ICP FInal (Exam 3 Cards) Flashcards
Quantitative Measures
P = F * D/T or Power = Force * Distance/ Time
Mechanical model of Plyos
Elastic Energy is stored throughout the eccentric action, then released by concentric action
Series Elastic Component (SEC)
The workhorse, when stretched this stores elastic energy that increases the force produced. The tendons that are in series with the muscle.
Contractile Component (CC)
Actin/Myosin/Cross bridges, primary source of muscle force during concentric muscle action
What are the 4 components of the Parallel Elastic Component?
Perimysium, Epimysium, Endomysium, and Sarcolemma
What does the Parallel Elastic Component (PEC) do?
Exert a passive force with an unstimulated muscle stretch
If the concentric phase does not occur immediately or if the ECC phase is too long or the ROM is too great, what happens?
The stored Energy dissipates and lost to heat
The change in force-velocity characteristics of the muscle’s contractile components caused by stretch
Potentiation
Involuntary response to an external stimulus stretches the muscle
Stretch Reflex
Intrafusal muscle fibers that react to stretch, cause reflexive contraction, and response potentiates the activity of agonist muscles causing increase of force produced
Muscle Spindles
When extrafusal muscle spindals contract, what do they do?
Muscle spindles are unloaded, dorsal and ventral horn reflexes.
Reflextivity increases what?
Spindle Stimulation
According to Neurophysiological model, if the concentric action does not occur immediately or the ROM is too great
The stretch reflex is negated
A combination of the mechanical and neurophysiological model split into 3 phases: Eccentric -> Ammortization -> Concentric
Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
The concentric phase is actually the weakest form of muscle contraction, EXCEPT during plyos due to what?
The stretch reflex
Stretch of the Agonist, Elastic E is stored in the SEC and muscle spindles are stimulated
Eccentric Phase of the Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
Pause between Phase 1 and 2, Type 1a afferent neurons synapse with a motor neurons and those a motor neurons transmit signals to agonist muscle group
Ammortization phase of the Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
Shortening of the Agonist, Elastic energy is released from the SEC, a motor neurons stimulates the agonist muscle group
Concentric phase of the Stretch Shortening Cycle (SSC)
FT 2b is recruited at what % intensity?
30-80%
2a and 2b are recruited at what % intensity?
80%
Clinical Guidelines for Plyo programming
Patient Education, Intensity/Volume, Age, Recovery, Abilities, Periodization Progression (Time-Based/Criterion-Based Healing Rehab)
DOMS for Plyos
Increased soreness 7-10 days after initiation, 80% max effort to stimulate the IIa and IIb FT fibers, ECC load 10-40% greater than concentric load, plyos cause microtrauma to the SEC and release hydroxypropoline (a major component of fibrillar collagen of all types)
Amount of stress placed on the tissue, controlled by the exercise/drill (factors include height, distance, and load)
Intensity of Plyos
Reps/Sets
Volume
As intensity increases, volume does what?
Decrease
What are an appropriate volumes for each experience level for Plyos
Beginner = 80-100
Intermediate = 100 - 120
Expert = 120-140
Factors affecting intensity
Point of contact (Single Leg or Double leg), Speed (higher speed = higher intensity), Height (Higher the center of gravity, the greater the force), Body weight (Greater the weight = greater stress on tissue)
Does Age determine plyometric programming?
Does ability affect plyometric programming?
No and No, any age and any ability level can do plyos. You have to cater them to your audience.
How does power, endurance, and timing affect recovery when doing plyos?
Power - For every 1 second of work, 5-10 seconds of rest.
Endurance - Decreased work to rest ratio, so for every 1 second of work means 10-15 seconds of rest.
Timing - Utilize physiological knowledge and timetables to understand timing
Contraindications for Plyos
Laxity, Inflammation, and Soft tissue limitations (Base strength or foundation)
How do plyos increase Neuromuscular coordination
Train the nervous system to make movements more automatic.
Identify desired participation and function (using a Pt-centered hx and patient reports), Determine assessment evidence (using PC and CC evidence), and Plan interventions that lead to those desired results
Goal development approach steps
Managing by-products of injury and healing, Protecting tissue from further damage and correct neural program errors, Restoring ROM/tissue length, Activating muscles and restoring motor control, strengthening muscles
Impairments of building an intervention plan
Neuromuscular control/balance/and coordination, functional activities (skills to building activities), and sport specific activity
Impairments of Function & Performance
Tissue/Structures Affected -> Determine severity of injury -> Determine stage of healing -> Determine irritability & stability of tissue/structure affected -> determine disablement -> develop goals both time and criterion based -> Effect of the intervention
Steps of an Intervention Plan & Progression
Injury to the 5th Metatarsal
Jones Fx
What are the 3 zones of a Jones Fx and what do they indicate?
Zone 1 - Tuberosity avulsion fx found most distally
Zone 2 - Classic “Jones Fx” area, at the metatarsal in the middle
Zone 3 - Proximal Diaphyseal stress fx
How do you treat a Jones Fx according to the zone it occured in?
Zone 1 - Treat conservatively (boot)
Zone 2 - Delyaed union and nonunion when treated conservatively
Zone 3 - Protracted healing and non-union
Conservative management for each Zone
Zone 1 - Weight Bearing as Tolerated in boot for 6-8 weight
Zone 2/3 - 6 weeks non-weight bearing and then 6 weeks with boot with gradual weight bearing
Surgical Management for each zone
Zone 1 - No
Zone 2/3 - Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) (better outcomes in Zone 2 and 3 in athletes)
