ROM and length of muscles

Question 5

what does muscle flexibiltiy relate to?

Answer 5

ability of muscle and surrounding fascia to deform

Question 6

define a contracture.

Answer 6

adaptive shortening the musculotendinous units and other soft tissues that surround the joint

toe region

Question 14

name what this is: distance that a muscle is capable of shortening after it has been elongated to its maximum.

Answer 14

functional excursion

Question 15

what ROM technique should you use when a pt is too weak to move the segment through the desired ROM and sensory feedback is needed?

Answer 15

A-AROM

Question 16

common goals for PROM, AROM, and AAROM.

Answer 16

muscle elasticity, circulation, decrease pain and decrease adhesion formation

Question 17

as a ROM precaution, what should you be mindful of?

when is mechanical stretching used?

Answer 20

for those with chronic contractures

Question 21

what is the intensity and load of stretching during mechanical stretching?

Answer 21

low load, long duration stretching

Question 22

what is the tert formula?

Answer 22

intensity torque x stretch duration (mins) x bouts per day x days per week

Question 23

define creep.

Answer 23

increase in plastic region under constant stress

soft tissue mobilization 
neural tissue mobilization

Question 26

define functional excursion.

Answer 26

ability of a muscle to shorten after fully lengthening
