Chapter 14 Flexibilty Training Concepts Flashcards
Define flexibility
Normal extension of soft tissue that allow for complete ROM of a joint
What does flexibility affect
It influence mobility during dynamic motion
What happens if someone’s has poor flexibility
The HMS seeks path of lees resistance during functional movements. May cause postural stress
What is HMS
Human muscular system. AKA the kinetic chain. It’s invaded the skeletal, muscular and nervous system. There is the upper and lower HMS
How may muscular imbalance come about?
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Synergistic dominance
Postural distortion
Repetitive movement
Cumulative trauma
Emotional duress
Poor training technique
Poor bodily control
Osteokinematics
Arthokinematics
What is synergistic dominance
When the synergistic muscle takes over function of the weak or inhibited prime mover
Define osteokinematics
How are bones and joint move in ROM (flexion, extension, rotation
Define arthokinematics
The types of joints like saddle, pivot, ball socket
Define neuromuscular efficiency
It’s the body ability to recruit the correct muscle to produce force, reduce force and dynamically stabilize the body structures in all three planes of motion. ( kinda like motor summation)
What type of flexibility exercise are there?
Self-myofasical techniques, active stretching, static stretching and dynamic stretching
Define self myo fascial
Like regular massaging either through rubbing or pressure paint. It’s thought to create a neurophysiological effect on myofascial tissues
How to do static stretching?
Passively take a muscle to the point of tension (pulling , stretching feeling) and hold for a minimum of 30 seconds
How to do active stretching
Individual will use both agonist and synergistic to dynamically move a joint into ROM holding for 1-2 seconds and repeating 5-10 times
How to do dynamic stretching
Use force production of a muscle and body momentum to take a joint through full available ROM
What are some thing a CPT need to consider when training flexibility?
Controversial stretching, medical precautions, and contrainditions to program a safe and reliable flexibility training for indidcudal clients
