RANDOM Flashcards
1
Q
ECCENTRIC
A
muscle lengthens
2
Q
Arthokinetic dysfunction
A
abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint
3
Q
Altered reciprocal inhibition
A
muscle inhibition caused by tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist.
4
Q
concentric
A
muscle shortens
5
Q
isometric
A
generates force without changing length of the muscle
6
Q
kinetic chain checkpoints
A
- foot and ankle, knee, LPHC, shoulders, head and cervical spine
7
Q
muscle imbalance
A
alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
8
Q
reciprocal inhibition
A
contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of its agonist to allow movement
