Muscular Imbalance Flashcards
1
Q
Altered reciprocal inhibition
A
Concept of muscle inhibition, caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits it’s functional antagonist
2
Q
Synergistic dominance
A
The neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak or inhibited prime mover
3
Q
Arthrokinematics
A
The motions of joints in the body
4
Q
Arthrokinetic dysfunction
A
Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint
5
Q
Pattern overload
A
Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stresses on the body
6
Q
Reciprocal inhibition
A
Simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of its antagonist to allow movement to take place
