stetching exercises Flashcards
why does mobility occur
functional rom
functional mobility
what causes hypomobility
soft tissue shortened due to some disorders
what is a contracture
this is the shortness of the muscle tendon units and the joints resist passive or active movements which affects the rom
types of contracture
- myostatic contracture ,,, this is the loss of mobilty due to shortening in the musculotendinous unit
- psuedomyostatic contracture … loss of range of motion that occurs with hypertonicity
- articular contractures,,,contractures that re caused by a pathology that occurs within a joint
- periarticular contractures…. formed by the progression of tension in the connective tissue
types of stretching
dynamic stretching e.g.. ballistic stretching
static stretching e.g…active and passive stretching
PNF stretching
which stretching is the most reliable
static stretching
what type of stretching increases quadriceps muscle activity
dynamic stretching
a type of stretching that involves muscle contracting inhibiting and active muscle contraction fascinating strain forces
PNF stretching
what are the changes that occur when connective tissue is stretched
elastic
viscoelastic
plastic
what are the connective tissues in the muscle
contractile and non contractile
which of the connective tissue has visco elastic properties
non contractile
muscles that contain the contractile tissue
muscle belly
muscle tendon
muscle- bone attachment
tenoperiosteal
non contractile parts in the body are
ligaments bursae skin joint capsules dura matter nerves
the lower the intensity of stretching ?
the longer the ability of the patient to tolerate stretching
the safest form of stretching is what
low density
slow appplied
long term stretching
