QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS
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. -
ANSWER>>Neuromuscular efficiency
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. -
ANSWER>>Posture
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. -
ANSWER>>Structural efficiency
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. -
ANSWER>>Functional efficiency
A cycle in which an injury will induce inflammation, muscle spasm, adhesion,
altered neuromusclular control, and muscle imbalances. -
ANSWER>>Cumulative injury cycle
Refers to the state in which the structural integrity of the human movement
system (HMS) is compromised because the components are out of alignment. -
ANSWER>>Movement impairment syndrome
,The process whereby a tight muscle (short, overactive, myofascial adhesions)
causes decreased neural drive and therefore optimal recruitment of its
functional antagonist. - ANSWER>>Altered reciprocal inhibition
The process by which a synergist compenstates for a prime mover to maintain
force production. - ANSWER>>Synergistic dominance
Usually characterized by excessive foot pronation (flat feet), increased knee
valgus (tibia externally rotated and femur internally rotated and adducted or
knock-kneed), and increased movement at the lumbo-pelvic-hip-complex
(extension or flexion) during functional movements. - ANSWER>>Lower
extremity movement impairment syndrome
Usually characterized as having rounded shoulders and a forward head posture
or improper scapulothoracic or glenohumeral kinematics during functional
movements. - ANSWER>>Upper extremity movement impairment syndrome
2nd phase in the Corrective Exercise Continuum is to lengthen those overactive
or tight neuromyofascial tissues. - ANSWER>>Lengthening Techniques
refers to the elongation of mechanically shortened muscle and connective
tissuenecessary to increase range of motion (ROM) at the tissue and joint. -
ANSWER>>Lengthening
Static stretching
Neuromuscular stretching - ANSWER>>2 most common methods of stretching:
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 - ANSWER>>Static stretching
,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. -
ANSWER>>Neuromuscular stretching
A feedback circuit that can decrease the excitability of motor neurons via the
interneuron called the Renshaw cell. - ANSWER>>Recurrent inhibition
A muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle. -
ANSWER>>Stretch reflex
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. -
ANSWER>>Static stretching is characterized by:
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. -
ANSWER>>Neuromuscular stretching is (NMS) characterized by:
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. -
ANSWER>>Neuromuscular stretching
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 - ANSWER>>Autogenic inhibition

ANSWER>>What is the origin of the Anterior Tibialis?
Proximal two thirds surface of the tibia and fibula - ANSWER>>What is the
origin of the Posterior Tibilais ?
Posterior surface of the fibular head and proximal one third of its shaft and the
posterior side of the tibia - ANSWER>>What is the origin of the Soleus?
Posterior aspect of the lateral and medial femoral condyles - ANSWER>>What is
the origin of the Gastrocnemius?
Lateral condyle of the tibia, head and proximal two thirds of the lateral surface

Lower one third of the posterior aspect of the femur - ANSWER>>What is the
origin of the short head of Biceps Femoris?
Ischial tuberosity of the pelvis - ANSWER>>What is the origin of
Semimembranosus?
Ischial tuberosity of the pelvis and part of the sacrotuberous ligament -
ANSWER>>What is the origin of Semitendinosus?
Anterior and inferior border of the greater trochanter, lateral region of the
gluteal tuberosity, lateral lip of the linea aspera of the femur - ANSWER>>What
is the origin of Vastus Lateralis?
