|
Muscle contraction that results in the approximation of the muscle's origin and insertion without a change in its tension. In such a case the operator's force is less than the patient's force.
|
Isotonic Contraction
|
|
|
Muscle contraction that results in the increase in tension without an approximation of origin and insertion. In such a case the operator's force and the patient's force are equal.
|
Isometric Contraction
|
|
|
Muscle contraction against resistance while forcing the muscle to lengthen. In such a case the operator's force is more than the patient's force.
|
Isolytic Contraction
|
|
|
Muscle contraction that results in the approximation of the muscle's origin and insertion.
|
Concentric Contraction
|
|
|
Lengthening of muscle during contraction due to an external force.
|
Eccentric Contraction
