__________ posture pattern is a pattern that alternates in direction from area to area
Compensate
The most common observed pattern is: ___ ____ _____ ____ is the CoC1 joint
left- right - left- right
___________ posture pattern is a patter that doesn’t alternate
uncompensate
_________ patters arise from trauma, represent neg. adaptive modifications. Adaptation potential is minimal or absent.
uncompensated
Hypertonic refers to a muscle that is usually _______ and has a ________ threshold
shorterened , lowered threshold
- it will contract sooner/ faster
hypotonic refers to a muscle that is ______ and has a ________ threshold
lengthened, raised
- it will contract slower or not at all
- other muscles will help
synergist muscles help a ___________ muscle
hypotonic

“Tightness-Weakness” syndrome
Hypertonic (short) and weak
- contractile components have decreased extensibility
- Fascia and CT have decreased extensibility
RX for “Tightness-weakness” syndrom
- Increase visco-elasticity
- First : lengthen muscle & decrease TrPts
- Last: then Strengthen

- Gluteal
- Rectus Abdominis
- Serratus anterior
- Traps, lower and middle
- deep cervical flexors
- Upper limb extensors
- scalenes
- rhomboids
