Final Flashcards
What does zero mean in MMT?
No activity
What does T mean in MMT?
Trace
What does P mean for MMT?
Poor
What does F mean for MMT?
Fair
What does G mean for MMT?
Good
What does N mean for MMT?
Normal
How long should you apply resistance over in MMT?
Gradually for 2-3 sec
Why do you gradually add resistance in MMT?
Allows for pt motor units to recruit and stabilize
Will someone who has a contracture be able to have a 3 score in MMT?
No - more so 0-2, but could have a 3 or higher WAR
What does WAR mean?
Within available range
What does 2- mean?
Able to move through partial range in minimized gravity position
What does 2+ mean?
Partial range against gravity OR full AROM in gravity minimized position and holds against pressure
What does 2+ mean for PF?
WB complete with partial heel raise OR performed supine and pt can take max resistance (full AROM)
What is the definition of strength?
Greatest measurable F that can be exerted by a muscle or group to overcome R during 1 max effort
Low reps in short time period
What does power mean?
F x distance/time; rate of performing work
Power training
What is the definition of endurance?
Ability of muscle to contract repeatedly against a load (R)
Light load for many reps or sustained muscle contraction over an extended period of time
What is the Overload Principle?
Load that exceeds metabolic capacity of the muscle must be applied
ST (strength training): R is increased, add time component, and manipulate R
ET (endurance training): time of muscle contraction must be applied, high reps, hold position by increased time but not necessarily R or load
What is the SAID Principle?
Specificity of training
- Endurance vs strength; mode, velocity, joint angle
- Transfer of training: significantly less than effects of specificity: FUNCTIONAL
- Body systems adapt to stress
- Breaking down task
- Trial and error
What is the Reversibility Principle?
- Begins in 1-2 weeks
- Incorporate gains into ADLs early in rehab program
- Muscles can atrophy within 48 hours at the cellular level
- Use it or lose it
What factors influence tension generation in skeletal muscle?
Energy stores and blood supply - contract, generate tension, and resist fatigue
How do muscles recover from exercise?
- Microtrauma tears - need rest to rebuild
- Between 24-48 hours
What should the rest period be for power exercise?
More rest because body needs to perform at a higher level
What should rest periods be for endurance exercises?
Shorter rest periods for more activity
When do neural adaptations occur?
-Increased EMG activity within the first 4-8 weeks
What are skeletal muscle adaptations?
- Hypertrophy
- Hyperplasia
- Muscle fiber adaptation
When does hypertrophy occur?
-Occurs after 4-8 weeks or 2-3 weeks with high intensity
What is hyperplasia?
Increase in the number of muscle cells
What are type I muscle fibers?
Slow twitch
IE Endurance
What are type II muscle fibers?
Fast twich
IE. Sports
Can type I turn to type II?
Yes, but not vice versa
What are adaptations of CT?
Tendons and ligaments increase tensile strength
CT in muscle thickens
Bone density increases
What are determinants of resistance exercise?
Alignment Stabilization Intensity Volume Exercise order Frequency Rest interval Duration Mode Velocity Periodization Integration into functional activities
What is intensity for resistance exercise?
- Submax vs max ex load
- Initial ex load (amount of resistance) and documentation
- Rep max - use rep max
- Alternate methods of determining baseline strength or initial exercise load - IE. dynamometer and percentage of body weight
- Training zone
What is a beginners training zone?
30-40%
What is a highly trained individuals training zone?
80%
What is a healthy, untrained individuals training zone?
40-70%
What is volume in resistance exercise?
Total reps during session x intensity
What is the average volume of an untrained adult?
Load of 75%
1 RM
Able to complete 10 reps before rest
What is the common set recommendation?
2-4 sets
What are benefits to sets of an exercise?
Improve strength and endurance
What if fatigue is not experienced after reps are completed?
Intensity is not appropriate
How do you improve muscle endurance?
Increase reps first and then load in small increments or time
What is the proper exercise order?
- Large Mm before small Mm
- Multijoint before single
- High intensity before lower
How do you determine frequency?
It depends
How do you determine duration?
Time to achieve goal vs maintaining optimal function
What is the recommended rest interval?
- Dynamic rest - alternate muscle groups
- Integrate rest into exercise
What determines the mode of exercise?
- Type of muscle contraction
- Positioning - WB vs NWB
- Forms of resistance - manual, constant or variable, BW or partial BW
- Energy systems
- Range of movement
- Mode of exercise and application to function
What is periodization training?
Peak performance - intensity, volume, frequency, and rest vary
How do you integrate training to functional activities?
- Balance of stability and mobility
- Strength, power, and endurance
- Task specific movement patterns with resistance
What is DOMS?
Delayed onset muscle soreness
What is happening during DOMS?
- Microtrauma is healing
- Empty stores - emptying energy
- Lactic acid partially
- Tell pt “your muscles have not worked like this in awhile. We expect some soreness to happen, but we do not want an increase in your pain. Pain such as burning, tingling, or intense pain”
What is an isokinetic exercise?
- Constant velocity, but resistance and force vary
- Can accommodate to fatigue - still perform despite F
- Accommodate painful arc of motion
How do you implement resistance exercise?
-Warm up
-Placement of resistance
-Direction of resistance
-Stabilization
-Intensity of exercise/amount of R
Verbal/written instructions
-Monitor pt - before, during, and after
-Cool down (~2-3 min)
What are the precautions to resistance exercise?
- Intensity - IE. Osteoporosis
- Reps/sets - progression
- Type - high impact, velocity, spine and hip positions
- Balance
- Group exercise
What are contraindications to resistance exercise?
- Pain - severe during AROM, MMT, or does not decrease with reduced R
- Inflammation - acute for dynamic, static is okay, inflammatory disease
- Severe cardiopulmonary disease - IE. post MI or CABG (no R for at least 5 weeks post)
What are mechanical R exercises?
-External R applied by equipment
