Ch 9 Flashcards
(125 cards)
Ability to maintain or control joint movement or position
Achieved by synergistic actions of the muscles, ligament and joint capsule and the neuromuscular system
_ must never be compromised
Joint stability
Joint mobility must not be compromised
Range of uninhibited movement around a joint or body segment
_ must never be compromised
Joint mobility
Joint stability must not be compromised
Specific movement of joint surfaces- rolling, gliding
Arthrokinematics
Movement efficiency=
Proximal stability promotes distal mobility
Lumbar spine is more _ than _
Stable - protecting low back from injury
Somewhat mobile - 15 degrees rotation
Thoracic spine is _
More mobile - allow for movement in upper extremities
Scapulothoracic is more_
Stable - rib cage and scapula for pushing and pulling
Foot stability varies during
4
Gait cycle -
Stability during push offs
Mobility - heel strike to accept body weight
ankle pronates and everts
foot forfeits some stability for MOBILITY to absorb impact forces

When Mobility is compromised the joint will seek to
Achieve desired ROM in another plane
Client performs birddog with hip extension and lacks flexibility in hip flexors in sagittal plane
Extended leg and hips externally rotate in the transverse place
Produces compensated movement pattern
_joints may need to compromise some stability to facilitate the level of mobility needed
Give example
Adjacent
Client with kyphosis attempts to extend thoracic spine an increase in lordosis occurs as a compensation for the lack of thoracic mobility
Lack of mobility contributed to 5
Repetitive movements Poor posture Side dominance Poor exercise technique Imbalanced strength training programs
Muscle imbalances alter 2
Physiological and neurological properties of muscles
Leads to dysfunctional movement
Inability to maintain muscle balance and neutrality at the joint
Movement compensations
Periods of inactivity when joints are held passively in shortened positions =
Example
Muscle shortening
Long periods of sitting without hip extension shortens hip flexors
Law of facilitation
Body achieves desired movement by path of least resistance
As the agonist _ the antagonist _
Shortens
Lengthens
relationship between actin and myosin (contractile proteins) and their force generating capacity
length-tension relationship
slight stretch of sarcomere beyond normal resting length, increases the spatial arrangement between the muscles contracting proteins and
increases force generating capacity
stretching the sarcomere beyond optimal length or shortening the sacromere beyond resting length =
decreases muscle’s force generating capacity
causes of muscle shortening 4
immobilization
passive shortening
trauma
aging
loss in the number of sarcomeres within the myofibril of the muscle fiber due to
muscle shortening
muscle has good force-generating capacity in shortened position, it will demonstrate:
reduced force generating capacity in normal resting length and lengthened positions
