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
