2. transverse
sidebending
1. axis
2. plane

2. coronal
isotonic contraction
muscle contraction that results in approximation of the muscle's origiun and insertion without change in its tension
-operator's force is less than patient's force
isometric contraction
muscle contraction that results in the increase in tension without an approximation of origin and insertion
-operator's and patient's force are equal
islytic contraction
-muscle contraction against WHILE FORCING the muscle to lengthen
-operator's force is more than patient's force
concentric contraction
-muscle contraction that results in approximation of muscle's origin and insertion
eccentric contraction
-lengthening of muscle during contraction due to an external force
direct treatment
1. what is it?
-engage restrictive barrier
--body tissues and/or joints are eventually moved through restrictive barrier
direct treatment
1. treat T3 was F RR SR
2. if abdominal fascia moved more freely cephalad than caudad
1. would extend, rotate and sidebend T3 to the left
2. hold the tissue caudad allowing tissues to stretch
indirect treatment
1. what is it?
1. practitioner moves tissue and/or joints away from restrictive barrier into direction of freedom
Indirect treatment
1. treat T3 F RR SR
2. if abdominal fascia moved more freely cephalad than caudad
1. flex, sidebend and rotate T3 to right
2. hold the tissue cephalad allowing tissue to relax
active treatment
1. what is it?
1. patient will assist treatment, usually in form of isometric or isotonic contraction
passive treatment
1. what is it?
1. patient will relax and allow practitioner to move body tissues
