TYPES OF RESISTANCE

A

TYPES OF RESISTANCE

53
Q

What are the 3 main categories for Forms of Resistance?

A
  • Constant vs. Variable
  • Open vs. Closed Chain
  • Manual vs. Mechanical
54
Q

What is a constant resistance exercise?

A
Dynamic exercise (isotonic) against constant external resistance (DCER)
-example is curling a dumbbell
55
Q

What is the limitation of constant resistance exercises?

A

Limitation of DCER is that the working muscle is only maximally challenged at one point during the arc of motion.

56
Q

What is a variable resistance?

A

Involves variable levels of resistance using a pulley and weight system
-example is an elastic band

57
Q

What is isokinetic training?

A

Velocity of resistance is kept constant throughout the entire joint’s ROM.

58
Q

What are the positives of isokinetic training?

A
  • can exercise at a wide range of velocities
  • specific velocities of training that correlate to specific tasks and function
  • concentric and/or eccentric contraction
  • the resistance applied = the force being applied the the extremity, this may allow for patient to perform increased number of reps as fatigue begins to set in
  • accomodate exercise to pain, less resistance through the painful arc, but still allowing for reps to occur
59
Q

What are the negatives of isokinetic training?

A
  • limited evidence of how this training carries over to function
  • isolation of a single muscle and is uniplanar
  • does not involve weight bearing
  • patient cannot typically carry over isokinetic programs
60
Q
  • What is open chain?

- What is closed chain?

A

Open Chain
-Distal segments are free to move in space without necessitating simultaneous motions at other joints
Closed Chain
-Motions where body moves on distal segments that is fixed or stabilized on a support surface; typically performed in weight bearing positions

61
Q

Weight bearing is typically though of as ______ chain and non weight bearing is typically thought of as _______ chain.

A
  • closed

- open

62
Q

For each of the following statements, indicate whether it is open chain or closed chain:

  1. ) Joint approximation in weight bearing and axial loading is associated with less shear force than open chain activity, leading to increased stability of the joint
  2. ) Weight bearing positions stimulate mechanoreceptors and proprioceptors → activates both agonists and antagonists → better stability
  3. ) May be superior in isolating one muscle group
  4. ) May have better outcomes for those working to improve balance
  5. ) Greater level of control can be achieved with a single moving joint; may be advantageous in early stages of rehabilitation
  6. ) Option for those who have limited weight bearing status
  7. ) Better for those who have soft tissue inflammation or pain
  8. ) Increased likelihood for substitution due to multiple joints moving
  9. ) Necessitates the functional challenge of multiple muscles being activated for postural support; may have improved carry over for those who have postural weakness
  10. ) At times can be more easily replicated for initial exercise program
A
  1. ) closed chain
  2. ) closed chain
  3. ) open chain
  4. ) closed chain
  5. ) open chain
  6. ) open chain
  7. ) open chain
  8. ) closed chain

General Guidelines for Manual Resistance:

  • Ensure appropriate body ________ for yourself as treating therapist
  • Keep patient’s limb _______ to you for optimization of control
  • Use a gradual, graded technique when _______ or ________ resistance
  • Employing ________ commands is very helpful; be sure to coordinate the timing of your commands with the applied resistance to elicit the contraction and response you desire
A
  • mechanics
  • close
  • applying or releasing
  • verbal commands
66
Q

What are the advantages of manual resistance?

A
  • Effective in early rehabilitation; good way to transition to mechanical resistance
  • Therapist can perform more “fine tuning” in grading resistance
  • Able to challenge the muscle to work at it’s maximum potential through entire ROM
  • Can utilize statically or dynamically
  • Easily adjust resistance or patient position
  • Requires/ allows for more direct contact with the patient
67
Q

What are the disadvantages of manual resistance?

A
  • Exercise load applied is subjective, cannot be measured
  • Resistance applied is limited to strength of the therapist
  • Cannot be safely performed at higher speeds
  • Not useful for transition into home program unless caregiver is trained consistently and adequately
  • Labor and time intensive for therapist
  • Not practical for improving muscular endurance
68
Q

What is some common equipment used for mechanical resistance training?

A
  • free weights
  • pulley systems
  • variable resistance units
  • elastic bands
  • dynamic stabilization equipment
  • closed chain related equipment
69
Q

What are the advantages of mechanical resistance?

A
  • Obj. measure resistance and repeat, progress easily
  • Appropriate for patients in the intermediate/ advanced stages of rehabilitation or when the patient’s strength is greater than the therapist’s ability to apply force
  • Appropriate for building muscular endurance allowing for a high number of repetitions
  • Certain pneumatic machines allow for variable resistance/ velocities
  • Can be carried over into HEP with training and initial supervision
70
Q

What are the disadvantages of mechanical resistance?

A
  • Not appropriate with very weak muscles or soft tissues in early stages of healing
  • Only maximally challenges muscle at one point during the range of motion
  • Cable weight and pneumatic systems can be expensive
  • Machines, elastic bands and free weights are manufacturer specific
71
Q

With free weights, we need to consider the _______ and joint angles at which the muscle is going to be maximally loaded.

A

levers

72
Q

What are the advantages to free and pulley weight training?

A

-Positions easily varied; more muscle groups accessible
Stabilizing muscles required!*
-Multiple movement patterns are feasible*
-Depending on equipment availability, resistance can be graduated by small increments
-Easily incorporating into HEP (potentially depending on availability of equipment)

73
Q

What are the disadvantages to free and pulley weight training?

A
  • Due to the requirement of appropriate stabilization, may take longer for proper form and correct alignment to be achieved
  • Must ensure controlled movement to minimize unsafe acceleration and deceleration and end range movements; risk for joint damage
  • By necessitating slow/controlled movements may have less direct functional carry over for quicker activities
  • Spotter/ assistance necessary when utilizing heavier free weights/ bar bells
74
Q

Elastic resistance exercise provides __________ resistance through properties of elongation.

A

variable

75
Q

What are the advantages of elastic exercise?

A
  • Portable
  • Inexpensive
  • Easy to set up for home programs
  • Safe to exercise at higher velocities
  • Able to exercise in multiple planes of movement
  • No external stabilization, adds postural challenge*
76
Q

What are the disadvantages of elastic exercise?

A
  • Needs replaced (especially ones used frequently in the clinic) on a routine basis
  • Material fatigue: occurs most significantly in first 20-50 stretch cycles; however after this studies support bands do not have a substantial loss in elastic tension until more than 5000 cycles of stretch occur!
  • LATEX ALLERGY PRECAUTIONS!
  • Lack of “standardized” resistance; company dependent; may be more difficult to document progress
77
Q

BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION THERAPY

A

BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION THERAPY

78
Q

What is blood flow restriction therapy?

A
  • Training method involving applying a tourniquet system to the most proximal region of the UE/LE.
  • This partially restricts arterial flow and fully restricts venous flow in muscle that is being exercised.
  • This results in inadequate O2 supply in the muscle tissue.
  • Compression of venous outflow results in blood pooling in capillaries.
  • When muscle contractions are performed, there is an increase in intramuscular pressure which further disturbs blood flow.
79

  • aerobic exercise
  • passively without exercise
80
Q

81
Q

A

High load resistance

82
Q

If high load resistance is better than BFR, then why would we use BFR?
