PNF Stretching PDF (not all-inclusive)

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Specialized sensory receptors located within joints, muscles, & tendons  
🗑
show Relay info concerning muscle dynamics to conscious & sub-conscious parts of our CNS  
🗑
show Most is processed at the sub-conscious levels so we don't have to think about tasks such as maintaining posture or position of our body parts  
🗑
show Receptor Sensory neuron Integration center Motor neuron Effector  
🗑
What is the receptor?   show
🗑
show Transmits afferent impulses to the CNS  
🗑
Simple reflex arc?   show
🗑
Complex reflex arc?   show
🗑
show 3-10 infrafusal fibers, which provide input to regulate the activity of muscle. Extrafusal fibers are effective & when stimulated, they contract, shortening the muscle  
🗑
What influences the muscle spindle?   show
🗑
show Increases tension & increases rate of action potential generation.  
🗑
Muscle Contraction   show
🗑
show Extrafulsal fibers are excited, causing the muscle to contract This contraction attempts to prevent the muscle from stretching any further  
🗑
Afferent Impulses   show
🗑
Interneuron Synapse   show
🗑
show Tendons near the musculotendinous junction  
🗑
How is a GTO activated?   show
🗑
show Inhibit motor neurons serving the contractile muscle (autogenic inhibition); Stimulate motor neurons serving the antagonistic muscle group  
🗑
Overal, what happens because of the GTO reflex?   show
🗑
What is reciprocal inhibition?   show
🗑
What is autogenic inhibition?   show
🗑
show Ability of motor cortex to override autogenic inhibition  
🗑
How does PNF compare to other types of stretching?   show
🗑
How many repetitions of PNF should be performed to achieve the greatest gains?   show
🗑
show 3-10 seconds  
🗑
What is the optimal contraction intensity in PNF stretching?   show
🗑
Hold-Relax Stretching   show
🗑
Contract-Relax Stretching   show
🗑
What is the aim of contract-relax?   show
🗑
show Acute injury or if active ROM is painful; If contraction of restricting mm is too painful/weak, can reverse the direction of contraction  
🗑
show Mm lengthened to point of limitation; Pt performs sub-max isometric contraction b/t 5-8"; Limb actively moved by pt into new range via concentric contraction of mm opposite range-limiting mm  
🗑
What type(s) of inhibition is used by hold-relax with agonist contraction?   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
