PNF Stretching PDF (not all-inclusive)

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
show Specialized sensory receptors located within joints, muscles, & tendons  
🗑
What do proprioceptors do?   show
🗑
Processing of proprioceptive information   show
🗑
show Receptor Sensory neuron Integration center Motor neuron Effector  
🗑
What is the receptor?   show
🗑
What is a sensory neuron?   show
🗑
Simple reflex arc?   show
🗑
show Multiple synapses with chains of interneurons- polysynaptic reflexes (withdrawal or crossed-extension)  
🗑
Parts of a Muscle Spindle   show
🗑
show Rate & degree of stretching  
🗑
What does stretching do to the muscle spindle?   show
🗑
show Reduces tension on the spindle & lowers the rate of action potential generation  
🗑
show Extrafulsal fibers are excited, causing the muscle to contract This contraction attempts to prevent the muscle from stretching any further  
🗑
Afferent Impulses   show
🗑
show Inhibits action of the antagonist, which effectively prevents antagonist from resisting contraction. This is called reciprocal inhibition.  
🗑
show Tendons near the musculotendinous junction  
🗑
show Muscle stretch. As muscle tension increases, impulses from the GTO increase. Neural input from GTOs inhibits muscle activation  
🗑
GTOs send afferent signals to CNS interneurons to perform 2 functions. What are they?   show
🗑
Overal, what happens because of the GTO reflex?   show
🗑
What is reciprocal inhibition?   show
🗑
What is autogenic inhibition?   show
🗑
What is disinhibition?   show
🗑
How does PNF compare to other types of stretching?   show
🗑
show at least 4  
🗑
show 3-10 seconds  
🗑
show 65% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction  
🗑
show Range-limiting mm is lengthened to point of limitation; Pt performs sub-max isometric contraction for 5-8" then relaxes; Limb is passively moved into new range as the muscle is elongated  
🗑
show Same as hold-relax, except instead of an isometric contraction a strong, small range isotonic contraction of the restricting mm (5-8") is performed. Rotation should be allowed during contract-relax.  
🗑
show Take advantage of autogenic inhibition from GTOs  
🗑
show Acute injury or if active ROM is painful; If contraction of restricting mm is too painful/weak, can reverse the direction of contraction  
🗑
Hold-Relax with Agonist Contraction   show
🗑
show Autogenic & Recriprocal; Agonist contraction may also be useful for initiating neuromuscular control in newly gained ROMs.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
