|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agnostic Reversals (AR) | • Isotonic concentric contraction performed against resistance followed by alternating con. and ecc. contractions with resistance. Use slow and sequential manner, used in increments of range to attain maximal control.
• controlled mobility, skill
🗑
|
||||
| Alternating Isometrics (AI) | • Isometric contractions are performed alternating from muscles on one side of the joint to the other side without rest. Emphasizes endurance or strengthening.
• stability
🗑
|
||||
| Contract-Relax (CR) | • Increases ROM. As the extremity reaches the point of limitation the pt. performs a max. contraction of the antagonist m. group. Therapist resists mvt. for 8-10 secs w/ relaxation to follow. Repeat until no further gains in ROM are made.
• mobility
🗑
|
||||
| Hold-Relax (HR) | • Isometric contraction to increase ROM. Contract for all muscles w/ limited ROM. Relaxation occurs and extremity moves through new ROM to next limitation until no further increase occur. Often used for patients with pain.
• Mobility
🗑
|
||||
| Hold-Relax Active Movement (HRAM) | • to improve initiation of movement, MMT gr. 1/5 or less. Place limb in shortened range, isometric contract. Overflow and facilitation assist contraction. Relax limb, lengthen w/ quick stretch. Return to shortened w/ isometric contraction.
• Mobility
🗑
|
||||
| Joint Distraction | • Proprioceptive component used to increase ROM around a joint. Consistent manual traction provided slowly and usually in combination with mobilization techniques. Also used with quick stretch to initiate movement.
• Mobility
🗑
|
||||
| Normal Timing (NT) | •Used to improve coordination of all components of task. NT performed distal to proximal sequence. Proximal components are restricted until distal components are activated and initiate movement. Repetition produces a coordinated movement.
• Skill
🗑
|
||||
| Repeated Contraction (RC) | • Used to initiate movement pattern throughout a weak movement pattern, or at a point of weakness within a movement pattern. Therapist provides a quick stretch followed by isometric or isotonic contraction.
• Mobility
🗑
|
||||
| Resisted Progression (RP) | • A technique used to emphasize coordination of proximal components during gait. Resistance is applied to an area such as pelvis, hips, or extremity during the gait cycle in order to enhance coordination, strength, endurance.
• Skill
🗑
|
||||
| Rhythmic Initiation (RI) | • Used to assist initiating movement with hypertonia. Movement progresses from passive (let me move you), to active assist (help me move you), to slight resist (move against me). Move slow & rhythmic to reduce hypertonia and allow full ROM.
• Mobility
🗑
|
||||
| Rhythmic Rotation (RR) | • Passive technique used to decrease hypertonia by slowly rotating an extremity around the longitudinal axis. Relaxation of the extremity will increase ROM.
• Mobility
🗑
|
||||
| Rhythmic Stabilization (RR) | • To inc. ROM and coordinate isometric contract. Isometric contraction of all mm. around jt. against progressive resist. pt. relax, move into new ROM and repeat. For stability, start w/ AI to stabilize all m. groups around body part.
• Mobility, stabilit
🗑
|
||||
| Slow Reversals (SR) | • Slow and resisted concentric contractions of agonists and antagonists around a joint without rest between reversals. Used to improve control of movement and posture.
• Stability, Controlled Mobility, Skill
🗑
|
||||
| Slow Reversal Hold (SRH) | • Slow reversals with the addition of an isometric contraction that is performed at the end of each movement in order to gain stability.
• Stability, Controlled Mobility, Skill
🗑
|
||||
| Timing for Emphasis (TE) | • Strengthen the weak component of a motor pattern. Isotonic and isometric contractions produce overflow to weak muscles.
• Skill
🗑

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.
