Question
Answer
Flexibility   the ability to move a joint or series of joints through full, unrestricted, pain-free ROM. Determined by joint ROM and soft tissue extensibility  
🗑
Stretching   any therapeutic maneuver designed to increase soft tissue mobility. Facilitating elongation of tissue  
🗑
Contracture   adaptive muscular shortening  
🗑
hypermobility   increased joint ROM beyond what is generally considered to be typical for a joint or joints  
🗑
Hypomobility   restricted motion caused by adaptive shortening of soft tissues around a joint  
🗑
over stretching   stretching to elongate a tissue beyond limitation  
🗑
Synergist muscles   muscles that work together to produce a given movement  
🗑
Agonist Muscle   contracting muscle  
🗑
Antagonist Muscle   stretched muscle  
🗑
Reciprocal Inhibition   Contracting agonist, relaxing antagonist  
🗑
Length-Tension relationship   Muscle's ability to develop tension based on position of muscle at time of contraction  
🗑
When is peak force of muscle contraction   at mid range of motion  
🗑
What causes a muscle to generate less force   Limited muscle flexiblity  
🗑
What is the effect of muscle Tightness   effects joint mechanics, posture and injury. Loss of ROM  
🗑
Factors affecting muscle function and length   connective tissue contracture, abnormal bony structure, soft tissue approximation, scar tissue  
🗑
Soft tissue approximation   muscle mass and adipose limits ROM  
🗑
Properties of connective tissue   Elasticity, Extensibility, failure  
🗑
Elasticity   stretch and return to resting length  
🗑
Extensibility   Ability to take on new length when stretched  
🗑
failure   partial tearing/scaring  
🗑
Stretch reflex   stimulation of mechanoreceptors that inform the CNS about musculotendinous length and tension.  
🗑
Golgi Tendon Organ   Mechanoreceptor in tendon that respond to muscle lengthening and muscle tension. Cause a reflexive relaxation of involved muscle  
🗑
Autogenic inhibition   reflexive relaxation of muscle.  
🗑
Reciprical inhibition   increased firing of the GRO and a net decrease in overall muscle tension in the antagonist muscle during isometric contraction  
🗑
Muscle spindle   mechanoreceptor inside muscle that respond to changes in muscle length  
🗑
Plasticity   the ability of the soft tissue to assume a new length when a strech is applied  
🗑
Failure(partial or complete rupture)   when soft tissue fibers are stretched beyond their limits  
🗑
cyclic loading   the repeated application of stretching. low load long duration stretching is repeatedly applied to shortened tissues  
🗑
Ballistic stretching   high intenisty stretch that will likely result in firing the muscle spindles and stimulation of the monosynaptic stretch reflex.  
🗑
monosynaptic stretch reflex   muscle shorten to limit the effects of the stretching procedure  
🗑
Active Warmup   increasing soft tissue extensibility by increasing tissue temperatures, allowing for more relaxation and better elongation of shortened tissues.  
🗑
Thermotherapy   Superficial heating, including the application of moist hot packs, fluidotherapy, warm whirlpool baths, and paraffin. Deep therapy includes ultrasound and diathermy  
🗑
Stretching window   the amount of time the clinician has to apply a stretch after removal of the modality... Less than 3 minutes  
🗑
Cryotherapy   decreasing soft tissue extensibility and henderance of elongation of soft tissue extensibilty.  
🗑
Ballistic Stretching   technique in which the patient or clinician performs dynamic elongation of the muscle beyond the muscle's normal range of motion  
🗑
Dynamic stretching   actively moving a joint or joints quickly through their normal range of motion so as to slightly elongate muscles and significantly increase blood flow to tissues.  
🗑
Static stretching   passive stretching which can be performed by the clinician, a partner, or the patient. Slow passive movement beyond the involved tissue's normal ROM  
🗑
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation stretching (PNF)   an approach that combines functionally based patterns of diagonal movement with neuromuscular facilitate techniques to evoke motor responses aimed at improving muscular control and function in preparation for activity.  
🗑
Hold-Relax Technique (PNF)   involves lengthening a tight muscle and asking the patient to isometrically contract this muscle for several seconds, as the patient relaxes, the clinician lengthens the involved muscle further to new end ROM  
🗑
Hold-relax with agonist contraction   same procedures as hold-relax technique; however, after the tight muscle is contracted isometrically against the clinician's resistance, the patient now concentrically contracts the muscle opposite the tight muscle to actively move the joint ROM to SS.  
🗑
Contract-relax   passively lengthens the tight muscle to its end range. patient concentric contraction of tight muscle through full range. mild resistance applied during contracture. restretch tight muscle  
🗑
Neural tension techniques   stretching aimed at decreasing adverse mechanical tension on nerves. Slow controlled elongation of the nerve to allow for better neural glide.  
🗑
