In myostatic contracture there is _________
a decrease in individual sarcomere length
a decrease in sarcomere units
muscles are shorter than the physiological length
an increase in individual sarcomere length
an increase in sarcomere units
Contracture due to constant muscle contraction which leads to resistance to passive stretch is known as _______________
Myostatic contracture
Irreversible contracture
Pseudomyostatic contracture
Fibrotic contracture
Arthrogenic contracture
The following is TRUE, EXCEPT...
Impaired mobility and limited ROM may also be the result of hypertonicity
In myostatic contracture, there is no presence of muscle pathology
Arthrogenic contracture resolves spontaneously following remobilization
In pseudomyostatic contracture, passive elongation of the shortened muscles can be achieved with neuromuscular inhibition process
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
Frequency of the stretch refers to the number
Stretch speed refers to the magnitude of stretch force.
Duration of stretch refers to the length of time the stretch force is applied during each stretch cycle
Alignment refers to the fixation of one site of attachment of the muscle as the stretch force is applied to the other bony attachment
Which of the following is TRUE regarding the stretching technique shown above?
Kendall test would indicate a positive finding of the affected muscle
90-90 SLR test would indicate a positive finding of the affected muscle
Piriformis test would indicate a positive finding of the affected muscle
Ober's test would indicate a positive finding of the affected muscle
The following test indicate a positive findings for (a) muscle shortening.
Which of the following test would result in a positive findings of the affected muscle?
Silfverskiold test
Modified thomas test
Ober's test
Ely's test
A physiotherapist performed modified Thomas test on a patient and observed that the patient's test limb thigh was not touching the plinth. The therapist extended the knee on the test side and the test hip goes into extension. Which of the following stretching is the MOST APPROPRIATE technique that taught to the patient?
Which of the following form of stretching is appropriate to be performed after an intense work-out?
static stretching
ballistic stretching
PNF stretching
dynamic stretching
"Incorporating active muscular contractions into stretching with the intention of blocking or promoting muscle activation and enhancing the probability that the muscle to be stretched stays as relaxed as possible". Which of the following types of stretching reflects on the statement above?
Ballistic stretching
Cyclic stretching
PNF stretching
Static progressive stretching
The picture on the left shows a man performing ___________ stretching.
active
passive
self
manual
Which of the following statement is FALSE?
Mode of stretch is dependent on the degree of patient participation
Frequency of stretch refers to the length of time the stretch force is applied during a stretch cycle
During manual stretching, stabilization is usually provided on the proximal aspect
Mode of stretch is dependent on the source of stretch force
Which of the following is CORRECT?
When you lift weights, the golgi tendon organ tells you how much tension the muscle is exerting
When you lift weights, the muscle spindle tells you how much tension the muscle is exerting
If there's too much muscle stretch, the the golgi tendon organ will sense it and inhibit the muscle from creating further force
If there's too much muscle tension, the muscle spindle will sense it and inhibit the muscle from creating further force
