Document Summary
Ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion. Range of motion (rom)- about a joint or series of joints. Passive range- attained with external force: shows that tissues are elongated. Soft tissue: type of joint (ball and socket, hinge, etc. , connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, fascia) Neural reflex activity (stretch reflex: fast stretching elicits stretch reflex, but most movement is dynamic, age- collagen cross bridging over time. Easy stretching- move slowly into the stretch and apply only steady light pressure. Increase intensity of the pressure and continue to stretch by feel . For tissue elongation and tissue strengthening (active rom) Contract agonist while stretching antagonist (strength training: dynamic (avoid ballistic) Bouncing and bobbing to the extreme rom. For tissue elongation and tissue strengthening (active rom: light bouncing stretches at end lange, light bouncing stretches at end range via agonist muscle contractions (ex. Movements are specific to a sport or movement pattern.
