The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allows the full ROM of a joint |
FLEXIBILITY |
|
Capability to be elongated or stretched |
Extensibility |
|
Combination of flexibility and the nervous system's ability to control this ROM efficiently |
Dynamic ROM |
|
Optimal control of movement throughout a joint's entire ROM |
Dynamic ROM |
|
Ability of the nervous system to recruit the correct muscles to produce force, reduce force, and dramatically stabilize the body's structure |
Neuromuscular Efficiency |
|
Predictable patterns of muscle imbalances |
Postural Distortion Patterns |
|
HMS seeks the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns |
Relative Flexibility |
|
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint |
Muscle Imbalance |
|
The simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of it's antagonist to allow movement to take place. |
Reciprocal Inhibition |
|
Caused by a tight muscle decreasing the neural drive to its functional antagonist. |
Altered Reciprocal Inhibition |
|
Neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when synergists take over function for a weak or inhibited prime mover. |
Synergistic Dominance |
|
Motion of the joints |
Arthrokinetics |
|
Biomechanical and neuromuscular dysfunction leading to altered joint motion |
Arthrokinetic Dysfunction |
|
Prevents muscles from stretching too far or too fast |
Muscle Spindles |
|
____ causes muscle to relax, which prevent muscles from be placed under excessive stress. |
Golgi Tendons |
|
Neural impulses sensing tension are greater than the impulses causing contraction. |
Autogenic Inhibition |
|
Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stress on the body. |
Pattern Overload |
|
Soft tissue models along the lines of stress |
Davis's Law |
|
Name the 3 phases of flexibility training |
1. Corrective Flexibility 2. Active Flexibility 3. Functional Flexibility |
|
Designed to increase joint ROM, improve muscle imbalances, and correct altered joint motion. |
Corrective Flexibility |
|
Includes self-myofascial release technique and static stretching |
Corrective Flexibility |
|
Corrective flexibility is appropriate at what level of the OPT model |
Stabilization Level (Phase 1) |
|
Includes self myofascial release and active isolated stretching techniques. |
Active Flexibility |
|
Designed to improve the extensibility of soft tissue and increase neuromuscular efficiency by using reciprocal inhibition. |
Active Isolated Stretching |
|
Active flexibility is appropriate at what level of the OPT model |
Strength Level (Phase 2, 3, and 4) |
|
Includes self myofascial release techniques and dynamic stretching |
Functional Flexibility |
|
____ requeires integrated, multiplanar soft tissue extensibility, with optimal neuromuscular control through full ROM and essentially movement w/o compensation |
Functional Flexibility |
|
Functional flexibility is appropriate at what level of the OPT model |
Power Level (Phase 5) |
|
Reduces trigger point points and inhibit overactive musculature |
Self Myofascial Release |
|
Lengthen overactive musculature |
Static Stretching |
|
Used to increase the extensibility of soft tissues through reciprocal inhibition |
Active Stretching |
|
Used to increase flexibility with optimal neuromuscular control |
Dynamic Stretching |
|
The process of passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30s |
Static Stretching |
|
The process of using agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a ROM |
Active Isolated Stretch |
