Front 1

AGONISTIC REVERSALS

Back 1

ISOTONIC CONCENTRIC CONTRACTION PERFORMED AGAINST RESISITANCE FOLLOWED BY ALTERNATING CONCENTRIC AND ECCENTRIC CONTRACTIONS WITH RESISTANCE

Front 2

ALTERNATING ISOMETRICS

Back 2

ISOMETRIC CONCTRACTIONS ARE PERFORMED ALTERNATING FROM MUSCLES ON ONE SIDE OF THE JOINT TO THE OTHER SIDE WITHOUT REST

Front 3

CONTRACT-RELAX

Back 3

TECHNIQUE USED TO INCREASE ROM  - AS EXTREMITY REACHES THE POINT OF LIMITATION PT. PERFORMS A MAX CONTRACTION OF THE ANTAGONISTIC MUSCLE GROUPS - THERAPIST RESISTS MOVEMENT FOR 8-10 SECONDS WITH RELAXATION TO FOLLOW

Front 4

HOLD-RELAX

Back 4

ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION PERFORMED ONCE THE EXTREMITY IS PASSIVELY PLACED INTO A SHORTENED RANGE WITHIN THE PATTERN.  UPON RELAXATION EXTREMITY PLACED IN LENGTHENED POSITION OF THE PATTERN WITH A QUICK STRETCH

Front 5

REPEATED CONTRACTION

Back 5

THERAPIST PROVIDES A QUICK STRETCH FOLLOWED BY ISOMETRIC AND ISOTONIC CONTRACTIONS

Front 6

RESISTED PROGRESSION

Back 6

"TECHNIQUE USED TO EMPHASIZE COORIDNATION OF PROXIMAL COMPONETES DURING GAIT - RESISTANCE APPLIED TO AREA SUCH AS PELVIS, HIPS, OR EXTREMITY DURING GAIT TO ENHANCE STRENGTH, CORRDINATION OR ENDURANCE"

Front 7

RHYTHMIC INITIATION

Back 7

"LET ME MOVE YOU
HELP ME MOVE YOU
MOVE AGAINST RESISTANCE"

Front 8

RHYTHMICAL ROTATION

Back 8

PASSIVE TECHNIQUE USED TO DECREASE HYPERTONIA BY SLOWLY ROTATING AN EXTRMITY AROUND THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS

Front 9

RHYTHMIC STABILIZATION

Back 9

TECHNIQUE USED TO INCREASE ROM AND COORDINATE ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS - REQUIRES ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS AROUND A JOINT AGAINST PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE

Front 10

SLOW REVERSAL

Back 10

SLOW AND RESISTED CONCENTRIC CONTRACTIONS OF AGONISTS AND ANTAGONISTS AROUND A JOINT WITHOUT REST BETWEEN REVERSALS

Front 11

SLOW REVERSAL HOLD

Back 11

USING SLOW REVERSAL WITH THE ADDITION OF ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION THAT IS PERFORMED AT THE END OF EACH MOVEMENT IN ORDER TO GAIN STABILITY

Front 12

TIMING FOR EMPHASIS

Back 12

USED TO STRENGTHEN WEAK COMPONENT OF MOTOR PATTERN - ISOTONIC AND ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS PRODUCE OVERFLOW TO WEAK MUSCLES
