Chapter 7

Question 1

States that soft tissue models along the lines of stress

Answer 1

Davis’s law

Question 2

Tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional mvmt patterns

Answer 2

Relative flexibility (leads to muscle imbalances)

Question 3

Alteration of a muscle surrounding a joint

Answer 3

Muscle imbalance

Question 4

Concept of muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist which inhibits its fxnl antagonist
(Tight psoas decrease the neural drive to the glutes)

Answer 4

Altered reciprocal inhibition

Question 5

Inappropriate muscles take over the function of a weak inhibited prime mover. Psoas tight, decrease glute…hamstring will take over

Answer 5

Synergistic dominance

Question 6

Simultaneous contraction of one muscle and relaxation of its antagonist

Answer 6

Reciprocal inhibition

Question 7

Difference b/w muscle spindles and GTO

Answer 7

Muscle spindles detect change in length, cause contract

GTO detect change in tension, cause relaxation

Question 8

prolonged Golgi tendon stimulation provides inhibitory action to the muscle spindles, this is called

Answer 8

Autogenic Inhibition

Question 9

Normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow the full ROM of a joint

Answer 9

Flexibility

Question 10

Three types of flexibility in the Flexibility Continuum. Name stretches performed in each and variables

Answer 10

Corrective- SMR; 30 seconds. Static; 1-3 sets 1 rep 30 sec
Active- SMR; 30 second; active isolated stretch; 1-2 sets, hold 1-2 seconds 5-10 reps
Functional -SMR; 30 seconds Dynamic 1 set 10-15 reps, 3-10 exercises

Question 11

Flexibility that is designed to correct and improve muscle imbalances, done in Phase 1

Answer 11

Answer 12

Active

Question 13

Establishes flexibility at higher and more realistic speeds

Answer 13

Functional

Question 14

What occurs with SMR

Answer 14

Underactive, weak

Question 22

How would u regress and progress an SMR stretch

Question 24

Capability of being elongated or stretched

Answer 24

extensibility

Question 25

Combo nation of flexibility and nervous systems ability to control ROM efficiently

Answer 25

Dynamic ROM

Question 26

The ability of the nervous system to allow agonist, antagonist, synergists, and stabilizers to work together to produce, reduce, and dynamically stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all 3 planes

Answer 26

Neuromuscular efficiency

Question 27

Predictable patterns of muscle flexibility

Answer 27

Postural distortion patterns

Question 28

Motion of joints

Answer 28

Answer 30

Static stretching

Question 31

stretch that uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a ROM

Answer 31

Active stretching

Question 32

Active extension of a muscle using force production and momentum to move a joint through full ROM

Answer 32

Dynamic stretching

Question 33

Name two mechanoreceptors

Answer 33

Question 34

Purpose of corrective flexibility

Answer 34

Increase joint ROM Improve muscle imbalances Correct altered joint motion

Question 35

Purpose of active flexibility

Answer 35

improve extensibility of soft tissue and increase neuromuscular efficient by using reciprocal inhibition
