MET

Question 1

How

Answer 1

20-50% pressure
Resist for 10s
Stretch for 15-25s- during refractory period
Aiming to regain normal ROM not inc flexibility

Question 2

Normal bind

Answer 2

Progressive tension build up, fluid= dec ROM, spongy

Question 3

Physiological bind

Answer 3

End point= tight + tugging

Question 4

Fibrotic bind

Answer 4

Quick + harsh- still remains elastic

Question 5

Hypermobile bind

Answer 5

Loose and inc ROM

Question 6

Bony tissue bind

Answer 6

Reduced ROM, sudden + hard

Question 7

Contraindications

Answer 7

Open wounds
Fractures

Question 8

Physiology

Answer 8

Contraction triggers Golgi tendon
Afferent impulse to dorsal root of spinal cord
Meets inhibitory motor neurone to prevent further contraction
Muscle tone decreases, resulting in agonist relaxing + lengthening
