• Proprioception

• Altered-Reciprocal Inhibition

Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint

• Reciprocal Inhibition

• Muscle Imbalance

Occurs when an overactive agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist.

• Reciprocal Inhibition

• Altered-Reciprocal Inhibition

• Neuromuscular Efficiency

The association between the resting length of a muscle and the amount of internal tension it can produce at that resting length

• Length-tension relationships

• Proprioception

• Motor Control

Specialized structures that respond to mechanical forces (touch and pressure) within tissues and then transmit signals through sensory nerves
