Term
|
Definition
isotonic concentric contraction against resistance
followed by alternating concentric and eccentric contractions with resistance
used in a slow and sequential manner |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| isometric contractions performed by muscles on alternating sides of the joint without rest |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| at end-range, pt performs max contraction of antagonist mm, resisted by therapist for 8-10 sec |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| isometric contraction of all mm groups at the limiting point in the ROM |
|
|
Term
| Hold-Relax Active Movement |
|
Definition
(for mm groups tested at 1/5 or less)
Isometric contraction performed with mm in shortened range;
upon relaxation, extremity is immediately moved into a lengthened position with a quick stretch |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
proprioceptive component used to incr ROM;
consistent manual traction provided slowly |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
performed in distal to proximal sequence
proximal components are restricted until distal components are activated and initiate movement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| therapist provides quick stretch followed by isometric or isotonic contractions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Resistance applied to proximal component (hips, pelvis, etc) during the gait cycle to enhance coordination/strength/endurance |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
movement progresses from
passive >> active assistive >> slightly resistive
must be slow and rhythmical (reduce hypertonia)
(used to assist in initiating movement when hypertonia exists) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| slowly passively rotating an extremity around longitudinal axis (reduce hypertonia) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
isometric contractions of all mm around a joint against progressive resistance
(should be applied as a progression from Alternating Isometrics) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| slow and resisted concentric contractions of agonists and antagonists without rest |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| slow reversal with the addition of an isometric contraction at the end of each movement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
isotonic and isometric contractions producing overflow to weak muscles
(used to strengthen weak component of a motor pattern) |
