| Question | Answer | |
|---|---|---|
| ue flexor synergies | scapular elevation and retraction; shoulder abduction and external rotation; elbow flexion; forearm supination; wrist and finger flexion | na |
| le flexor synergies | pelvis elevates and retracts; hip flexion, abduction, and ER; knee flexion; ankle df and inversion; toe df | na |
| dynamic reversals (slow reversals) | utilizzes isotonic contractions of first agonists, then antagonists performed against resistance. through full ROM. | impaired strength and coordination b/n agonist and antagonist, limitations in ROM, fatigue |
| stabilizing reversals | utilizes alternating isotonic contractions of first agonists, then antagonists against resistance, allowing only very limited ROM | impaired strength, stability and balance, coordination |
| rhythmic stabilization | utilizes alternatining isometric contractions of first agonists, then antagonists against resistance; no motion is allowed | impaired strength and coordination, limitations in ROM, impaired stabilization control and balance |
| agonist reversals | resisted concentric contraction of agonist mms moving through the range is followed by a stabilizing contraction (holding) and then eccentric, lengthening contraction, moving slowly back. | weak postural mms, inability to eccentrically control body wt during mvmt transitions, poor dynamic postural control |
| rhythmic initiation | voluntary relaxation followed by passive mvmts progressing to active assisted and active resisted mvmts to finally active mvmts. | inability to relax, hypertonicity, difficulty initiating mvmt |
| rhythmic rotation | relaxation is achieved w/ slow, repeated rotation of a limb at a pt where limitation is noticed. as mms relax the limb is slowly and gently moved into the range. | relaxation of excess tension in mms (hypertonia) combined w/ PROM of the range limiting mms |
