Range of motion (ROM)
|
|
|
Relation to, or involving, the muscles and the skeleton.

|
Sarcomeres
|
|
|
Non-contractile, structural protein filaments which make up the ends of the sarcomere.
|
Titin filaments
|
|
|
The layer of connective tissue surrounding an entire muscle.
|
Epimysium
|
|
|
The layer of connective tissue enveloping bundles of muscle fibers.
|
Perimysium
|
|
|
The fibrous protein constituent of bone, cartilage, tendon and other connective tissues.
|
Collagen
|
|
|
A specialized sensory end organ that responds to mechanical stimuli such as tension, pressure, or diplacement.
|
Mechanoreceptors
|
|
|
A form of passive or dynamic stretching, usually a bouncing motion, in which a limb or joint is forced into an extended range of motion when the muscle is not yet relaxed.
|
Ballistic stretching
|
|
|
Caused by stimulating the GTO via an increase of tension, creating an inhibitory effect on the muscle spindles.
|
Autogenic inhibition
|
|
|
The degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength.
|
Sarcopenia
|
|
|
Inflammation of the bursa.
|
Bursitis
|
|
|
Inflammation of the fascia.
|
Fasciitis
|
|
|
Runs along the top of the shoulder blade and inserts at the top of the humerus bone.
|
Supraspinatus Tendon
|
|
|
the fluid filled sac located between the coracoacromial arch and the rotator cuff.
|
Subactomial-subdeltoid bursa
|
|
|
A protective arch formed by the smooth inferior aspect of the acromion and coracoid process of the scapula.
|
Coracoacromial arch
|
|
|
A chronic autoimmune disease causing inflamamtion and deformity of the joints.
|
Rheumatoid arthritis
|
|
|
A disturbance of uric acid metabolism, usually occurring in males and often charcterized by painful inflammation of the joints, typically in the feet and hands.
|
Gout
|
|
|
Small, abnormal bony growths.
|
Osteophytes
|
|
|
The triangular bone made up of five fused vertebrae and forming the posterior section of the pelvis.
|
Sacrum
|
|
|
A stretching technique that uses a combination of passive stretching and isometrics in which a muscle is passively stretched and then contracted to obtain an icreased ROM in the joint.
|
Prprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
|
|
|
A form of flexibility training, utilizing controlled movement performed through a full range of motion.
|
Dynamic flexibility
|
