The candidate should state the general purpose of stretching exercises, which is to keep muscles ______, strong and healthy by increasing blood flow, boosting oxygen levels, and delivering nutrients to the muscles. Where possible, the candidate should provide a specific purpose for the stretching exercise being performed. The candidate should inform the patient of the associated benefits, risks, and side effects of stretching exercises. BENEFITS RISKS & SIDE EFFECTS Stretching exercises can: Help increase length, flexibility, and circulation Encourage muscle relaxation Assist in increasing the range of motion of the joint Help to align the fibers of scar tissue. The candidate should complete all steps required for the instructions, including: Warm-up - the candidate should inform the patient that a warm-up is required before beginning exercises. Negative reactions - the candidate should inform the patient to discontinue use if any negative reactions. Modifications - the candidate should teach the patient how to modify the exercise safely. Candidate demo - the candidate should demonstrate by completing the exercise themself. The candidate demonstrates the exercise to the patient. The candidate should provide the patient an opportunity to ask any questions. Procedure To Complete A Stretching Exercise Step 1 Bring the muscle to the first tissue barrier and ensure that this action is pain-free. Step 2 Overpressure is applied until the anatomical limits are met, or the muscle cannot stretch further without pain or significant discomfort. Step 3 Once an appropriate overpressure is achieved, this position should be held for at least 30 seconds. There should be no bouncing, oscillation, or movements of the joint that this target muscle crosses while the stretch is being held. For the exam, the stretch should be held for at least 5-7 seconds while stating it should be held for at least 30 seconds. After the candidate describes and demonstrates the exercise to the patient, the candidate should ask the patient if they have any questions about the demonstration and understand the instructions given. The candidate should now ask the patient to demonstrate the exercise. As the patient demonstrates the exercise, the candidate should complete the following: Make corrections - the candidate should ensure that the patient is completing the exercise properly and make any necessary corrections. Monitor breathing - the candidate should monitor the patient's breathing Confirm target - the candidate should confirm that the muscle that is supposed to be targeted by the exercise is where the patient feels the stretch. Pain check - the candidate should check in with the patient about their pain level. Questions - the candidate should provide the patient another opportunity to ask questions about the exercise.

It is best to provide suggestions for safe ways to modify the exercise. The candidate must describe and demonstrate the appropriate protocol for the exercise. This can be done simultaneously. Layperson's terminology should be used to ensure maximum comprehension by the patient as they may not understand terms like abduction, lateral rotation, or concentric/eccentric/isometric contraction. The candidate demonstrates a stretch. This can include light jumping jacks for 2 to 3 minutes, a brisk 5-10 minute walk, or a range of motion exercise to the joint for 2-3 minutes. The candidate instructs the patient to perform a warm-up of light jumping jacks. The candidate must have the patient demonstrate the exercise to ensure that they understand the directions and can complete the exercise safely and effectively on their own. Note that the procedure for the patient demonstration of a PNF stretch differs from that of a stretch, strength, or ROM exercise. Further details are provided in the relevant section of this course. The patient demonstrates the stretch. During the patient demonstration, the candidate must monitor a variety of criteria. The topics listed below should be addressed by the candidate during the patient demonstration. Make Corrections The candidate must make any corrections, if necessary, to how the patient is performing the exercise. This is important in ensuring patient safety. Monitor Breathing The candidate needs to remind the patient to breathe appropriately and demonstrate/guide them if necessary. Confirm Target The patient must be asked where they are feeling the exercise in order to ensure the correct joint or muscle is being targeted. Pain Check The patient must be asked if they are experiencing any pain or discomfort during the exercise. Questions Before getting the patient to perform the exercise, the patient must be asked if they have any questions and if they have understood the instructions and the exercise demonstration. The candidate should be prepared with a modification if the patient is unable to do the exercise properly. The candidate should also be prepared with a progression if the patient does not feel the exercise or finds it too simple. The candidates description and demonstration will depend on the indicated anatomical structure and exercise. The candidate must provide a basic prescription to ensure the patient does not overwork/underwork the tissues while performing each exercise.

To stretch a muscle, it should be manipulated passively such that it is performing the direct opposite of its action. The muscle's insertion should be moved away from the origin for the muscle to lengthen. The candidate should inform the patient and examiners what exercise is being performed and what muscle it targets.
The candidate should inform the patient that they should discontinue its use if the exercise causes any negative reactions. It is also beneficial for the candidate to let the patient know they can modify the exercise if it does cause any negative reactions.
