Q

(1) ____ happens when a muscle is too short to produce much tension. (2) ____ is when a muscle is fully lengthened and limits motion at one of the joints
it crosses.

A
  1. Active insufficiency
  2. Passive Insufficiency
32
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: When the extremity moves downward, gravity causes the motion, and the antagonists need assistance to control the motion eccentrically.

33
Q

2 ways to perform shoulder internal & external rotation using wand (t-bar) exercise

A
  1. The patient’s arms are at the sides, and the elbows are flexed 90°. Patient moves the wand from
    side to side across the trunk while maintaining the elbows at the side.
  2. The patient’s shoulders are abducted 90°, and the
    elbows are flexed 90°. For external rotation, the wand is
    moved toward the patient’s head; for internal rotation, the wand is moved toward the waistline.
34
Q

How to perform shoulder horizontal adduction & abduction using wand (t-bar) exercise

A

The wand is lifted to 90° shoulder flexion. Keeping the elbows extended, the patient pushes and pulls the wand back and forth across the chest through the available range.

35
Q

____, or reduced functional motion, is often caused by adaptive shortening or decreased extensibility in soft tissues

A

Hypomobility

36
Q

____ is a rapid, forceful intermittent stretch—that is, a high-velocity and high-intensity stretch— and characterized by fast joint movement that quickly elongates the targeted soft tissues

A

Ballistic stretching

37
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Ballistic stretching safely increases ROM in young, healthy subjects participating in a conditioning program.

38
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Ballistic stretching is recommended for elderly or sedentary individuals or patients with musculoskeletal pathology or chronic contractures.

A

False.

If ballistic stretching is done on elderly or sedentary individuals, tissues weakened by immobilization or disuse are easily injured& dense connective tissue found in chronic contractures becomes more brittle and tears more readily as it does not yield easily with high-intensity, short-duration stretch.
