remedial 1 Flashcards
impairment
any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological or anatomic structure of function, ie. it limits ability to perform task, example frozen shoulder
functional limitation
limitation from an impairment that is not disabling yet interferes with normal function
disability
inability to undertake normal activities of daily living
handicap
social disadvantages resulting from an impairment or disability that prevents or limits the person
painful arc
pain anywhere in the active or passive ROM of that structure
strength
ability of a muscle or group to produce tension and a resulting force during a maximal effort, either dynamically or statically in relation to demands placed upon it
hypertrophy
size of individual muscle fibers increases
- increased amount of protein in fiber
hyperplasia
increase in the number of muscle fibers possibly by longitudinal fiber splitting
type II fast twitch
have been shown to be the primary source of hypertrophy
type II
fast twitch
type I (red)
slow twitch
recruitment
your ability to recruit, to use
- greater number of units = greater strength
- 400-500 times to learn it perfectly
the overload principle
to increase strength a load that exceeds the metabolic capacity of the muscle must be used during exercise
endurance
low weights,high reps
strength
high weights,low reps,low speed
powerful
high speed, high weights,low reps
stability
synergistic coordination of the neuromuscular system to provide a stable base for functional movements or activities
stability
- required in more proximal structures ie.trunk,hips and shoulder girdle
closed chain exercises
feet are stable,pushing your body example push up
open chain exercises
hands are free/moveable
- pulling
relaxation
it is the conscious effort to relieve tension in muscles.Chronic tension results in the cycle of pain
the stronger the contraction the
greater the relaxation response
promoting relaxation
deep breathing exercises
changes in the muscular, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems that lead to increased endurance
immediate changes
- increased blood flow to muscles
- increased heart rate
