9
Agonist Reversals
slow isotonic shortening contraction through range followed by eccentric lengthening of same muscle
10
agonist reversal indications
weak postural muscles
inability to eccentrically control body weight during movement transitions (sitting down)
11
approximation definition
joint compression
12
approximation indications
stimulate afferent nerve endings
facilitate postural extensors promoting stability
13
contract relax definition
isotonic movement in rotation followed by isometric hold of range limiting muscles in antagonist pattern against slowly increasing resistance then passive motion and active contraction of the agonist pattern
14
contract relax indications
limited range of motion caused by muscle tightness or spasticity
15
hold relax definition
isometric contraction of the antagonistic pattern against slowly increasing resistance followed by voluntary relaxation and passive movement into the new gained range of agonist pattern.
active contraction of the agonists can also be performed and relaxes the antagonist through reciprocal inhibition
16
hold relax indications
limitations in ROM due to tightness, spasm, or pain
17
repeated contractions definition
repeated isotonic contractions induced by quick stretches and enhanced by resistance performed though the range or part of the range at a point of weakness
18
repeated contractions indications
weakness
incoordination
muscle imbalances
lack of endurance
19
rhythmic initiation definition
voluntary relaxation followed by passive movement through increasing ROM, followed by active assisted contractions progressing to resisted isotonic contractions
20
rhythmic initiation indications
spasticity
rigidity
hypertonicity
inability to initiate motion (apraxia)
motor learning deficits
communication deficits (aphasia)
21
rhythmic stabilization definition
simultaneous isometric contractions of both agonist and antagonist patterns performed without relaxation using careful grading of resistance .
co-contraction of opposite muscle groups
22
rhythmic stabilization indications
instability in weight bearing and holding
poor antigravity control
weakness
ataxia
limited ROM caused by muscle tightness or painful muscle splinting
23
slow reversal/ slow reversal hold definition
alternating isotonic contractions of agonist then antagonist patterns using careful grading of resistance and optimal facilitation.
in hold - isometric hold is added at end of motion or point of weakness
24
slow reversal/ slow reversal hold indications
inability to reverse directions
muscle weakness or imbalances
incoordination
lack of endurance
25
traction definiton
separation of joint surfaces
