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
