Q

Why isometric exercise? (5)

A
  1. Minimize muscle atrophy when joint movement is not possible
  2. Activate muscles to begin to re-establish neuromuscular control
  3. Develop postural and joint stability
  4. Improve muscular strength when dynamic RT could compromise joint integrity or cause pain
  5. Develop static muscular strength at particular points of ROM (work on the gap where injuries occur)

24
Q

Lengthening of muscle while controlling against a resistance/force
Decelerates body segments
Shock absorber

A

Eccentric

25
Q

T or F: more injuries occur at concentric motions

A

FALSE
Eccentric motions

26
Q
  • Involves change in muscle length
  • Constant resistance throughout the exercises
  • Speed of movement will change
A

Isotonic activity

27
Q
  • Involves change in muscle length
  • Velocity is controlled and maintained at a specific speed of movement
  • Amount of resistance provided to the muscle varies as the muscle goes through a range
A

Isokinetic activity

28
Q

Characteristics of isokinetic exercises (5)

A

Can train reciprocal muscles
Compressive forces on the joint are LESS with faster velocities than at slow velocities
Patient can still perform exercise even if fatigued
Patient is able to eliminate painful arc
Speeds available in sport is more than in machine

29
Q

Type of resistance exercise is chosen dependent on what? (5)

A
  • Extent of impairments
  • Stage of tissue healing
  • Condition of joints and their tolerance to compression and movement
  • General physical and cognitive abilities of the patient
  • Patient’s goals
30
Q

What happens if you put the patient into combination movement too earl in rehab process?

A

Compensation from muscles around it so not strengthening the muscle targeted

31
Q

Positioning for RT : Weight bearing/CKC

A

Typically weight bearing position
Less shear forces at joint (more compression at the joint)
Generally safer in rehab program

32
Q

Positioning for RT: Non-weight bearing/OKC

A

Typically NWB
More shear force at joint
Can better isolate muscle
High velocity movements (throw, kick, etc.)

33
Q

Distal end of the joint working is fixed on something

A

Closed kinetic chain

34
Q

Distal end of the joint working is free to move in space

A

Open kinetic chain

35
Q

Which of OKC or CKC would you use in early-mid rehab program?

A

OCK to make sure you don’t use other muscles to compensate

36
Q

When to use open kinetic chain? (4)

A
  • When WB is contraindicated
  • Soft tissue pain and swelling or restricted ROM of any segment in the chain, may require OKC exercises at adjacent joints
  • First to develop isolated control and strength of weak musculature
  • Sport/activity requires it
37
Q

When to use closed kinetic chain? (4)

A
  • Promote dynamic stabilization and co-activation
  • Provides greater proprioceptive and kinesthetic feedback
  • Provides more joint stability
  • Sport/activity requires it
38
Q

A

PWB to FWB to FWB + add weight

39

A

Wide to narrow
Bilateral to unilateral
Fixed on support surface to sliding on support surface

40
Q

Parameters and progression of CKC exercises - Support surface

A

Short arc to full arc (if appropriate)

43
Q

Anterior to posterior to diagonal

44
Q

Parameters and progression of CKC exercises - Speed of movement or directional change

Recommendations for early rehabilitation (sets and reps)

A

6-15 reps for 2 sets
Continue until able to perform 3 sets of 20-25 reps

48
Q

Common guideline for increasing weight

A

Increase weight 5-10% when all prescribed repetitions and sets can be completed easily without significant fatigue (5-10 for UE, 10-20 for LE)

49
Q

Training goal : strength
What is goal rep & sets?

A

Less than 6 reps for 2-6 sets

50
Q

Training goal : power, single effort or multiple effort

53
Q

When you had an ustable surface, your primary goal becomes neuromuscular and not strength (neuromuscular requirements increase – accessory muscles and brain connections for balance will increase when unstable)

A

If you want true strength gains, you need to stay on a stable surface
Can include both stable and unstable in the same training session

54
Q

A

~40%

55
Q

Guidelines for progression of strength training (4)

A
  1. Change 1 parameter at a time (FIIT)
  2. Begin with isometrics if required (i.e. high pain level, ROM deficiencies, post-op, activation of muscles)
  3. Begin concentric/eccentric RT as soon as possible
  4. Begin plyometric exercises ONCE the patient has met the appropriate requirements
