ANSWERside shuffling
, Which of the following muscles would become synergistically dominant when the
gluteus maximus lacks the ability for neural recruitment and force production to properly
perform hip extension during functional movements? - ANSWERhamstrings
which plane of motion bisects the body into top and bottom halves, and consists of
primarily rotational movements? - ANSWERtransverse plane
which plane of motion consists of primarily flexion and extension movements? -
ANSWERsagittal plane
which of the following bones comprise the subtalar joint? - ANSWERtalus-calcaneus
working with arms overhead for long periods of time (such as painting) may lead to
shoulder soreness that could be the result of tightness in the latissimus dorsi and
pectoralis and weakness in the? - ANSWERrotator cuff
Neuromuscular efficiency - ANSWERThe ability of the neuromuscular system to allow
agonists, antagonists, synergists, and stablilzers to work synergistically to produce,
reduce, and dynamically stabilize the kinetic chain in all three planes of motion.
Posture - ANSWERThe independent and interdependent alignment (static posture) and
function (transitional and dynamic posture) of all components of the human movement
system at any given moment; controlled by the central nervous system.
Structural efficiency - ANSWERThe alignment of each segment of the human
movement system (HMS), which allows posture to be balanced in relation to one's
center of gravity.
Functional efficiency - ANSWERThe ability of the neuromuscular system to recruit
correct muscle synergies, at the right time, with the appropriate amount of force to
perform functional tasks with the least amount of energy and stress on the human
movement system.
Cumulative injury cycle - ANSWERA cycle in which an injury will induce inflammation,
muscle spasm, adhesion, altered neuromusclular control, and muscle imbalances.
Movement impairment syndrome - ANSWERRefers to the state in which the structural
integrity of the human movement system (HMS) is compromised because the
components are out of alignment.
Altered reciprocal inhibition - ANSWERThe process whereby a tight muscle (short,
overactive, myofascial adhesions) causes decreased neural drive and therefore optimal
recruitment of its functional antagonist.
