Q

why do traction or approximation ?

A

they joints are getting more input by doing these traction and approximation to get a better motor response

named by the ending position of the shoulder

30

A

anterior elevation
anterior depression
posterior elevation
posterior depression

31
Q

what are the muscles of anterior elevation

A

levator scapulae, rhomboids,

serratus anterior

32
Q

what are the muscles of anterior depression

A

Serratus anterior, rhomboids,

pectoralis major and miner

33
Q

what are the muscles of

posterior elevation

A

Trapezius, levator scapulae

34
Q

what are the muscles of

posterior depression

A
Serratus anterior(lower), rhomboids,
 latissimus dorsi
35
Q

what is the goal of the PNF and mobility

A

Inhibit inappropriate muscular tone

36
Q

what are some PNF techniques to improve mobility

A
  • Rhythmical Rotation
  • Rhythmical Initiation
  • Hold-Relax Stretching
  • Contract-Relax Stretching
  • Agonist Contraction
  • Hold-Relax with Agonist Contraction
37
Q

what is rhythmical rotation used for

A
  • Initiation of movement

- Limited ROM due to high tone

38
Q

what does the therapist do for rhythmical rotation

A

Therapist passively rotates the extremity along the long axis to promote relaxation of tone and improved ROM

39
Q

what is Rhythmical Initiation used for

A
  • Initiation of movement
  • Limited ROM due to high tone
  • Difficulty with motor learning
40
Q

what does the therapist do for Rhythmical Initiation

A

Therapist passively moves the extremity through the ROM so they can get the hang of what is happen without resistance

  • passive
  • active assisted
  • active
41
Q

what is the hold relax pnf

A

The restricted muscle is stretched (lengthened) to the point of limitation
• Contraction is held for 5 to 10 seconds
• Intensity is about 20% effort

42
Q

what is the contract relax pnf

A

The restricted muscle is stretched (lengthened) to the point of limitation

  • Contraction is held for 5 to 10 seconds
    • Intensity is about 20% effort
43
Q

how does the contract relax and the hold relax work

A

autogenci inhibition

44
Q

what is autogenic inhibition

A

Inhibition of the contractile components of a muscle by the GTO contributes to reflexive muscle relaxation enabling the muscle to be elongated against less muscle tension

45
Q

what is an agonist

A

refers to the muscle opposite the range limiting muscle

46
Q

what is the antagonist

A

refers to the range limiting muscle

47
Q

what is agonist contraction

A

The restricted muscle is stretched (lengthened) to the point of limitation
• Contraction is held for 5 to 10 seconds
• Intensity is about 20%

48
Q

how does the agonist contraction work

A

Reciprocal Inhibition

49
Q

what is Reciprocal Inhibition

A

Agonist muscles on one side of a joint relax to accommodate contraction or lengthening of the antagonist muscle on the other side of that joint

50
Q

what is the hold- relax with agonist contraction

A

The restricted muscle is stretched (lengthened) to the point of limitation

 * Contraction is held for 5 to 10 seconds
* Intensity is about 20% effort
51
Q

how does the hold- relax with agonist contraction work

A

by BOTH

  • autogenic inhibition
  • reciprocal inhibition
