Study Notes
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)
- The primary purpose of MET is to improve musculoskeletal function and reduce pain.
Forms of MET
- NOT a form of MET: (question does not specify an option, but it implies that there are different forms of MET)
Neurophysiological Principles
- The assumed effect of reduced tone experienced by a muscle following an isometric contraction in MET is due to the Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR).
- The neurophysiological principle that relates to the automatic relaxation of a muscle for a brief, latent period after contraction is Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR).
- Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) states that when a muscle contracts, its antagonist muscle relaxes.
Inhibiting Muscle Contraction
- MET incorporates Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) and Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) to improve musculoskeletal function and reduce pain.
- The physiological response of the antagonists of a contracted muscle in MET is known as Reciprocal Inhibition (RI).
