Rehab Flashcards
Which immobilization shows to atrophy muscles less
Muscles immobilized in the lengthened position
Components of a rehab
Minimize swelling Controlling Pain Reestablish muscular control Enhancing core stability Regining or improving ROM Maintaining cardio endurance
How to reestablish nueromuscular control
Many repitions of the same movement through step by step progression from simple to more complex movements
What four elements are critical for neuromuscular control
Proprioceptive and kinesthesia
dynamic stablity
Preparatory and reactive muscular characteristics
Conscious and unconscious functional motor patterns
Define Kinesthesia
Ability to detect movement
Ruffini’s corpuscles
joint capsules ligaments and skin
sensitive to touch tension and heat
Pacinian corpuscles
Skin
Respond to deep pressure
Merkel’s corpuscles
Skin
Respond to deep pressure
Meissner’s corpuscles
Skin
Activated by light touch
Define physiological movement
result from an active muscle contraction
Define accessory motion
refers to manner which one articulating joint surface moves relative to another
Eccentric contractions are critical for
deceleration of limb motion
What do Isokinectic exercises use and when are they used
fixed speed with accommodating resistance to provide maximal resistance.
Later on in rehab
3 phases of rehab
Acute inflammatory response phase
Fibroblastic repair phase
Maturation remodeling phase
Duration of Phase I
Immediatly when injury occurs to 4 days
