Question 1

static stretchin

Answer 1

stretch held in challenging but comfortable position for 10-30 sec

Question 2

dynamic stretching

Answer 2

stretch by moving through challenging but comfortable range of motion
10-12 x
more benefits for range of motion and function

Question 3

passive stretching

Answer 3

using outside assistance to help achieve stretch

like weight, leverage, strap, gravity etc

Question 4

risk of passive stretching

Answer 4

that external force stronger than muscle flexibility

Question 5

active stretching

Answer 5

stretching a muscle by contracting muscle in opposition to one being stretched
do not use external device
can be challenging

Question 6

safer: active or passive stretching

Answer 6

active because force limited to that of the person

Question 7

Toe lifts good for what conditions

Answer 7

forefoot pronation
pes planus
plantar fasciitis
lower extremity dysfunction
strenthens intrinsic muscles of the foot

Question 8

how to do a tow lift

Answer 8

stand with neutral pelvic rotation (tail tucked) and knees soft so neutral position of femur on tibia
kift heels 1 inch keeping all 10 toes on floor
hold 30 sec
toes that lift up indicated specific muscle dysfunction

Question 9

passive piriformis stretch

Answer 9

cross foot over opp knee

hold 10-30 sec

Question 10

active piriformis stretch

Answer 10

cross one foot over opp knee
use opp leg to push ipsi leg cephalad
hold 10-30 sec

Question 11

pigeon pose affects what muscle

Answer 11

piriformis

Question 12

explain pigeon pose

Answer 12

flex hip and knee and place leg in front
extend other leg behind
drop torso onto forearms

Question 13

passive hamstring stretch

Answer 13

stand uprigth and raise leg on object

keep leg straight and toes point up, lead forward with back straight

Question 14

dynamic hamstring stretches

Answer 14

bend hips to 90 degrees and flex knees
keep pelvis in anterior tilt
extend knees and push ischial tuberosities up to ceiling

Question 15

active psoas stretch

Answer 15

start kneeling on floor with one leg flexed at knee
invert foot on floor
keep torso erect with neutral pelvic rotation
contract glut max and advance to lunge

Question 16

describe alpha motor neuron

Answer 16

stretching muscle causes spindle to discharge more= muscle lengthening
contracting muscle causes spindle to be silent (shorteninng)

Question 17

what sensory organ responds to stretch and contraction

Answer 17

golgi tendon

initiates inhibitory reflex arc to prevent overloading muscle

Question 18

joint stabilization

Answer 18

stimulating limb flexor and extensor mm

Question 19

slow twitch fibers

Answer 19

postural
oxidative metabolism
high capillary density
twitch speed slow
type I myosin heavy chain

Question 20

fast twitch fibers

Answer 20

shortening and tightening
glycolytic metabolism
fatigue rapidly
low capillary density
twitch speed is fast
type II myosin heavy chain

Question 21

psoas muscle fiber content

Answer 21

type I have large cross sectional area over type II
type I in L1-L4
type II in caudal portion

Question 22

sumo wrestler exercise

Answer 22

feet 18 " apart
flex knees and hips
round lumbar spin
use glut max to push pubes anteriorly
keeping pubes ant extend knees and hips
straighten spine by rotating hip joints
keep lordotic curve minimal

Question 23

pelvic clock

Answer 23

using multifides, rotatores, erector spinae move naval to each position
do not use legs to push pelvis
monitor via ASIS

Question 24

muscle dysfunction in hip

Answer 24

weak glut med and max
tight iliopsoas, rectus femoris, piriformis, adductors and TFL
extends into weak abdominals
tight erector spinae

Question 25

muscle dysfunction of shoulder region

Answer 25

weak: supra and infra spinatus, deltoid, rhomboids, lower traps, serratus anterior
tight: levator scapula, upper traps, pecs
extend into weak longus colli

Question 26

lower crossed syndrome

Answer 26

weak glut max and tight hip flexors
weak abdominals and short lumbar erector spinae
weak glut med and minimus, short TFL and quadratus lumborum
ant pelvic tilt and increased lumbar lordosis
hypermobility in lowest lumbar levels

Question 27

upper crossed syndrome

Answer 27

tight upper traps and levator scapulae
weak lower trap and serratus ant
weak deep cervical flexors(longus colli)
tight pec and SCM

Question 28

goal for Tx lower crossed syndrome

Answer 28

strengthen glut max and med
lengthen iliopsoas, rectus femoris
engage abdominals
cause pelvis to move into neutral tilt

Question 29

“short foot” exercise

Answer 29

able to shorten foot elevating medial arch without curling toes
