Exercises

Question 1

how long to hold static stretch

Answer 1

30s-1min

if very inflexible- 6-10min

Question 2

proprioneruomuscular facilitation

Answer 2

a stretch to stimulate relaxation

tricks muscle spindles (type Ia)

Question 3

agonist

Answer 3

the mover muscle

prime and assistant

Question 4

antagonist

Answer 4

oppose action of agonist (necessary for joint stability

Question 5

synergy

Answer 5

cooperative role of two of more muscles to produce same action

Question 6

helping synergist

Answer 6

muscle with common action in one plane and opposite action in another plane
eg. flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris- wrist flexion and ulnar deviation

Question 7

what does EMG measure

Answer 7

voltage difference between 2 sites

Question 8

types of resistance

Answer 8

gravity
inertia
friction
fluid
elastic
electronically controlled

Question 9

resistance training using gravity

Answer 9

free weights

pulleys

Question 10

signs of fatigue

Answer 10

sweating
distraction
slowed performance
increased rate of respiration
decreased ROM
inability to complete prescribed # reps

Question 11

exercises to increase strength

Answer 11

high resistance, low reps

Question 12

exercises to increase endurance

Answer 12

low load, high resistance

Question 13

exercises to increase ROM

Answer 13

AROM
PROM
AAROM
passive stretching (hold 30sec)

Question 14

isotonic resistance exercise

Answer 14

3+ - 5 MMT

1. 10x @50% max
2. 10x @ 75% max
3. 10x @100% max

Question 15

isotonic active exercise

Answer 15

poor - fair muscle grades (2-3MMT)

ROM with no resistance

Question 16

AAROM exercises

Answer 16

1- 3- MMT

pt moves through available ROM, therapist assists with the rest

Question 17

PROM exercises

Answer 17

0-1 MMT
therapist moves pt through ROM
used to prevent contracture, adhesion, deformity

Question 18

passive stretch exercises

Answer 18

therapist moves joint thru ROM and holds at end point
should be no residual pain when stretching stops
used when there is loss of ROM and stretching is not contraindicated

Question 19

active stretch exercise

Answer 19

pt uses force of agonist to stretch antagonist

used when there is loss of ROM and stretching is not contraindicated

Question 20

isometric exercise without resistance

Answer 20

1 - 5 MMT

used to maintain strength when joint movement is not possible or contraindicated

Question 21

isometric exercise with resistance

Answer 21

3+ - 5 MMT
isometric contraction against resistance
used when joint movement is contraindicated but muscle strength must be increased or maintained
