effects of immobilization on CT?
continual R&R increased cross-links decreased ground substance fibrosis remobilization
increased cross links has what effect on mobility?
decrease mobility
what are the mechanical properties and tissue behavior?
elasticity
viscoelasticity
plastcity
creep
for the stress strain curve, what range does ultimate strength lie in?
plastic range (permanent deformation)
hysteresis is found where on the curve?
with increased load applied
increased in change of tissue length
*after new length set
what is the effect of deformation with hysteresis in repetitive stretching?
increases with increased load
neuromuscular influences on ROM?
muscle spindle
golgi tendon organ
