Q

What is Isometric Exercise?

A

Isometric Exercise (Static Exercise) involves muscle contractions that produce force without appreciable change in length.

Q

What is the rationale for using Isometric Exercise?

A

To minimize muscle atrophy when joint movement is not possible, facilitate muscle firing, develop stability, improve strength, and develop static strength at particular points in ROM.

Q

What is a Muscle Setting Exercise?

A

Low intensity isometric contractions with little to no resistance that do not increase strength but can retard muscle atrophy and maintain mobility between muscle fibers.

Q

What are Stabilization Exercises?

A

Exercises used to develop a submaximal but sustained level of co-contraction to improve postural or dynamic stability.

Q

What precautions should be taken during Isometric Exercises?

A

Avoid holding breath, as the Valsalva maneuver can cause an increase in blood pressure.

Q

What is the difference between Eccentric and Concentric Exercise?

A

Greater loads can be controlled with eccentric exercise, and training gains in strength and mass are greater with max eccentric training.

Q

What is Constant Resistance in Resistance Exercise?

A

Dynamic exercise against constant external resistance where the limb moves through ROM against a constant external load.

17
Q

What is Variable Resistance in Resistance Exercise?

A

Resistance equipment imposes varying levels of resistance to load the muscles more effectively at multiple points in the ROM.

18
Q

What is Isokinetic Exercise?

A

Exercise that provides accommodating resistance at a constant velocity.

19
Q

What are the advantages of Isokinetic Exercise?

A

Loads muscle throughout ROM, provides objective measurements, and allows for bilateral comparison.

20
Q

What are the disadvantages of Isokinetic Exercise?

A

No functional carryover, potential for injury, and it can be expensive.

21
Q

What are contraindications to Isokinetics?

A

Acute rehab, excessive instability of a joint, and relative contraindication for patellofemoral dysfunction.

22
Q

What is Short Arc Isokinetics?

A

Progresses from submax to max effort and is best done in the chronic phase of rehab.

23
Q

What is the Velocity Spectrum Rehab Program?

A

Used in final stages of rehab when motion is normal and joint is stable, advancing speed up to the highest speed handled by the patient.

24
Q

What are the limitations in carryover into function for Isokinetic Exercise?

A

Velocity of limb movement during ADLs and sports exceeds max velocity settings on isokinetic equipment, and functional tasks require multiple muscle groups.

25
Q

What are the benefits of OKC exercises?

A

OKC testing and training identifies deficits in specific muscles more effectively than CKC.

Substitution patterns are greater with OKC exercises.

26
Q

What are the benefits of CKC exercises?

A

CKC stimulates joint and muscle mechanoreceptors, promoting co-activation of agonists and antagonists, thus enhancing stability.

27
Q

How do OKC and CKC exercises differ in control of movements?

A

OKC exercises have a greater level of control with single moving joints than with multiple moving joints.

These are advantages in early stages.

28
Q

What is joint approximation and how does it differ in OKC and CKC?

A

Joint approximation occurs in both OKC and CKC. In CKC, it is associated with decreased levels of shear forces at the moving joint.

29
Q

What is the effect of weight-bearing on joint stability?

A

In weight-bearing, axial loading is thought to cause an increase in joint congruency, leading to increased stability.

30
Q

What is the evidence regarding co-contraction in OKC exercises?

A

Evidence is lacking to show that in some OKC exercises one will get co-contraction.

Example: alternating isometrics and high-speed isokinetics.

31
Q

Which type of exercise provides greater proprioceptive feedback?

A

CKC provides greater proprioceptive and kinesthetic feedback than OKC, activating more sensory receptors.

32
Q

What are contraindications to resistance exercise?

A

Pain, inflammation, and severe cardiopulmonary disease are contraindications to resistance exercise.
