| deep tendon reflexes (DTR) | involuntary muscle contraction in response to striking muscle tendon with reflex hammer; test used to determine whether muscles respond properly |
| reflex | a simple, automatic response to a sensory stimulus |
| range of motion testing (ROM) | a diagnostic procedure to evaluate joint mobility and muscle strength |
| Electromyography (EMG) | a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity within muscle fibers in response to nerve stimulation |
| muscle biopsy | removal of muscle tissue for microscopic examination |
| antispasmodic | administered to suppress smooth muscle contractions of the stomach, intestine, or bladder |
| skeletal muscle relaxant | administered to relax certain muscles and to relieve the stiffness, pain, and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, or other muscle injuries |
| Neuromuscular blockers | a drug that causes temporary paralysis by blocking the transmission of nerve stimuli to the muscles |
| ergonomics | The study of workplace equipment design or how to arrange and design devices, machines, or workspace so that people and things interact safely and most efficiently. |
| myofascial release | a specialized soft tissue manipulation technique used to ease the pain of conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, movement restrictions, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), and carpal tunnel syndrome |
| occupational therapy (OT) | consists of activities to promote recovery and rehabilitation to assist patients in performing the activities of daily living |
| activities of daily living (ADLs) | basic self-care tasks such as eating, bathing, toileting, walking, and dressing |
| physical therapy (PT) | treatment to prevent disability or restore function through the use of exercise, heat, massage, or other techniques |
| therapeutic ultrasound | utilizes high-frequency sound waves to treat muscle injuries by generating heat deep within muscle tissue |
| transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) | uses a device that delivers electrical impulses through the skin, which cause changes in muscles |
| fasciotomy | a surgical incision through the fascia to relieve tension or pressure |
| sports medicine physician | specializes in treating sports-related injuries of the bones, joints, and muscles |
| fascioplasty | surgical repair of fascia |
| tendonesis | surgical suturing of the end of a tendon to a bone |
| tenolysis | the release of a tendon from adhesions |
| myorrhaphy | surgical suturing of a muscle |
