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
Main focus of Phase I
Control swelling
Length of Phase II
After Phase I for several weeks
What happens during Phase II of healing
fibroblastic cells are laying down collagen firbers and forming scar tissue
Define Open Kinetic Chain
Occurs when the foot or hand is off the ground
Define Closed Kinetic Chain
Occurs when the foot or hand is on the ground
Which Chain is more functional
closed kinetic chain
PNF Strengthening Techniques
Rhythmic Initiation Repeated Contraction Slow reversal Slow reversal hold Rhythmic Stabilization
Rhythmic Initation
Passive movement to active assist movement to active movement
Repeated Contraction
How it fucking sounds
Slow reversal
Patient moves through complete ROM agaisnt maximum resistance
PNF stretching techniques
Contract-relax
Hold-relax
Slow-reversal-hold-relax
Contract Relax
Body part is moved until resistance is felt
Patient contracts muscles
After relaxing the body part is moved a little farther
Hold Relax
Same as contract relax
