- Dynamic and Passive
Dy...
, - If neuromuscular inhibition techniques are applied, may be able to elongate shortened
muscle
Arthrogenic/Periarticular Contracture
- Due to intra-articular pathology and resulting in decreased arthrokinematic motion
(e.g., joint effusion or adhesions; osteophyte formation)
- Connective tissues or joint capsule lose mobility
- Treated with: joint mobilization or surgery
Fibrotic/Irreversible Contracture
- Loss of soft tissue extensibility
- Due to long-term immobilization or severe tissue trauma with inflammatory response
or due to neuromuscular disease resulting in degradation of muscle tissue
- Normal muscle and organized connective tissue are replaced with fibrotic adhesions,
scar tissue or heterotopic bone.
- When due to immobilization, may try prolonged stretch
Stretching Indications
1) ROM is limited because soft tissues have lost their extensibility
2) Muscle weakness and shortening of opposing tissue
3) Part of fitness program designed to prevent or reduce the risk of musculoskeletal
injuries
4) May be used prior to and after vigorous exercise
Stretching Contraidications
1) Bony block
2) After a recent fracture and bony union is incomplete
