Question | Answer |
Concentric contraction | (muscle visiably contracts) muscles applies enough force to overcome the resistance (the weight it is carrying) so that it shortens as it contracts |
Eccentric Contraction | muscle lengthens as it gains tension (opposite of isotonic) Example - running downhill |
isometric contraction | static contraction - tension on the muscle but no movement is made causing the length of the muscle to remain the same |
Isotonic contractions | muscle shortens as it contracts (all excerises) |
Acute phase | inflammatory state 1-4 days |
sub acute phase | Fibroblastic phase 5- 21 days |

petrissage | kneading, compression, milking muscle, |
ischemia | lack of blood supply |
Friction | small area at a time |

Vibration | oscillating, quivering or trembline motion, shaking |
direct pressure | i.e. on suboccpticals |
ischemic compression | i.e. on trigger point |
