Answers (Graded A+) | Verified Answers | Latest Versions
Neuromuscular efficiency - (CORRECT ANSWER)The 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 - (CORRECT ANSWER)The 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 - (CORRECT ANSWER)The 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 - (CORRECT ANSWER)The 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 - (CORRECT ANSWER)A cycle in which an injury will induce inflammation, muscle
spasm, adhesion, altered neuromusclular control, and muscle imbalances.
Movement impairment syndrome - (CORRECT ANSWER)Refers 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 - (CORRECT ANSWER)The process whereby a tight muscle (short, overactive,
myofascial adhesions) causes decreased neural drive and therefore optimal recruitment of its functional
antagonist.
Synergistic dominance - (CORRECT ANSWER)The process by which a synergist compenstates for a prime
mover to maintain force production.
Lower extremity movement impairment syndrome - (CORRECT ANSWER)Usually characterized by
excessive foot pronation (flat feet), increased knee valgus (tibia externally rotated and femur internally
1
,rotated and adducted or knock-kneed), and increased movement at the lumbo-pelvic-hip-complex
(extension or flexion) during functional movements.
Upper extremity movement impairment syndrome - (CORRECT ANSWER)Usually characterized as having
rounded shoulders and a forward head posture or improper scapulothoracic or glenohumeral
kinematics during functional movements.
Lengthening Techniques - (CORRECT ANSWER)2nd phase in the Corrective Exercise Continuum is to
lengthen those overactive or tight neuromyofascial tissues.
Lengthening - (CORRECT ANSWER)refers to the elongation of mechanically shortened muscle and
connective tissuenecessary to increase range of motion (ROM) at the tissue and joint.
2 most common methods of stretching: - (CORRECT ANSWER)Static stretching
Neuromuscular stretching
Static stretching - (CORRECT ANSWER)Combines low force with long duration using autogenic inhibition.
This form of stretching allows for relaxation and concomitant elongation of muscle. To perform static
stretching, the stretch is held at the first point of tension or resistance barrier for 30 seconds. Performed
solo
Neuromuscular stretching - (CORRECT ANSWER)commonly called proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation,or PNF involves taking the muscle to its end ROM (point of joint compensation), actively
contracting the muscle to be stretched for 7 -15 seconds, then passively moving the joint to a new end
ROM and holding this position for 20-30 seconds.
Recurrent inhibition - (CORRECT ANSWER)A feedback circuit that can decrease the excitability of motor
neurons via the interneuron called the Renshaw cell.
Stretch reflex - (CORRECT ANSWER)A muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle.
2
,Static stretching is characterized by: - (CORRECT ANSWER)The elongation of neuromyofascial tissue to
an end-range and statically holding that position fora period of time.
Maximal control of structural alignment
Minimal acceleration into and out of the elongated (stretch) position.
Neuromuscular stretching is (NMS) characterized by: - (CORRECT ANSWER)Taking the muscle to its end
ROM (point of joint compensation)
Active contraction of the muscle to be stretched
Passively (or actively) moving to a new end ROM
Statically holding new position for 20-30 seconds and repeating 3 times.
Neuromuscular stretching - (CORRECT ANSWER)Is a technique that involves a process of isometrically
contracting a desired muscle in a lengthened position to induce a relazation response on the tissue,
allowing it to further elongate. Requires the assistance of another person.
Autogenic inhibition - (CORRECT ANSWER)The process when neural impulses that sense tension are
greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle
spindles

thirds f the lateral surface of the tibia
What is the origin of the Posterior Tibilais ? - (CORRECT ANSWER)Proximal two thirds surface of the tibia

femoral condyles
3

pelvis and part of the sacrotuberous ligament
What is the origin of the short head of Biceps Femoris? - (CORRECT ANSWER)Lower one third of the
posterior aspect of the femur
What is the origin of Semimembranosus? - (CORRECT ANSWER)Ischial tuberosity of the pelvis

medial lip of the linea aspera, proximal medial supracondylar line of the femur

thirds of the femur
