What are the five massage strokes
effleurage, petrissage, friction, vibration, tapotement
This type of massage is considered stroking
effleurage
this type of massage is considered kneading
pestrissage
this is often used around joints and other areas where tissue is thin and on tissue that is especially unyielding such as scars, adhesions, muscle spasm, and fascia
friction
this massage method is also known as precussion, cupping, hacking, and pinching movements
tapotement
this is rapid movement that produces a quivering or trembling effect. It is used in sports due to its ability to relax and soothe
vibration
True or False: The greatest atrophy occurs in type I fibers
True
True or False: A muscle that is immobilized in a lengthened or neutral position tends to atrophy less
True
What type of exercise positively enhances mechanical properties of ligaments once immobilization has been removed
high frequency and short duration endurance exercise
These are in the joint capsules, ligaments, and skin and are sensitive to touch, tension, and possibly heat. These receptors are sensitive to change position to the joint and to the rate and direction of movement of the joint
Rufflinis corpuscles
these receptors are in the skin and responds to deep pressure
Pacinian corpuscles
these receptors are in the skin and activated by light touch
meissner corpuscles
these receptors are sensitive to mechanical, chemical or thermal energy
free nerve endings
_________ located in the muscle they are sensitive to changes in the length of that muscle
muscle spindles
__________ these are found at the musculotendinous junction and are sensitive to changes in muscle tension
Golgi tendon organ
physiological movement restricted what should the patient do
engage in stretching activities
accessory motion is limited what should the patient do
incorporate mobilization techniques into treatment program
this consists of a progressive series first of a passive movement then of active assistive movement followed by an active movement through an agonist pattern
rhythmic initiation
the patient moves isotonically against the massive resistance of the athletic trainer until he or she experiences fatigue then the stretch is applied to the point of range to facilitate greater strength
repeated contraction
in this technique the patient moves a body part isotonically using agonist muscles and immediately follows that movement with an isometric contraction
slow reversal hold
this method uses an isometric contraction of the agonist followed by an isometric contraction of the antagonist
rhythmic stabilization
the patient moves the body part to the point of resistance and is told to hold that position. The athletic trainer isometrically resists the muscle for 10 seconds, the patient is then told to relax for 10 seconds, then the body part is moved to a new range
Hold-Relax
the affected body part is passively moved until the resistance is felt, the patient is then told to contract the antagonist muscle isotonically, the athletic trainer resists the movement for 10 seconds or until the patient feels fatigued. the patient is instructed to relax for 10 seconds, repeated 3x
Contract-relax
this is a small amplitude glide at beginning of range
