Techniques Of Facilitation

Front 1

3 directed to agonist techniques

Back 1

repeated contractions
HRAM
rhythmic initiation

Front 2

repetition of activity is necessary to the learning process

Back 2

RC

Hint 2

sustained and repeated effort until fatigue sets in

Front 3

increase ROM of agonistic I:pattern, relaxes and lengthens antagonistic muscles improve endurance, coordination and strength

Back 3

RC

Front 4

C/I: conditions which do not permit sustained effort such as acute orthopedic and recent post-operative conditions, CVA

Back 4

RC

Front 5

isometric contraction in the shortened range of the pattern followed by voluntary relaxation. PT quickly and passively moves the part to the lengthened range then commands the px to isotonically contract the muscles of the agonistic pattern

Back 5

HRAM

Front 6

maybe repeated to allow build up of power

Back 6

HRAM

Front 7

I: decrease endurance, extreme weakness, muscle imbalance

Back 7

HRAM

Front 8

C/I: conditions that do not permit full range of passive or resisted motion

Back 8

HRAM

Front 9

Relaxation and passive motion is followed by assisted isotonic contraction followed by resisted isotonic contraction

Back 9

RI

Front 10

promotes initiation of movement

Back 10

RI

Front 11

For rigid or spastic condition where initiation of movt. is the main problem and where strong commands will increase spasticity

Back 11

RI

Front 12

I: conditions with rigidity (Parkinson’s Disease) or spasticity

Back 12

RI

Front 13

C/I: if passive motion is contraindicated

Back 13

RI

Front 14

goals of reversal antagonist

Back 14

the development or redevelopment of a normal reversal of antagonist
correction of imbalances
development of strength, corrdination and endurance

Front 15

isometric contraction of antagonist resulting in co-contraction of the agonist (build-up in holding power of the normal subject)

Back 15

RS

Front 16

I: weakness and stabilization provides stimulation of agonistic pattern, active motion is permitted, conditions where isometric contraction is deficient such as in ataxia

Back 16

RS

Front 17

C/I: conditions where stabilization does not stimulate the pattern

Back 17

RS

Front 18

Isotonic contraction of the antagonistic patterns followed by isotonic contraction of the agonists

Back 18

SR

Front 19

Used in case where the antagonistic pattern is stronger than the agonistic pattern to facilitate a stronger contraction of agonist

Back 19

SR

Front 20

Proper grading of resistance is needed. If necessary PT shifts manual contact

Back 20

SR

Front 21

I: stimulate active motion of the agonistic pattern, to redevelop normal reversal of antagonistic patterns, achieve relaxation, weakness, conditions that have passed the acute phase

Back 21

SR

Front 22

C/I: Acute orthopedic conditions

Back 22

SR

Front 23

Isotonic then isometric of antagonists, then isotonic and isometric of agonist

Back 23

SRH

Front 24

There is build-up of power in each successive isotonic and isometric contractions

Back 24

SRH

Front 25

Develops stability and ability to perform isometric contractions in specific patterns or in specific parts of the range

Back 25

SRH

Front 26

The antagonistic pattern is performed from the lengthened range to the shortened range is reached, a rapid isotonic contraction of the agonist is done (motion is quickly reversed) with assistance towards the shortened range, followed by an isometric contraction of the agonist

Back 26

QR

Front 27

Relaxation follows and is done passively and finally, isotonic contraction of the agonistic pattern is again demanded

Back 27

QR

Front 28

Corrects imbalance at shortened range of agonist by assisting agonistic pattern to shortened rangea

Back 28

QR

Front 29

I: muscle imbalance of antagonist with sufficient strength in shortened range of agonist

Back 29

QR

Front 30

C/I: any condition in which sudden movement maybe hazardous

Back 30

QR

Front 31

Isotonic contraction of the antagonistic pattern (allowing range of rotation only but no range in the other components), followed by passive motion of agonistic pattern by the PT

Back 31

CR

Front 32

Followed by attempted performance of the agonistic pattern

Back 32

CR

Front 33

I: spasticity is the primary factor and no active motion is available from stretch

Back 33

CR

Front 34

C/I: conditions where active motion of agonist is present, acute orthopedic conditions

Back 34

CR

Front 35

Isometric contraction of antagonist followed by active motion of agonist

Back 35

HR

Front 36

Used in conditions where passive motion of agonist is painful

Back 36

HR

Front 37

I: achieve relaxation of antagonist, pain which prevents active motion, acute orthopedic conditions

Back 37

HR

Front 38

C/I: cannot perform isometric contraction

Back 38

HR

Front 39

Isotonic contraction followed by isometric contraction of antagonist

Back 39

SRHR

Front 40

C/I: conditions where active motion against resistance is not permitted

Back 40

SRHR

Front 41

Repeated rotation of a segment at the point in the range where limitation of motion is noted or can be done all throughout the range of motion, actively or passively

Back 41

RO

Front 42

This increases the tension of the muscles but this is reduced as the treatment technique is continued (relaxation of the muscles involved in the pattern)

Back 42

RO

Front 43

I: imbalance of reflexes due to trauma of spinal cord, orthopedic conditions with lack of flexibility of soft tissue structures

Back 43

RO

Front 44

C/I: acute orthopedic conditions, recent post-operative conditions, circulatory conditions
