permanent contraction of a muscle. If pt doesn’t have exercise or joint motion, or good posture, this may occur
|
contractures
|
|
informs brain of the location of a limb
|

|
Factors affecting body alignment and mobility:
|
-growth and development, physical health, mental health, lifestyle variables, fatigue and stress, and external factors such as weather, influence a person’s posture, movement, and daily activity level.
|
|
muscle shortening and active movement. Carrying out ADLs, independently performing range of motion exercises, jogging and walking. Benefits-increased muscle mass, tone and strength, improved joint mobility, increased cardiac and respiratory function, increased circulation and osteoblastic activity
|
Isotonic
|
|
involves muscle contractions w/o shortening. No movement. Contractions of the quadriceps and gluteal muscles. Benefits-increased muscle mass, tone, strength, increased circulation, and increased osteoblastic activity.
|

|
|
involves muscle contractions w/ resistance. Go through range of motion.
