Ther-ex Lecture 1 & 2 Flashcards
________ and self care has to be an extension of what you are doing in the treatment
therapeutic exercise
T/F therapeutic exercise is designed to improve and restore an individuals function
true
if a patient is just coming in for maintenance it is best to prescribe ______ measures or body awareness tips
preventative
an example of some injuries that can occur in individuals with labour intensive jobs include ______ & ______
RSI’s and disc herniation
T/F therapeutic exercise should be prescribed to decrease function
false, it should enhance function
_______ is the end goal, this can be in regards to a sport or the patients ADL’s, such as tying up their hair or tying their shoes
function
“function” includes which of the following
a) mobility&stability
b) neuromuscular control
c)balance & muscle control
d) performance & cardiopulmonary endurance
e) all of the above
e) all of the above
______ is the process of elongation of contractile OR non contractile tissues
stretching
non contractile tissues include ________ & _______
ligaments and joint capsules
_______ stretching is sustained or intermittent external end range stretch force, applied with over pressure
passive
T/F mm contraction is not at all important for venous return
False; it can be very important
_______ stretch is any stretching done by the patient after instruction
self
______ stretching is an active movement that takes the joints and muscles through their ROM
dynamic
T/F with dynamic stretching one should always go past the end range to get the most value out of the stretch
FALSE! never go past the end range
dynamic stretching should be _______ what your patient is going to be doing
mimicking
______ deformation is a spring-like response, the stretched material returns to its original length
elastic
T/F Elastic deformation is an abnormal response
False, it is a regular response
_______ deformation is a “putty” like response, the tissues can be deformed as you add force, results impermanent deformation
plastic
______ is when force is applied for an extended period of time, the tissue elongates and will not return to it’s original length
Creep
Give an example of creep
valgus presentation at the knee will stress MCL therefore lengthening it causing instability
______ is a stretch well beyond the normal ROM of a joint and surrounding soft tissue
Overstretch
T/F Overstretch will lead to injury due to the micro tearing and inflammatory response
True
Contracture is caused by ______ ______ due to postural dysfunction, weakness, pain or decreased ROM
adaptive shortening
T/F sometimes contracture is indicated due to it acting as a protective mechanism for the joint and as the therapist you should not destabilize it
True
