Strengthening Flashcards
how does muscle strength improve?
muscle must be stressed to the point of fatigue in order to hypertrophy
how do you manipulate exercise to strengthen?
type of contraction intensity of load duration of contraction rate/velocity of contraction freq of exercise
what are the precautions for progressive resistive exercise?
cardiovascular
fatigue
MS or rheumatoid pts
what are the contraindications of PRE?
pain and inflammation
when would you use isometric contraction?
zero-trace muscle
increase duration of contraction after improvement
when do you use active assistive ROM?
poor (-) to fair (-)
pt moves as far as he can, OT helps complete
when do you use active ROM?
poor to fair muscle
full ROM, could be in gravity eliminated
what do you use active resistive/PRE’s ROM?
poor (+) to good (+) muscle
full ROM with resistance
increase reps
when do you use isokinetic ROM?
when muscle has max ability at certain pt in range
requires special equipment for resistance
how do you manipulate exercise to strengthen?
high resistance, few reps
how do you manipulate exercise to improve endurance?
light resistance, many reps
how do you manipulate exercise to improve power?
polymetric exercises
max force, short time
how do you use the delorme strengthening technique?
determine the 10 RM (max reps)
- 50% of 10 RM
- 75% of 10 RM
- 100% of 10 RM
how do you use the oxford strengthening technique?
determine the 10 RM (max reps)
- 100% of 10 RM
- 75% of 10 RM
- 50% of 10 RM
what is 10 RM?
weight a pt can lift 10x before temp failure of muscles
