| A | B |
|---|
| alternating isometric | hold agonist against resistance and switch to hold antagonist |
| rhythmic stabilization | hold agonist and antagonist simultaneously with isometric contraction that causes twisting |
| rhythmic initiation | passive then active assistive movement through the pattern |
| slow reversals | resisted ROM in the pattern |
| hold relax active movement | hold an isometric contraction at the weakest point of ROM, relax and bring patient back to beginning movement, then have AROM through whole range |
| hold relax | stretch with isometric contraction, relax and push into new ROM |
| contract relax | stretch with concentric rotary movement, relax and push into new ROM |
| repeated contractions | isometric contraction at weakest point in ROM |
| quick stretch | stretch that causes ms spindle to fire to improve overall ms contraction |
| tapping | facilatory for a muscle contraction |
| slow stroking | inhibitory to muscle contraction |
| rotation | decreases muscle tone |
| fast irregular movements | increased tone due to vestibular facilitation |
| slow linear movements | decreased tonedue to vestibular inhibition |
| neutral warmth | warming the tissues to decrease tone |
| inhibitory pressure | sustained deep touch to inhibit muscle tone |
| rhythmic rotation | pnf to decrease ms tone |
| maintained touch | handling technique that improves ms contraction by manual cuing ms |
| wilbarger brushing program | 2 minutes of brushing followed by joint approximation |
| joint approximation | manual compression or weighted work to improve proprioceptive awareness |
| swings | fast irregular movements |
| rocking chair | slow linear movements |
| wrapping in a blanket | neutral warmth and inhibitory pressure |
| ndt | maintained touch |
| jumping | joint approximation |
| synergy pattern | abnormal movement of combined muscle contractions that occurs after CNS injury |
