(7 cards)
1
Q
Agonist Reversals (AR)
A
Controlled mobility, skill
Isotonic concentric contraction followed by alternating concentric and eccentric contractions
2
Q
Alternating Isometrics (AI)
A
Stability
Isometric contractions alternating muscle groups without rest
3
Q
Contract-Relax (CR)
A
Mobility
Max contraction of the antagonist at the point of limitation then 8-10 sec relaxation
4
Q
Hold Relax (HR)
A
Mobility
Isometric contraction of all muscle gross + relax
Used for patients with pain
5
Q
Hold-Relax Active Movement (HRAM)
A
Mobility
For muscles MMT 1/5
Isometric contraction when muscle is placed in shortened position + quick stretch
6
Q
Joint Distraction
A
Mobility
7
Q
Normal Timing (NT)
A
Skill
Done in distal to proximal order, proximal restricted until distal joint moves
