muscle resting tension

Question 1

the ability of a skeletal muscle to shorten with force

Answer 1

contractility

Question 2

the capacity to respond to stimulus

Answer 2

excitability

Question 3

the ability of a muscle and its associated fascia to undergo lengthening deformation during the movement of a joint through its anatomic range

Answer 3

extensibility

Question 4

the ability of skeletal muscle to recoil to their original resting length after they have been stretched

Answer 4

elasticity

Question 5

showing both viscous/plastic and elastic behaviour

Answer 5

viscoelasticity

Question 6

contration type: tension generated is insufficient to overcome the external load on the muscle and the muscle fibres lengthen as they contract

Answer 6

eccentric contraction

Question 7

contraction type: tension in the muscle remains constant despite a change in muscle length

Answer 7

isotonic contraction

Question 8

contraction type: muscle tension is sufficient to overcome the load, and the muscle shortens as it contracts

Answer 8

concentric contraction

Question 9

the extent to which a muscle conforms to the expected anatomical and biological norms

Answer 9

muscle integrity

Question 10

the resting tension and responsiveness of muscle to passive elongation or stretch

Answer 10

muscle tone

Question 11

decrease in mobility/movement/restricted motion of a joint or body part

Answer 11

hypomobility

Question 12

increase in mobility/movement/restricted motion of a joint or body part

Answer 12

hypermobility

Question 13

Usually the results of brain lesions UMN, brainstem lesions, and basal cell ganglia lesions

Answer 13

hypertonicity

Question 14

when soft tissue dysfunction is present, can limit the available ROM and change the quality of movement. can be restrictive, pathological, and psychological

Answer 14

barriers

Question 15

a condition in which a muscle is elongated beyond physiological neutral but not beyond the normal ROM

Answer 15

stretch weakness

Question 16

the most severe form of muscle tightness. overused muscle shortens over time, changing the muscle’s length-tension curve and becoming more readily activated and weakened over time

Answer 16

tightness weakness

Question 17

the passive tonus or tension of skeletal muscle that derives from its intrinsic molecular viscoelastic properties

Answer 17

myofascial tone

Question 18

the vital low-level, passive tension, and resistance to stretch that contributes to maintain postural stability

Answer 18

postural tone

Question 19

tension developed by the contractile element

Answer 19

active tension

Question 20

the 3 contractile contributors to muscle resting tension

Answer 20

spasm, trigger points, umrt/holding patterns

Question 21

the 4 biomechanical contributors to muscle resting tension

Answer 21

water, connective tissue, myofibril, adipose

Question 22

what 2 forms are water in as a contributor to muscle resting tension

Answer 22

free or bonded
