strength in rehabilitation Flashcards
goal of active rom
Maintain/increase ROM, improve movement patterns, and help reduce atrophy
how does the muscle move in gravity assisted movement
Muscle in question is moving perpendicular to the floor in downward motion
how does the muscle move in gravity assisted movement
Muscle in question is parallel to the floor, perpendicular to gravity
why use isometric exercise
- Minimize muscle atrophy when joint movement is not possible
- Activate muscles to begin to re-establish neuromuscular control
* Protect healing tissues - Develop postural and joint stability
- Improve muscular strength when dynamic RT could compromise joint integrity or cause pain
- Develop static muscular strength at particular points of ROM (20° max) * Specific task related needs
when does isometric contraction is uses
in acute stage of healing
what does isometric contraction promote
relaxation and circulation after injury
what is the muscle setting for isometric contraction
low intensity isometric contractions performed against little or no resistance
why do we use stabilization exercise
improve postural stability or dynamic stability of a join
what is rhythmic stabilization
Applied resistance in multiple directions to facilitate sequential muscle activation
what is multi-angle isometric
Manual or mechanical resistance is applied at multiple joint positions within available ROM
goal of multi-angle isometric
improve strength through rom
when do we use multi angle isometric
when dynamic resistance exercise is painful or inadvisable
how many % of a muscle voluntry contraction do we need to improve strength
66-100%
how many sec do we hold the position in isometric contraction
10 sec (2sec rise, 6 sec hold, 2 sec release)
benefit of repetitive contraction
- Decrease muscle cramping
- Increases effectiveness of isometric goals
