Study Notes
Guide to Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Stretching Techniques
- Musculoskeletal physiotherapy stretching aims to elongate both the contractile and non-contractile components of the myotendinous structure to place it in maximum external path.
- Stretching is classified according to structure (global or analytic) and form of realization (dynamic or static with passive, active, or inactive tension).
- Dynamic stretching is performed after static/passive stretching and aims to increase dynamic flexibility, which is the degree to which an active muscle contraction moves through ROM.
- Static stretching is slow, progressive stretching that is mostly used for therapeutic purposes and involves holding a specific position until tightness or tension disappears.
- There are three types of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching techniques: hold-relax, post-isometric stretching, and contract-relax, all of which use neurological silence and reciprocal inhibition to enhance active and passive range of motion.
- The goals of stretching include improving/maintaining extensibility, relaxation, and circulation, and factors that affect extensibility include intensity of traction, velocity, time, location of force, temperature, and age.
- Stretching techniques must be chosen based on specific activities and should be applied following rules and principles such as respecting joint physiology, amplitudes, and times of stretching, as well as increasing intensity across transversal mobilization.
- Mechanical, neurophysiological, and therapeutic indications for stretching include maintaining/extending range of motion, improving performance, and treating spasticity, myotendinous retraction, and non-functional scars.
- Contraindications for stretching include acute/recent injuries, instabilities/dislocations, inflammation of peripheral nerves, hypermobility, and fragile skin grafts.
- Patients with limited extensibility have a greater capacity to increase extensibility, and elongation mechanisms depend on mechanical, liquid/vascular, and nervous factors.
- The persistence of elongation depends on factors such as external force, internal force, and the curve of tension-deformation, and immediate effectiveness can last from 2 hours to 2-3 days.
- Stretching techniques should be spread out, and for prevention, they should be included in a warm-up routine.
- After explosive physical activities, avoid stretching and instead opt for aerobic exercise, self-stretching, showering, and PT.
