| TE- timing for emphasis | Weakness within the ROM | Increase strength with in the ROM |
| AR- antagonist reversals | Muscle weakness around a joint | |
| RI- Rhythmic intitation | Decreased ROM, hypertonia | |
| HRAM- hold, relax, active motion | Hypertonia, decreased movement in one direction | |
| HR- Hold, relax | Muscle tightness on one side of the joint | |
| CR- contract, relax | Decreased ROM on one side of the joint | |
