Flexibility - ANSWER defined as the normal extensibility (the ability to stretch) of all soft tissues (contractile and non=contractile) that allow the complete ROM of a joint. Joint ROM is dictated by the type of joint and the extensibility of muscles and surrounding soft tissues. -soft tissue will only achieve extensibility if optimal body control is maintained throughout the entire joint ROM, which if often termed mobility (flexibility and joint ROM, the ability to move freely) Flexibility has a major influence on mobility during dynamic motion. -flexibility requires the extensibility of all soft tissue along with acceptable bodily control. adequate flexibility combined with joint ROM produces proper mobility of the major bodily regions (upper and lower extremities). flexibility requires a comprehensive approach that integrates various techniques to
