Question 5

True or false:
With stripping, you move along the muscle fibres and this allows the muscle to relax. The relaxation is mediated through GTO reflex.

Question 18

Muscle mobilization works on only few muscles. The muscles it does work on all have the same basic anatomy. What are the two characteristics of the muscles?

Answer 18

Muscles are long and have no attachment sites between the specific origin & insertion site.

Question 19

Which muscles is it possible to perform muscle mobilization?

Answer 19

Gastrocnemius and rectus femoris

Question 20
