Stretching (PTA 102)

loading
A type of stretching exercise which there is reflex inhibition and subsequent elogation of the contractile element's of muscle?
ACTIVE INHIBITION
Active Inhibition?
A type of stretching exercise which there is reflex inhibition and subsequent elogation of the contractile element's of muscle.
What happens if a muscle is stretched slowly?
The GTO's fire and inhibit the tension in the muscle allowing the sarcomeres to lengthen.
Goes to the spinal cord, but no the brain?
MONOSYNAPTIC REFLEX
What happens when a muscle is stretched quickly?
THE MUSCLE SPINDLE IS ACTIVATED WHICH FACILITATE A CONTRACTION. (MONOSYNAPTIC REFLEX)
Golgi Tendon Organ?
LOCATED NEAR THE MT JUNCTION AND IS SENSITEVE TO THE TENSION IN A MUSCLE CAUSED BY EITHER PASSIVE STRETCH OR ACTIVE MUSCLE CONTRACTION.
A protective mechanism that inhibits contraction of the muscle in which is lies?
GOLGI TENDON ORGANS
Located near the MT junction and is sensitive to the tension in a muscle caused by either passive stretch or active muscle contraction?
GOLGI TENDON ORGANS
Muscle Spindle?
Sensory organ that lie parallel to muscle fibers. Monitors the velocity and duration of stretch and senses length changes in muscle.
Sensory organ that lie parallel to muscle fibers. Monitors the velocity and duration of stretch and senses length changes in muscle?
MUSCLE SPINDLE
Tendency of soft tissue to assume a new and greater length after the stretch force has been removed?
PLASTICITY
Plasticity?
Tendency of soft tissue to assume a new and greater length after the stretch force has been removed.
Ability of soft tissue to return to it's resting length after passive stretch.
ELASTICITY
Elasticity?
Ability of soft tissue to return to it's resting length after passive stretch.
What factors affect stretching?
-VELOCITY
-INTENSITY
-DURATION
-TEMPERATURE OF SOFT TISSUE
What are some conditions that may result in soft tissue shortening?
-PROLONGED IMMOBILIZATION
-RESTRICTED MOBILITY
-CONNECTIVE TISSUE OR NERUOMUSCULAR DESEASES
-TISSUE PATHOLOGY DUE TO TRAUMA
-CONGENITAL DEFORMITIES (CEREBRAL PALSY)
Any therapeutic maneuver designed to lenghthen pathologically shortened soft tissue structures and thereby to increase ROM?
STRETCHING
Stretching?
ANY THERAPEUTIC MANEUVER DESIGNED TO LENGTHEN PATHOLOGICALLY SHORTENED SOFT TISSUE STRUCTURES AND THEREBY TO INCREASE ROM.
