Flexibility Flashcards
hyper mobility
excess movement at joint/ length of tissue
instability
excessive ROM with no protective mm control
Beighton Scale
Hypermobility out of 9
Adult 6/9
Kids 7/9
mechanical instability
disruption of passive stabilizers and decreased structural integrity
functional instability
lack of nearo control of joints
static (passive) stabilizers
bone, cart, labrum, ligs
dynamic (active) stabilizers
mm, tendon
neural control
foce and motion in ligs, mm
Causes of hypermobilty
trauma, non trauma (genitic)
Assessing hyper mobility
history, AROM, PROM, stability tests, end feels
Treatment of hypermoblity
mobilize (massage, stretch, IMS), activate / strengthen
education
motor control
support device (brace0
Stablization exercises hypermobilty
facilitate co contraction, provide feedback and focus on quality
Purpose bracing
restrict, proprio
