Q
Dynamic Reversals - utilizes/indicated for
A
(Slow Reversals): Utilizes isotonic contractions of first agonists, then antagonists performed against resistance . Contraction of stronger pattern is selected first with progression to weaker pattern. The limb is moved through full range of motion.
Indications: Impaired strength and coordination between agonist and antagonist, limitations in range of motion, fatigue.
2
Q
Stabilizing Reversals:
A
Utilizes alternating isotonic contractions of first agonists, then antagonists against resistance, allowing only very limited range of motion.
Indications Impaired strength, stability and balance, coordination.
