Test 1 Flashcards
What joints are prone to mobility restrictions (hypo)
Upper cervical Thoracic Hip Ankle GH
What joints are prone to stability limitations (hyper mobile?)
Lower cervical
Scapula
Lumbar
Knee
What movements occur within the horizontal plane?
Internal and external rotation
Axial rotation
What is the hierarchy of movement?
Mobility
Motor control
Functional patterning
What is the hierarchy of movement and give example for each
Mobility: toe touches
Motor control: hip hinge
Functional patterning: dead lift
Static stretching technique
Get to end range and hold
Slow and constant
What is static stretching good for?
Increased acute ROM
Why does static stretching increase acute ROM
Analgesic response!
What are the components of stretch-induced strength loss
Neurological: suppressed NS because not doing anything related to task
Mechanical: stretching tissues and actin/myosin pulled out and require more time to return
More pronounced in slow velocity activities
When should you avoid stretching
During DOMS
Post high-intensity sessions or after strengthening sessions
Active dynamic stretching technique
Movement through full range
Start slow and increase in speed
Good for warm up
PNF?
Proprioceptive neuromusclular facilitation
Concept of patient management of working on total human not just one problem. Focuses on untapped patient potential and reinforces what patient can do
Move at patient pace
Increase ability to move and remain stable and guide coordinated movement thought timing and increase stamina
Facilitation
Motor control
Increases excitability to the target muscle
Way to restore dysfunctional muscle
Inhibition
Motor control
Decrease excitability or motor units
Reduce spasticity
Irradiation
Spread of excitation in the CNS that causes contraction of synergistic muscles in a specific pattern
3 components/planes utilized in PNF
Flexion/extension
Rotation
Toward and across midline and across and away from midline
Multi-plane stretching
PNF patterns create control by….
Alternating mobility and stability
Reciprocal inhibition aka
Sherrington’s law
What techniques utilize reciprocal inhibition/sheringtons law?
1.CRAC
Contract, relax, agonist contract
Ex: biceps contract, triceps inhibited
What is postcontraction inhibition
After muscle is contracted it is automatically in a relaxed state for a latent period.
And during that relaxation time you can stretch it
What techniques utilize the postcontraction inhibition technique
Hold relax
Postisometric relaxation (PIR)
Postfascilitation stretch
Rhythmic stabilization
Alternating between isometric actions of agonist and antagonist
Antagonist should be activated first
FACILLITATION (strengthen)
Where is the center of gravity?
Point equal weight on all sides
S2
Slightly higher in men
Are of contact between the body and supporting surface
Base of support
Maintained when COG remains over the base of support
Balance
1st class lever
Force, fulcrum, resistance
Cervical extension is what kind of lever
1st
Example of 1st class lever
Cervical extension
Seesaw
Scissors
