Midterm OP Isometric and Isotonic Strengthening

Question 1

How many steps are there is total for the isometric strengthening section?

Answer 1

13 (GENERAL)
+
6 (PARAMETERS, specific to isotonic/isometric)

Question 2

Name the first four steps for isometric or isotonic strengthening?

Answer 2

1. DESCRIBE :
   ISOMETRIC - MM CONTRACTS AND LENGTH REMAINS THE SAME
   ISOTONIC - MM CONTRACTS AND SHORTENS
2. POINT TO GEN ATTACHMENT PTS + FUNCTION
3. RATIONALE : THIS MM COULD BE STRONGER BASED ON OUR TEST
4. BENEFIT : IMPROVE FUNCTION

Question 3

Name steps 5 - 8 for isometric or isotonic strengthening?

Answer 3

5. RISKS : MM CAN TEAR, SO WARMING UP FIRST IS IMPORTANT - hydrotherapy for 10 min is great
6. THERAPIST DEMONSTRATES
   - EXPLAIN PARAMETERS
   - maintaining slow regular breathing
   - cryotherapy after exercise can reduce mm soreness
7. STATES : EXERCISE MUST BE STOPPED IF PAINFUL
   (and should be pain free)
8. ASKS PATIENT : ANY QUESTIONS for me?

Question 4

Name the final 5 steps (9 - 13) for isometric or isotonic strengthening?

Answer 4

9. CONTRACTION PERFORMED EFFECTIVELY TO MM
   - POSITION (SUBSTITUTE MOVEMENTS, POSTURE)
   - BARRIERS / BOLSTERS
10. CHECKS DURING CONTRACTION : FOR COMFORT/PAIN
11. CHECKS DURING CONTRACTION : REG BREATHING
12. ASKS PATIENT : IF CONTRACTION IS FELT?
13. ## ASKS PATIENT : TO POINT TO WHERE CONTRACTION IS FELT?SET PARAMETERS + REPEAT

Question 5

What do you receive your 6 final marks for explaining during ISOMETRIC strengthening?

Answer 5

1: - USE 50-60% OF MM STRENGTH - or 10% WITH NECK
1: - 5 REPETITIONS - HOLD 5 SECONDS
2: - 3 SETS
- DEMONSTRATE WHERE EXERCISE IS REPEATED AT 3 STATIC JOINT ANGLES
1: - 30 SEC - 1 MIN REST
1: - SET PARAMETERS TO EVERY OTHER DAY

REPEAT:
“5 REPS, for 5 SECONDS, do 3 SETS at each JOINT ANGLE, REST 1 MIN between each set, EVERY OTHER DAY”

ISOMETRIC

Question 6

What do you receive your 6 final marks for explaining during ISOTONIC strengthening?

Answer 6

1: - FOR STATING GOAL IS STRENGTH (or ENDURANCE)

1: - STRENGTH: USE 80% or 10% WITH NECK
1: - STRENGTH: 8 REPETITIONS
1: - STRENGTH: 2 SETS
1: - STRENGTH: 1 1/2 - 2 MINS REST
REPEAT:
“80% OF STRENGTH FOR 8 REPS, 2 SETS, rest for 2 MINS for each 1 1/2 of exercise, EVERY OTHER DAY.”
or
ENDURANCE: USE 50 - 60 % or 10% WITH NECK
ENDURANCE: 25 REPETITIONS
ENDURANCE: 3 SETS
ENDURANCE: 30 SEC - 1 MIN REST
REPEAT:
“50-60% OF STRENGTH FOR 25 REPS, 3 SETS, rest for 1 MIN for each 30 sec of exercise, EVERY OTHER DAY.”

1: - SET PARAMETERS TO EVERY OTHER DAY

ISOTONIC
