tearing
swelling, bruising, pain
,What is Neuropraxias? - ANSWERa nerve injury disorder of the peripheral nervous
system (PNS) with a temporary loss of motor and/or sensory function due to
blockage and slowing of nerve conduction and numerous neurological disorders
List four examples of Acute injuries - ANSWERmuscle strains
ligament sprains
fracture

Type I muscles...
______ twitch
type of respration
______ contraction speed
fatigue _______
tonic or phasic
purpose - ANSWERslow
slow oxidative (aerobic)
slow
resistant
tonic
endurance or postural; normal functional postures and many unloaded movements
Type IIa muscles...
______ twitch
type of respiration
______ contraction speed
fatigue _______
tonic or phasic
purpose - ANSWERintermediate fast
aerobic and anaerobic
fast
phasic
short, high-intensity activities (<2mins); rapid movement with high loads
Type IIb muscles...
______ twitch
type of respiration
______ contraction speed
fatigue _______
tonic or phasic
purpose - ANSWERfast
fast glycolitic (anaerobic)
fast
fatigues quickest
phasic
very short , maximum intensity activities (less than 30 sec); rapid movement with
high loads
, What does a Local Stabilizer do?
What kind of activation does it do and how is it activated?
What kind of activity? - ANSWER- works to control segmental the segmental and is
important for controlling the neutral and protecting the joint that is moving
- anticipitory; activated with low loads and proprioceptive challenges
- continuous throughout (tonic)
What happens when there is dysfunction of a Local Stabilizer? - ANSWERdelayed
timing or altered recruitment patter, poor segmental control, inhibition with pain and
decreased ability to control the neutral position of a joint
What does a Global Stabilizer do?
What kind of activation does it do and how is it activated?
What kind of activity? - ANSWER- works to control the range of motion, often
through eccentric contraction
- displays activation when there is an increase in load and need for control,
particularly with hypermobile joints and controlling/decelerating rotation
- non-continuous/phasic activity throughout a movement
What does a Global Mobilizer do?
What kind of activation does it do and how is it activated?
What kind of activity? - ANSWER- produces a range of motion, generally concentric
contraction
- responds to higher loads with increased force and is important for providing shock
- non-continuous/phasic that often functions for bursts
What happens when there is dysfunction of a Global Stabilizer? - ANSWEReccentric
joint control issues across several joint segments, poor control of excessive range in
hypermobile joints, poor dissociation in rotation, and altered recruitment patterns
What happens when there is dysfunction of a Global Mobilizer? -
ANSWERshortening and/or decreased extensibility of the muscles and connecting
fascia, muscle spasms and guarding, and overactivity with lower loads
How do you train local stabilizers? - ANSWERlow-load, neutral position, closed-
chain exercises, and proprioceptive challenge
How do you train global stabilizers? - ANSWERlow to medium load, eccentric
control, and full range of motion and proprioceptive challenge
How do you train global mobilizers? - ANSWERhigher loads with concentric
contraction and full range of motion, plyometric and explosive movements
What is the Primary Sling? - ANSWERtransversus abdominis, multifidi, pelvic floor,
diaphragm
What is the Posterior Oblique Sling? - ANSWERlatissimus dorsi, contralateral
gluteus maximus, and posterior thoracolumbar fascia (TLF)
- Shoulder Bridge
