shoulder soreness that could be the result of tightness in the latissimus dorsi and
pectoralis and weakness in the? -correct answer- rotator cuff
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.
