BIO-17 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Muscle Tone, Biceps, The Agonist
Document Summary
Ex: operator holds wrist as patient tries to bring wrist to: contracts the muscle against an equal counterforce applied by the, distance between origin & insertion of the muscle is maintained at. A system of diagnosis and treatment in which the patient voluntarily moves. A direct technique, where patient is positioned toward the restrictive. Most useful in subacute to chronic conditions, where muscle shortening & A fixed tension develops in muscle as patient operator, preventing shortening of the muscle from the origin to shoulder. Muscle energy: definition the body as specifically directed by the physician; this directed patient action is from a precisely controlled position, against a defined resistance by the may be present. Muscle energy: types of muscle contraction applied by the operator occurs in the opposite direction. severely contractured or hypertonic muscle. Muscle energy: post isometric relaxation vs reciprocal inhibition. Eccentric isotonic muscle lengthens position by increasing elbow extension.
