Altered Reciprocal Inhibition - ✔✔The process whereby a tight (overactive) muscle causes decreased
neural drove to its functional antagonist:
Strength - ✔✔The ability of the neuromuscular system to exert force against resistance:
Synergistic Dominance - ✔✔The process by which synergists compensate for a weak or inhibited prime
mover in attempt to maintain force production and functional movement patterns:
Calf Raises - ✔✔Example of a predominately sagittal plan motion:
Transverse plane - ✔✔The plane that bisects the body to create upper and lower halves with motion
occurring around a longitudinal (vertical) axis:
Antagonists - ✔✔Muscles that act in direct opposition to prime movers:
Transverse Abdominus, Multifidus, Muscles of the pelvic floor - ✔✔Support system muscles of the core
(lumbo-pelvic-hip complex)
Deep Longitudinal sub-system - ✔✔The sub-system that is primarily responsible for force transmission
longitudinally from the trunk to the ground
Accelerates ankle dorsiflexion and inversion - ✔✔The concentric function of the anterior tibialis
Proprioception - ✔✔The cumulative neural input from sensory afferents to the central nervous system
Objective information - ✔✔Physiological assessments, Postural assessments, Performance assessments
, Decreased heart rate and decreased blood pressure - ✔✔The effect of beta-blockers on heart rate and
blood pressure
The four skin fold sites measured when using the Durnin/Womersley formula: - ✔✔Biceps, Triceps,
Subscapular, Iliac crest
Structural efficiency - ✔✔The alignment of the musculoskeletal system, which allows our center gravity
to be maintained over a base of support:
Rhomboids, mid/lower trapezius, rotator cuff - ✔✔Muscle(s) is (are) Most likely underactive allowing
and athlete's arms to fall forward during an Overhead Squat:
Adductor complex, Biceps femoris (short head), Tensor Fascia latae (TFL), Vastus Lateralis - ✔✔The
muscles that are MOST likely overactive causing an athlete's knee to move inward during the Single-leg
Squat assessment:
Davies Test - ✔✔Assessment that BEST measures upper extremity agility and stabilization:
Arthrokinetic dysfunction - ✔✔The biomechanical dysfunction in two articular partners that lead to
abnormal joint movement and proprioception:
Epimysium - ✔✔The outermost layer of a muscle fiber:
Muscle Fascia - ✔✔The tissue that is the primary focus of a flexibility routine for improving elasticity and
extensibility:
Muscular and neural atrophy, Increased tissue stiffness, Tissue dehydration - ✔✔Physical changes
attributed to aging that affect flexibility:
