Corrective exercise - ✔✔A term used to describe the
systematic process of identifying a
neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction,
developing a plan of action, and
implementing an integrated corrective
strategy.
Corrective Exercise Continuum - ✔✔The systematic programming process
used to address neuromusculoskeletal
dysfunction through the use of inhibitory,
lengthening, activation, and integration
techniques
Inhibitory techniques - ✔✔Corrective exercise techniques used to release
tension or decrease activity of overactive
neuromyofascial tissues in the body.

an acceleration or deceleration of the second object.
Rotary motion - ✔✔Movement of the bones around the joints
Torque - ✔✔A force that produces rotation
Antagonists - ✔✔Muscles that act in direct opposition to prime movers
Synergists - ✔✔Muscles that assist prime movers during functional
movement patterns.
Stabilizers - ✔✔Muscles that support or stabilize the body while the prime
movers and the synergists perform the movement patterns.
Motor behavior - ✔✔Th e human movement system's response to internal
and external environmental stimuli
Motor control - ✔✔Th e study of posture and movements with the involved
structures and mechanisms used by the central nervous system to
assimilate and integrate sensory information with previous experiences
Motor learning - ✔✔
Motor development - ✔✔Th change in motor behavior with time throughout
the lifespan
