Term
Rhythmic Initiation - Mobility |
|
Definition
Pnt is placed in position: passive then active assist then w/resistance to decrease hypertonicity and increase ROM |
|
|
Term
Rhythmic Rotation - Mobility |
|
Definition
| Pnt is passively moved into rotation i.e. lower trunk rotation which is used to reduce hypertonicity and increase ROM |
|
|
Term
| Hold Relax Active - Mobility |
|
Definition
| Used to increase ROM - pnt resisted in isometric contract, pnt asked to relax, pnt passively placed with muscle in lengthed positioned then repeat process |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
purpose to increase ROM and decrease pain; pnt or clinician moves joint w/in painfree range then pnt holds position isometrically while clinician applies resistance then pnt relaxes while resistance is removed |
|
|
Term
| Contract Relax - Mobility |
|
Definition
| increase ROM; resisted isometric and isotonic contractions of shortened muscle with a period of relaxation in between. Process repeated until no further gains in ROM noted. |
|
|
Term
| Alternating Isometrics - Stability |
|
Definition
| used to strenghten muscles and increase stability; pnt is resisted with isometric contractions against agonist and antagonist in an alternate fashion to increase stabilty i.e. resisted trunk flexion then resisted trunk extension. |
|
|
Term
| Rhythmic Stabilization - Stability |
|
Definition
| used for stability through co-contraction of muscles surrounding target joint; resistance applied to isometric contraction alternately using rotation |
|
|
Term
| Slow Reversal - Mobility, Controlled Mobility, Skill |
|
Definition
| using alternation PNF patterns of flex to extension, apply light resistance to motion i.e. apply resistance while pnt moving from D2 flexion to D2 extension |
|
|
Term
| Slow Reversal Hold - Mobility, Stability |
|
Definition
| pnt performs PNF pattern with resistance then holds position going from flexion to extension i.e. D1 Flexion to D1 Extension |
|
|
Term
| Agonist Reversals - Controlled Mobility |
|
Definition
| concentric contraction of agonist group resisted then pnt asked to perform eccentric contract of agonist against resistance i.e. pnt resisted during peformance of bridge then resisted when asked to slowly lower buttocks |
|
|
Term
| Resisted Progression - skill |
|
Definition
| increase strength or endurance - motion is resisted during walking, creeping or crawling. |
