MET Flashcards
1
Q
How
A
20-50% pressure
Resist for 10s
Stretch for 15-25s- during refractory period
Aiming to regain normal ROM not inc flexibility
2
Q
Normal bind
A
Progressive tension build up, fluid= dec ROM, spongy
3
Q
Physiological bind
A
End point= tight + tugging
4
Q
Fibrotic bind
A
Quick + harsh- still remains elastic
5
Q
Hypermobile bind
A
Loose and inc ROM
6
Q
Bony tissue bind
A
Reduced ROM, sudden + hard
7
Q
Contraindications
A
Open wounds
Fractures
8
Q
Physiology
A
Contraction triggers Golgi tendon
Afferent impulse to dorsal root of spinal cord
Meets inhibitory motor neurone to prevent further contraction
Muscle tone decreases, resulting in agonist relaxing + lengthening
