Q

Describe altered reciprocal inhibition

A

inhibition caused by a tight agonist, which in turn decreases neural drive to its functional antagonist.

(aka, altered length-tension)

e.g., hip flexor overactive leads to decreased strength/neural drive to glute max. this leads to synergistic dominance of hamstrings (they take over)
