What is isometrics?
static form of exercise with no appreciable change in length of a m. or visible jt motion as it develops tension
-
When holding against an immovable object, what type of exercise are you performing?
m. setting
-
How long should you at LEAST hold an isometric contraction for?
6 seconds
resistance can vary, pt can vary intensity of force they generate
-
What is m. setting?
low intensity, isometric exercise against little or no resistance
quad/glut sets
-
What are some benefits of m. setting?
- promote m. relaxation and circulation
- decrease m. pain and spasm
- maintain mobility between m. fibers as they heal
- improves strength
-
What are some types of isometric exercises?
- m. setting
- manual
- hold against an immovable object
- maintain position against body weight
-
When you want to improve m. strength but the jt mvmt is painful or inadvisable, what do you use?
resisted isometric exercises
strengthen only the angle your working with
- wall for IR/ER, flex, abd of shoulder
- isokinetic set at 0
-
What type of isometrics strengthens all degrees of motion?
multi-angle isometrics
-
What is stabilization?
activating co-contraction around a jt to develop jt or postural stability
use midrange isometric holding in antigravity positions....usually WB (closed chain)
-
What are the 3 subdivisions of stabilization?
- rythmic stabilization
- dynamic stabilization
- alternating isometrics
-
What is the first stabilization technique you would use?
alternating isometrics
manual, happens in 1 plane
-
What stabilization technique uses manual resistance, is a progression of alternating isometrics, and is multi-directional?
rhythmic stabilization
-
What is dynamic stabilization?
stabilizing contraction...trunk
-
What does DLSP stand for?
dynamic lumbar stabilization programs
