lengthen tight muscles
strengthen weak muscles
mobilise joints

Q

List procedures of MET + PIR

A

Place agonist muscle in slight tension
Contracts with 20% strength
Hold 5-7 seconds
Therapist changes starting position, new barrier of tension
1 min break
Repeat 3-5 times

16
Q

What is muscle tissue release

A

Used to stretch muscle
Fascia and tendons

17
Q

What is fibrotic adhesion

A

Acute and overuse injure to soft tissue

18
Q

What can fibrotic adhesion lead to

A

Less elastic
Disruptmuscle function
Impaired joint biomechanics

19
Q

Advantage of soft tissue release

A

Restore movement
Increase strength
Improve circulation

20
Q

3 types of soft tissue techniques

A

Passive
active
Weight bearing

21
Q

What muscle is MET RI applied to

A

Antagonist

22
Q

Which isotonic contraction is most uncomfortable for patients

A

Rapid isotonic eccentric contraction

23
Q

How is passive soft tissue release carried out

A

Find tight part of muscle
Find direction of fibre
Place muscle in neutral position
Lock in to create false origin (proximal)
Passively stretch muscle
Back to neutral position
Lock in again (distal)
x3-5

24
Q

List the body parts you can use to create false origin

A

Forearm
Fist
Elbow
Pisiform
Thumb
Fingers
Flat hand
Knuckle

25
Q

Give an example of slow eccentric stretch

A

Nordic hamstring fall

26
Q

Procedure of active soft tissue relaxation

A

Same as PSTR
but movement done actively by patient

27
Q

Why is active STF better than active stretching

A

Focus on specific area of increased tension rather than whole muscle

28
Q

What is weight bearing

A
29
Q

When is weight bearing used

A

When PSTR and ASTR fail to work

30
Q

What is the starting position for weight bearing

A

Less stretched not really neutral

31
Q

What is positional release technique

A

Passive technique
Patient placed in most comfortable position to relive pain

32
Q

Aim of positional release technique

A

Decrease muscle tension

33
Q

What type of kind of conditions can positional release technique be used on

A

Both acute and chronic

34
Q

Procedure for positional release technique

A

Find trigger point
Press on trigger point
Move pastiest in stress free position (shorten position)
Hold 90secs
Slowly return to resting position

35
Q

What is myofacia

A

Connective tissue surrounding tissue and organs

36
Q

What is myofacia made of

A

Collagen + elastic fibre
