TherEx Flashcards
Q: How can posture effect TherEx? (2)
- Watch for compensatory mechanism
- Can lead to other injury
Q: In which phase does pain occur with activity or motion of involved area?
Sub-acute
Q: What is another name for the sub-acute phase?
Migratory/Proliferative Phase
Q: At what length is the greatest tension produced?
Near or at resting length
Q: What is an illness script?
Decision making that gets right to the point and treats the problem
Q: What is the plyometric theory related to the neurophysiological model?
Stretch reflex occurs as a response to overstretching, reaction is to recoil spring into concentric contraction
Term: The body’s ability to transmit position sense, interpret the information and respond consciously or unconsciously to stimulation through appropriate execution of posture and movement
Proprioception
Content: Intervention for Collagen
Modified tension in the line of stress
Q: In which phase does scar tissue density and tensile strength increase?
Chronic
Term: Increase in fiber size
Hypertrophy
Defn: Medical model
Scan, Illness scripts
Content: How to calculate DAPRE (5)
- 0-2 reps decrease 5-10#
- 3-4 reps decrease 0-5#
- 5-6 reps keep same weight
- 7-10 reps increase 5-10#
- 11+ increase 10-15#
Q: In which phase is the area red, warm, swollen, and painful?
Acute
Defn: Algorithms
If and then
Content: Exercise selection (3)
- Multiple exercises for the same muscle group
- Stable and unstable surfaces
- Incorporate interval training
Term: The ability to perform smooth, accurate, and controlled movements.
Coordination
Q: What is the exercise prescription for a power training objective?
Rest 2-5 min, sets 2-4, reps 3-6
Diagram: Oddvar Holten Curve
T/F: Greater torques are produced at higher speeds.
False: lower
Q: What is the goal of a therapeutic exercise program?
Optimal level of symptom free movement during basic to complex physical activities
Q: In which phase does macrophage and fibroblast activity diminish?
Chronic
Q: Is our definition of normal strength really a measurement of strength?
No, also need to look at endurance (a different type of strength)
Content: Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) (4)
- can occur 48-72 hours after exercise
- usually related to eccentric exercise or lack of preparation
- low load and high rep will assisst in healing
- proper hydration and nutrition are key
Content: Other considerations for TherEx (6)
- Posture/position
- Muscle type, contraction, fibers
- Repetition
- Rest/recovery
- Periodization
- Substitution
Q: In which phase is ROM and strength limited?
Sub-acute
Q: In which phase is there capillary growth, granulation tissue formation, fibroblast proliferation with collagen synthesis, and increased macrophage activity?
Sub-acute
T/F: The length tension relationship can be altered by pt. position, thus positional weakness should be considered for MMT and TherEx.
True
Term: TherEx - sensory input used either to facilitate or inhibit a response
Element
Content: Parts of the intervention definition (5)
- Exercise to prevent muscular atrophy
- Restoring joint and muscle function
- Increasing muscular strength
- Improving efficient cardiovascular and pulmonary function
- Neurological elements
Q: What is the exercise prescription for an endurance training objective?
Very short rest periods, 2-3 sets, reps > 15
Q: In which phase is there coagulation and WBCs present?
Acute
Q: In which phase is there pain present at rest and with motion of the involved area?
Acute
Q: What is the PT problem solving approach?
Assess needs > develop a plan > implement plan > evaluate plan > ALWAYS return to ASSESS needs
Q: Which fiber type can generate large amounts of tension, but fatigue quickly?
Type 2A-B
Content: What 3 questions can you ask for any type of TherEx
- Does the pt. have the available ROM?
- What motion do you need to perform this stance?
- What exercises can you prescribe to achieve this?
Q: What does the overload principle look like for endurance training?
Emphasis on increasing time muscle contraction is sustained or number of repetitions performed
T/F: During eccentric contractions, increased speed of lengthening produces more tension.
True
Q: What is the overload principle?
Progressive loading of the muscle by manipulating intensity or volume of the exercise
