Questions and Answers with Verified
Solutions | Latest Updated 2026
Why do postural imbalances It's primarily as a result of sedentary
plague lifestyles,
nearly everyone? advancements in technology, and
repetitive
movements.
Flexibility The normal extensibility of all soft tissues
that
allows the full range of motion of a joint.
Extensibility Capability to be elongated or stretched.
Dynamic range of motion The combination of flexibility and the
nervous
system's ability to control this range of
motion
efficiently.
, Neuromuscular efficeincy The ability of the neuromuscular system to
allow
agonists, antagonists, and stabilizers to
work
synergistically to produce, reduce, and
dynamically
stabilize the entire kinetic chain in all 3
planes of
motion.
How does one obtain optimal Individuals must have proper flexibility in
neuromuscular efficiency? all 3
planes of motion.
How is flexibility broken down? Flexibility requires extensibility, which
requires
dynamic range of motion, which requires
neuromuscular efficiency.
Postural distortion patterns Predictable patterns of muscle imbalnces
Relative flexibility The tendency of the body to seek the path
of least
resistance during functional movement
patterns.
Muscle imbalances Alteration of muscle length surrounding a
joint
