Q

What are the characteristics of tonic muscles

A

•Postural muscles

  • support body against gravity
  • Increase in slow twitch fibers
  • tendency to become overactive and shortened
  • associated with “Trigger Points”

Q

What are the characteristics of phasic muscles

A

•Movers

  • high velocity and high force
  • Increase in fast twitch fibers
  • tendency to become weak and inhibited under stress
  • associated with strains

A

Tape measurement for structural from ASIS to Apex if medial malleolus
