Flexibility Flashcards
_________ = excessive movement at a joint, given age and activity
hypermobility
________ = excessive ROM for which there is no protective muscular control
instability
What is considered hypermobility on the Beighton scale for adults? For children?
Adults: greater or equal to 6/9
Kids: greater or equal to 7/9
_______ ________ = disruption of the passive stabilizers and decreased structural integrity
mechanical instability
______ _______ = lack of neuromuscular control of the joint during activities
functional instability
What are the 3 systems in Panjabi’s spinal stability system?
- Passive subsystem
- Active subsystem
- Control subsystem
______ _____ = area where there is very little internal resistance to motion
neutral zone
In the _______ zone there is significant resistance to movement
elastic
Form closure = ____________
osteoligamentous
Force closure = _________
contractile
What are the 4 components of the integrated model of function?
- Form closure
- Force closure
- Motor control
- Emotions
What are 2 causes of hypermobility?
- Traumatic
2. Non-traumatic
What are 4 assessments you would want to complete in a pt with a hx of hyper mobility?
- AROM
- PROM (and end feel)
- Passive accessory glides (and end feel)
- Stability tests
What are two steps in treatment of hypermobility?
- Mobilize hypo mobile tissues or joints
2. Activate and “strengthen” to stabilize the hypermobile/unstable area
What are two purposes of bracing and taping?
- Restrictive
2. Proprioceptive
_________ = decreased mobility or restricted motion
hypomobility
What is one of the largest factors contributing to hypomobility?
prolonged immobilization
___________ = adaptive shortening of the muscle-tendon and other soft tissues that cross or surround a joint resulting in significant resistance to passive or active stretch and limitation of ROM
contracture
Contracture is described in terms of the action of the ________ muscle.
shortened
