(Stretching), Definition of Terms Associated with Mobility and…

- - - - (jnt ROM+soft tissue extensibility)
      - improving general fitness
        
        (stretching exercises routinely are recommended for warm-up prior to or cool-down following strenuous physical activity, essential part of conditioning programs for general fitness, for recreational or workplace activities, and for training in preparation for competitive sports).
        
        increased power
        
        Increasing distance over which they are able to contract potential increase to our muscles power and therefore increases our athletic ability, while also leading to an improvement in dynamic balance, or the ability to control our muscles
        
        Injury prevention &
        reduced post exercise
        muscle soreness
        
        Few studies have suggested that stretching, as part of a warm-up routine immediately before vigorous physical activity prevents or reduces the risk of injury
        
        Enhanced performance
        
        Enhanced physical performance such as increased muscular strength, power or endurance or improvements in physical functioning, including walking & running speed & jumping ability
  - - - 2- Restricted motion may lead to structural deformities that are otherwise preventable
        
        3- Muscle weakness and shortening of opposing tissue have led to limited ROM
        
        4- May be a component of a total fitness or sport-specific conditioning program designed to prevent or reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries
        
        5- May be used to and after vigorous exercise to potentially reduce postexercise muscle soreness
  - - - 2- Recent fracture, & bony union is incomplete.
        
        3- There is evidence of an acute inflammatory or
        infectious process (heat & swelling) , or soft tissue healing could be disrupted in the restricted tissues & surrounding region
        
        4- There is sharp acute pain with jnt movement or ms elongation.
        
        5- A hematoma or any other indication of tissue trauma is observed
        
        6-Hypermobility already exists.
        
        7- Shortened soft tissues provide necessary jnt stability in lieu of normal structural stability or neuromuscular control

- - - -  Pseudomyostatic contracture:
        
         Impaired mobility and limited ROM may also be the result of hypertonicity (ie, spasticity or rigidity) associated with a central nervous system lesion, such as a cerebrovascular accident, a spinal cord injury or brain injury.
        
         Arthrogenic & peri-articular contracture:
        
         An arthrogenic contracture is the result of intra-articular pathology. These changes may include adhesions, synovial proliferation, joint effusion, irregularities in articular cartilage, or osteophyte formation.
        
         Fibrotic contracture:
        
         Fibrous changes in the connective tissue of the muscle and periarticular structures can cause adherence of these tissues & subsequent develop of fibrotic contracture. Difficult to re-establish optimal length, but possible to stretch & increase ROM.
      -  Shortening of Musculo tendinous unit. No specific pathology. Resolve in a short period of time.
