Types of Muscle Contractions & Exercise
PNF
100
Minimizes the risk of a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints.
What is contracture?
100
Maintains the maximum amount of force that a muscle can exert against some form of resistance in a single effort.
What is strength?
100
Bone to Bone - example: elbow extension
What is Hard?
100
Requires using specific equipment to control the speed of the patient's muscle contractions.
What is "isokinetic?"
100
Rotation in all planes.
What is "Diagonal Planes of Motion?"
200
Preserves and maintains each joints own level of flexibility, expressed in degrees.
What is range of motion?
200
Increases the movement of blood through the vessels of the body that is induced by the pumping action of the heart and serves to distribute nutrients and oxygen to and remove waste products from all parts of the body.
What is circulation?
200
A yielding compression that halts further movement.
What is "Soft?"
200
An exercise performed by the patient without any assistance or resistance other than gravity and the weight of the extremity.
What is "active free exercise?"
200
UPPER EXTREMITY - Flexion, Adduction, External Rotation
What is "D1 Flexion?"
300
Enhances cartilage nutrition and stimulates movement of fluid that reduces friction between articular cartilage of joints.
What is synovial fluid?
300
Increases the interrelationship between the workings of the heart and lung organs.
What is cardiopulmonary function?
300
A spasm usually indicative of inflammation. The end feel is sudden and hard.
What is "Early Muscle Spasm?"
300
A form of muscle contraction AND exercise in which there is no observable joint motion.
What is "isometric?"
300
LOWER EXTREMITY - Flexion, Abduction, Internal Rotation
What is "D2 Flexion?"
400
Inhibits or reduces unpleasant sensations that can range from mild, localized discomfort to agony.
What is pain?
400
May help prevent the formation of blood clots.
What is a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?
400
This end feel occurs when considerable pain in produced by movement.
What is "Empty."
400
A form of exercise that requires the patient to have external assistance.
What is "active assistive exercise?"
400
LOWER EXTREMITY - Extension, Abduction, Internal Rotation.
What is "D1 Extension?"
500
Promotes awareness of joint motion or the overall sense of body position and movement.
What is proprioception?
500
Increases joint motion and sensory awareness.
What is proprioception?
500
A firm (springy) type of movement with a slight give.
What is "Firm?"
500
A form of muscle contraction with visible joint movement, and can be subdivided into concentric and eccentric muscle contractions.
What is "isotonic?"
500
UPPER EXTREMITY - Extension, Abduction, Internal Rotation.
What is "D2 Extension?"
