Intro Flashcards
Corrective Exercise Continuum
The systematic programming process used to address neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction using inhibitory, lengthening, activation, and integration techniques.
Inhibitory techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to reduce tension or decrease activity of overactive neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
first phase of corrective exercise continuum
inhibit phase
second phase of corrective exercise
lengthen phase
third phase of CEC
activate phase
fourth phase of CEC
integrate phase
what does phase one consist of?
myofascial techniques
what does phase 2 consist of?
-static stretching
-neuromuscular stretching
-dynamic stretching
what does phase 3 consist of?
-isolated strengthening
what does phase 4 consist of?
-integrated dynamic movement
Lengthening techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to increase the extensibility, length, and range of motion of neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
activation techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to reeducate or increase activation of underactive muscle tissues.
Integration techniques
Corrective exercise techniques used to retrain the collective synergistic function of all muscles through functionally progressive movements.
Regional Interdependence (RI) model
Assessment and intervention model used by clinicians based on the concept that the site of a patient’s primary complaint or symptoms is affected by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal regions.
An integrated assessment should include
-postural assessments
-movement assessments
-mobility assessments.
