Final Flashcards
Effect of a stimulus continues after the stimulus stops
Afterdischarge
Succession of weak stimuli occurring within a short period of time (high frequency)
Temporal summation
Weak stimuli from different areas of body applied simultaneously
Spatial summation
A spreading and increased strength of response
Irradiation
Contraction of muscles is accompanied by a simultaneous inhibition of their antagonist
Reciprocal inhibition
Optimal resistance
Heavier resistance at mid-range and heaviest at end range
Three parts to a verbal command
Preparation
Action
Correction
Goals of traction
Aid in elongation
Facilitate motion
Resist
Goals of approximation
Stabilization
Weight bearing
Resistance
Goals of rhythmic initiation
Initiation of movement Coordination Normalize rate of movement Teach the motion Help patient relax
Concentric, isotonic, then eccentric
Combination of isotonics
Goals of combination of isotonics
Coordination
Increase AROM
Strength
Functional training
Changing from agonist to antagonist without a pause or relaxation
Dynamic reversals
Goals of dynamic reversals
Increase AROM
Strengthen
Coordination
Reduce fatigue
Goals of repeated stretch
Increase AROM and PROM
Increase strength
Prevent fatigue
Guide motion in desired direction
Contract relax - Direct treatment
Contract antagonist
Contract relax - Indirect treatment
Contract agonist
