what does the fixator do?
works with the agonist and antagonist to stabilise the joint and produce a coordinated movement.
what’s an isotonic contraction?
muscle changes length under tension

muscle stays the same length under tension
what’s an eccentric contraction?
muscle lengths unter tension
what’s a concentric contraction?
muscle shortens under tension
