___ KEY TERMS

Question 1

Altered reciprocal inhibition

Answer 1

Concept of muscle inhibition, caused by tight agonist, which inhibits its functional antagonist

Question 2

Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 2

simultaneous relaxation of one muscle and the contraction of its antagonist to allow movement to take place

Question 3

Arthrokinematic dysfunction

Answer 3

Altered forces at the joint that result in abnormal muscular activity and impaired neuromuscular communication at the joint

Question 4

Autogenic Inhibition

Answer 4

Process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles
