Q

What is the difference between ROM and stretching?

A

Stretching is when the limiting factor of jt mobility and the goal is to lengthen that muscle. ROM is focused on moving the jt through osteokinematic motion

40
Q

When stretching a patient in pain where should your body position be?

A

Close to the patient and jt

41
Q

When performing scap mobs what position should the patient be in?

A

S/L

42
Q

A

Perform with elbow flexion and extension

43
Q

What components does stretching do when trying to improve mobility?

A
  • Flexibility
  • Hypermobility
  • Contracture
44
Q

What is flexibility for?

A

Improve ROM - need to be flexible enough to perform a motion

Can be either static or dynamic

45
Q

Why do we stretch with contractures?

A

We stretch when we do not get any more movement from the jt because it is at a fixed angle

Common in FLEXED positions

Seen in pt with SCI, SVA, nerve injury, etc

46
Q

What are stretching indications?

A
  • Soft tissue has lost extensibility - IE. adhesions, contractures, scar tissue
  • Restricted motion may lead to deformity
  • Mm weakness and shortening can lead to limited ROM
  • Prevent or reduce risk of injury and potentially Mm soreness
  • Prior to and after exercise
47
Q

What are stretching contraindications?

A
  • Bony block
  • Recent fracture
  • Acute inflammatory process
  • Sharp, acute pain with movement or elongation
  • Hematoma or other trauma
  • Hypermobility
  • Shortened tissues that provide stability or function - IE. tendodesis
48
Q

What is the definition of stress?

A

Force or load per unit area.

49
Q

53
Q

When does deformation of the collagen fibers occur in the stress-strain curve?

A

Elastic limit

54
Q

What occurs in the plastic range of the stress-strain curve?

A

After elastic limit is reached, sequential failure of the collagen fibers and tissue occurs, which results in heat and new muscle length after stress is released

55
Q

What does X to X1 represent on the stress-strain curve?

A

New length of muscle

56
Q

What does Y to Y1 represent on the stress-strain curve?

Additional length added in the plastic region with more heat release

57
Q

What is the neck region of the stress-strain curve?

A

Considerable weakening of tissue

Less force needed for deformation

58
Q

When does total failure occur?

A

Quickly follows necking even with small loads

Rupture

59
Q

What is CR PNF stretch?

A

Contract relax

  • Passively lengthen muscle to first point of resistance
  • Isometrically contract muscle submaxially for 5-10 sec
  • Passively lengthen for another 10 seconds
60
Q

What is AC PNF stretch?

A

Agonist contraction - agonist is this sense means opposite of range limiting muscle group (antagonist)

  • Concentric contraction of the opposite muscle to the range limiting muscle
  • Hold for few seconds
  • Rest then repeat
61
Q

What is HR-AC PNF stretch?

A

AKA slow reversal hold-relax technique

  • Passively move limb
  • Have pt perform isometric contraction for about 5 seconds followed by voluntary relaxation and concentric contraction of opposite muscle of range limiting muscle for about 5 seconds
62
Q

What are precautions of PNF stretching?

A
  • DO NOT force jt beyond normal ROM
  • Osteoporosis, prolonged bed rest, age, or prolonged steroid use
  • Newly united fracture
  • Overstretch weak muscle
63
Q

What is the Thomas test?

A

Test of hip flexors

64
Q

What muscles could be limitations in the Thomas test?

A

Iliopsoas, rectus femoris, sartorius, adductor longus and brevis, pectineus, and TFL

65
Q

What is a normal Thomas test?

A

Flat thigh and knee at about 80 degrees

66
Q

Where should the goniometer be during a Thomas test?

A

Fulcrum - greater trochanter

Proximal arm - lateral midline of pelvis

Distal arm - lateral midline of femur in line with lateral epicondyle

67
Q

What happens if the rectus femoris is the limiting factor?

A

More motion with the knee in extension

68
Q

What does it mean if the leg goes into ER and ABD?

A

Sartorius is the limiting muscle

69
Q

What does it mean if the leg goes into ABD and IR?

A

The TFL is the limiting muscle

70
Q

What does it mean if the leg is pulled into ADD?

A

The pectineus and ADD are the limiting muscles

71
Q

What are you doing in the Thomas test?

A
  • Have pt bring knees to chest
  • Lower suspected limiting side down towards the ground in a flexed position
  • Look for any compensations
72
Q

What is the Hamstring SLR test?

A
  • Have both knees extended

- Lift one in a SLR

73
Q

What compensations might you see?

A
  • Knee flexion
  • Posterior pelvic tilt
  • Lumbar flexion
74
Q

75
Q

Where does the goniometer go during a hamstring SLR test?

A

Distal arm - lateral midline of femur with reference to lateral epicondyle

76
Q

What is the Ober test?

A

Tests flexibility of TFL and IT band

77
Q

What position is the pt in during Ober test?

A
  • Bottom hip and knees are flexed to help stabilize
  • PTA have firm pressure on iliac crest
  • Slowly lower top leg into ADD position
78
Q

What is normal during an Ober test?

A

Thigh can lower slightly below horizontal

79

A

30-90 seconds

86

87
Q

What are common compensations during cervical flexion?

A
  • Lateral flexion
  • Shoulder hike
  • Movement of trunk
88
Q

What is creep?

A

Change in muscle tissue length dependent on load and time.

Microtrauma/change in muscle length the muscle endures over time with a certain load

89
Q

What is stress-relaxation?

A

Internal tension is decreased when there is a low load applied over a period of time and remains constant

Keeping a low constant load over a longer duration leads to “relaxation” of muscle fibers and ultimately increase in muscle length
