement with eyes.

Question 36

manual contact and maximal resistance

Answer 36

resistance to motion enhances muscle activation. manual contact always on the muscle contracting. the direction, quality and quantity of resistance are adjusted according to goals. resistance should allow full ROM.

Question 37

approximation and traction

Answer 37

enhance muscle performance prior to treatment.

Question 38

traction

Answer 38

inhibit muscles around the joint

Question 39

approximation

Answer 39

facilitate muscles around the joint
