Muscle imbalance
Alterations of lenghts of muscles surrounding joint.
Altered reciprocal inhibition
Concept of muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist.
Autogenic inhibition
Process that stimulates the Golgi Tendon Organ and produces an inhibitory effect on themuscle spindle
Golgi tendon organ
Sensory organ sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of change of tension
Muscle spindle
Sensory organ of muscle sensitive to lenght and rate of change of lenght
Synergistic dominance
The body's substitution system when there is a weak or inhibited prime mover.
Flexibility
Normal soft-tissue extensibility that allows full range of motion of a joint and has optimum control
Relative flexibility
Where the Kinetic chain seeks the path of least resistance during movement
Extensibility
Capability to be elongated or stretched
Dynamic range of motion
Combination of flexibility and the nervous system's ability to control range of motion efficiently
Neuromuscular efficiency
Ability of neuromuscular system to allow agonists, antagonist and stabilizers to work and stabiize the kinetic chain.
Dynamic functional flexibility
Multiplanar soft tissue extensibility with optimal neuromuscular efficiency throughtout the full range of motion.
Postural distortion patterns
predictable patterns of muscle imbalance
Pattern overload
Consistently repeating the same pattern of motion, which may place abnormal stresses on the body.
Benefits of FLEXIBILITY TRAINING
Improve neuromuscular efficiency, imrpove function, relieve joint stress
Different types of Flexibility
corrective, active and functional
Static Stretching
Process of passively taking a muscle to a point of tension holding for 20 sec.
Name a stretching technique used for corrective flexibility
self-myofascial release & static stretching.
Name a stretching technique used for active flexibility
self-myofascial release & active-isolated
Name a stretching technique used for functional flexibility
self-myofascial release & dynamic stretching
