hypertonisity
refers to a muscle that is usually shortened and as a lowered threshold.
Hypotonicity
refers to a muscle that is usually lengthened and has a raised threshold
hyperactivity
it will contract faster or sooner
hypoactivity
it will contract slower or not at all. other muscles will substitute
upper crossed syndrome
muscles that shorten and tighten: pectoralis minor and major, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, SCM.
Muscles that weaken: lower and middle trapezius, serratus anterior, rhomboids, deep neck flexors
consequences: forward head carriage,rotation and abduction of scapulae, refered pain to chest shoulders, arms, TMJ problems, inapropriate breathing function
Lower crossed syndrome
Muscles that shorten and tighten: hip flexors (iliopsoas, rectus femoris,…), erector spinae group, quadratus lumborum, piriformis
muscles that weaken: abdominal, gluteals
consequences: anterior pelvis tilt, increased lumbar lordosis, decreased trunk stability
Active end range
occurs when patient has maximally contracted the muscles controling a particular motion
Passive end range
occurs when patient passivley moves a joint from active end range through physilogic/ elastic joint range. aka joint play
Paraphysiologic (SPACE) end range
a short range that occurs between the passive end range and the anatomical limit of the joint
Anatomic end range
the anatomical barrier is the limit of anatomic integrity
Hooke’s law
deformation (resulting from strain ) imposed on an elastic body is in porportion to the stress (force/load) placed on it
strain
change in shape, deformation, as a result of stress
Creep
continued deformation (increasing strain) of a tissue over time under a constant load (traction, compression, twist)
Wolff’s Law
tissues deform in relation to the lines of force imposed on them
Passive Insuffiecency
when full ROM is limited by the antagonist muscle length rather than by the joint and the joint structures themselves
active Insufiency
refers to lack of agonist muscle strength
class one muscles
test from shortest position
One joint muscles
ex.) tricep, deltoid, iliopsoas
Class two muscles
test from mid range
2 joint muscles
- can span both joints, can concentrically contract simultaneously over both joints
ex. ) sartorious
