Anatomy Trains Flashcards
What are anatomy trains?
Myofascial lines of strain and tension that are important for stability and postural compensation
Some people say they can feel changes in the weather before it happens. How is this possible
Superficial fascia responds to temperature and pressure
How does the deep fascia function in motor coordination?
proprioception
Like the rigid pieces in a tensegrity model the joints should______ in the soft tissue
“Float”
The superficial back line has (fast or slow) twitch muscle and is used for (posture or flexion)
Slow/ posture
SFL is fast
When the superficial front line is weak what is the affect on the superficial back line
Back extension, lacks support for the back
How does overtraining the biceps in humans affect the ROM of the elbow
Excess tension in the biceps leads to flexure contraction of the elbow
