NM Control
Main goal of neuromuscular control
What is dynamic stability?
Movements within a joint necessary for normal ROM but that cannot be performed by the patient
What is accessory movements?
Standing on a bosu ball would be what type of balance?
What is semi-dynamic?
Co-activation of agonist/antagonist muscles is an effect of what?
What is closed kinetic chain?
These cells clean up debris
What is macrophages?
This part of neuromuscular control lowers the electromechanical delay to develop muscle tension.
What is feedforward?
New points on one surface meets new points on the opposing surface
What is rolling?
Balance strategy for when balance disruption is within the limits of stability
What is ankle action?
This muscles controls pronation during walking
What is posterior tibialis?
What is excitability?
Eccentric exercises increase muscle tension which in turn increase this quality of neuromuscular control
What is muscle stiffness?
Sliding in the same direction as angular movement of the bone
What is concave?
Balance input system that gives info on gravitational, angular, and linear accelerations of the head in space
What is vestibular?
Concentric acceleration and eccentric deceleration are effects of what?
What is open kinetic chain?
A lot of collagen is necessary for this type of soft tissue healing
What is tendon?
Agonist/antagonist co-activation help increase this characteristic of neuromuscular control
What is dynamic stability?
Small amplitude rhythmic oscillations performed at the end of the range of motion stressing into tissue resistance
What is Grade 4 Maitland mobilization?
Which muscle would contract to pull you posteriorly during an anterior sway at the ankle?
What is gastrocnemius?
Closed kinetic chain exercises lower these type of forces
What is shear?
This law states that soft tissue will heal in the way in which stress is applied to it
What is Davis' law?
Balance and _ are controlled in the same area of the brain
What is proprioception?
One end contracts concentrically while the other end contracts eccentrically
What is concurrent shift?
Once limits of stability are exceeded, taking a step is the last resort to avoid a fall
What is step action?
Concurrent shift occurs in these types of exercises
What is closed kinetic chain?
Synovial fluid dilutes to a hematoma and limits the formation of a fibrin clot in this type of soft tissue healing.
What is intra-articular ligaments?
