Mo-Stability

Question 1

Refers to the muscle’s extensibility through passive stretching without pain

Answer 1

Flexibility

Question 2

Mobility

Answer 2

the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion without pain

Question 3

Stability

Answer 3

Resistance offered by various musculoskeletal tissues that surround a joint; passive, active, and neural subsystems that control the range of motion

Question 4

Mobility + Stability =
Mobility - Stability =
Stability - Mobility =

Answer 4

Mo-Stability
Instability
Rigidity

Question 5

When discussing planes of motion, moving anteriorly and posteriorly is performed in this plane

Answer 5

Sagittal Plane

Question 6

Rotational movement occurs in this plane of motion

Answer 6

Transverse Plane

Question 7

Describe movement in the frontal plane of motion

Answer 7

Right Lateral and Left Lateral

Question 8

When describing the spherical model of movement, the components that determine the shape of your sphere are

Answer 8

Mobility, Flexibility, and Range of Motion

Question 9

When describing the spherical model of movement, the components that determine the quality of your sphere are

Answer 9

Stability, Strength, and Control of Motion

Question 10

The purpose of sport-specific training as it relates to the spherical model of movement

Answer 10

• To increase the size of the athlete’s sphere
• To increase the athlete’s stability within a larger sphere
• When all three are accomplished improvements in performance will result

Question 11

These body structures are responsible for stability of movement

Answer 11

Foot
Knee
Lumbar Spine
Cervical Spine
Scapulothoracic Joint
Elbow
Hand

Question 12

These structures are responsible for the mobility of the body during movement

Answer 12

Ankle
Hip
Thoracic Spine
Glenohumeral Joint
Wrist

Question 13

Def of strength when referred to in the context of the spherical model

Answer 13

Resiliency of the sphere of movement.
Can the athlete still move with the same ability when external loads other than gravity, ground reaction force, and momentum of the body are applied

Question 14

In the anterior lunge example, describe Mobility, Stability, & Strength

Answer 14

• Mobility - the distance covered or length of the lunge
• Stability - the quality of deceleration, transformation, and acceleration out of the lunge
• Strength - are mobility and stability unchanged when the lunge is performed with added resistance (dumbells, barbells, weighted vest)
