24
Q

concentric contraction

A

push or pull

25
Q

eccentric

A

let go slowly or slowly let go

26
Q

maintained isotonic contraction

A

concentric contraction which resistance is applied by PT allowing minimal to no motion

“keep it there”

“dont let me move you”

27
Q

isometric contraction

A

static

external force overcomes internal force and no movement is allowed

“hold it, don’t let me move you. Don’t push.”

28
Q

traction

A

elongation of a segment to increase muscular response and promote movement or proximal stability

29
Q

how is traction maintained

A

throughout movement and combined with appropriate resistance

30
Q

what may traction be effective in

A

reducing pain

31
Q

approximation

A

compression of a segment to increase muscular response and promote stability

32
Q

what does approximation aid in

A

txing painful and unstable joints

33
Q

what is approximation used for

A

facilitate isometric or stabilizing contraction

34
Q

quick stretch

A

elongating a group of MM in pattern can get greater facilitation

35
Q

what is best facilitated by a quick stretch

A

reflex contraction

36
Q

what should we always do before applying a quick stretch

A

spring test

37
Q

where should we perform a quick stretch

A

must be in recoil zone

38
Q

quick stretch is not

A

a jerk

39
Q

quick stretch is

A

synchronized w/ verbal command

40
Q

when should resistance be given –> quick stretch

A

must occur w/in first few degrees of movement by pt

41
Q

what is quick stretch used to achieve

A

facilitate initiation of movement

increase strength of contraction

increase endurance

influence direction of movement

42
Q

contraindications to quick stretch

A

involuntary hyperactive stretch reflex

pain

mm, tendons, bones or joints are injured

43
Q

verbal stimuli –> verbal commands should be

A

simple

concise

audible

specific to the contraction desired

44
Q

visual stimuli should initiate

A

learning of activities

45
Q

visual stimuli should identify

A

direction of movement

position in space

46
Q

visual stimuli should increase

A

ROM

47
Q

visual stimuli should direct

A

motion of head, trunk and extremities across midline on the same side

48
Q

how’re activities performed

A

in diagonal direction w/ spiral components

49
Q

how is mm response when resistance is applied in a diagonals

A

more coordinated and forceful

50
Q

patterns of facilitation consist of

A

3 components

51
Q

3 components of each pattern

A

flexion or extension

abduction or adduction

rotation

52
Q

timing

A

sequencing of motor recruitment which takes place in a normal fxnal activity or movement

53
Q

when would I use different techniques? –> approximation

A

stabilization and balance

54
Q

when would I use different techniques? –> traction and stretch

A

increases ability to move

55
Q

when would I use different techniques? –> resistance

A

reinforced learning of activity

56
Q

when would I use different techniques? –> timing for emphasis

A

enables therapist to use strong motions to exercise weaker ones

57
Q

when would I use different techniques? –> patterns

A

improve performance of fxn activities

58
Q

when would I use different techniques? –> commands

A

clear and relate to fxn goals

stability or motion
