Study Notes
Muscle Energy Techniques
- Designed to improve joint mobility, muscle strength, and neuromuscular control
- Aim to restore proper joint alignment and reduce muscle tension
Muscle Tone
- The term "autogenic inhibition" refers to the effect of reduced tone experienced by a muscle after brief periods following an isometric contraction
Reciprocal Inhibition
- Involves the contraction of an antagonist muscle to inhibit the contraction of an agonist muscle
- Process used to lengthen a muscle and improve joint range of motion
Muscle Contraction
- After a muscle is contracted in muscle energy techniques, it will experience a brief period of relaxation or inhibition
Neuromuscular Inhibition
- Two fundamental neurophysiological principles account for the neuromuscular inhibition in muscle energy techniques:
- Reciprocal inhibition and autogenic inhibition
