experiment 9

ability to move a single joint or series of joint smoothly and easily through an unrestricted pain free ROM

-mysium, sarcolemma
-shortens during contraction and lengthens during stretch
>parallel o series elastic component?

-tendon
-lengthens during contraction and lengthens further when muscles are stretched
>parallel o series elastic component?

Property of soft tissue
the ability of the soft tissue to return to its prestretch resting length directly after a short duration stretch has been removed.

Property of soft tissue
- a time dependent property
- initially resists deformation but when stretch force is sustained, it allows a change in the lenth of tissue and;
- enables the tissue to return to its pre stretch length after stretch force is removed.

Property of soft tissue
the tendency of a tissue to assume a new and greater length after the stretch has been removed.

encapsulated, monitors tension of musculotendinous units

mainly responsive to stretch or change in length and velocity of length changes

stress strain curve
- the considerable deformation without the use of much force.
- it is the range where most functional activity normally occurs.

stress strain curve

- occurs through the end of ROM and a stretch is applied.
- tissue returns to its original size when stress is released

stress strain curve

-the point beyond which the tissue will not return to its shape

stress strain curve
- shows the tissue with a permanent deformation when stretch is released

stress strain curve
- corresponds to the greatest load the tissue can sustain

stress strain curve
- just a slight amount of stress would lead to failure which is the rupture of the tissue

creep and stress relaxation curve
a constant load applied over time results in increased tissue length until equilibrium is reached

creep and stress relaxation curve
- a load applied with the tissue kept in constant length results in decreased internal tension until equilibrium is reached

ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and to meet unforeseen injuries
