Tissue extensibility relates to tissue flexibility, which is related to the strength and power that your muscles are able to generate. If you have healthy, extensible, flexible muscle, you are going to be able to perform much better than if your muscles are scarred down, hard, and inflexible.
Q. What is used to increase the extensibility of soft tissues?
Used to increase the extensibility of soft tissues through reciprocal inhibition. Moderate evidence that forms of active stretching can increase joint range of motion and muscle flexibility. The process of using agonist and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion.

Q. Which term is defined as the normal extensibility of all soft tissue?
Flexibility. The normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow the full range of motion of a joint. Extensibility. Capability to be elongated or stretched. Dynamic range of motion.
Q. What flexibility technique increases the extensibility of soft tissues through both autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition?
Flexibility Training
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Active (STRENGTH) | Flexibility is designed to improve the extensibility of soft tissue and increase neuromuscular efficiency by using reciprocal inhibition. (SMR and Active Isolated Stretching) |
Q. What are the 3 phases of flexibility training?
There are considered to be three main types of stretching methods for muscle flexibility. These are static stretching, dynamic stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF).
Q. What are predictable patterns of muscle imbalance called?
Flexibility Training Concepts
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are predictable patterns of muscle imbalances called? | Postural patterns of muscle imbalances |
| What is the tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during fuctional movement patterns? | Relative Flexibility |
Q. What is corrective flexibility?
Corrective flexibility focuses on correcting muscular imbalances and altered movement patterns. It includes foam rolling (self-myofascial release) and static stretching. Corrective flexibility is bringing muscles back into proper length.
Q. What can synergistic dominance influence?
Synergistic dominance may result in altered movement patterns and increased risk of lower extremity injury.
Q. What is a multiplanar lunge to balance?
The multiplanar lunge is a great mobility exercise that dynamically stretches the muscles surrounding the hip joint. Not only can we use this exercise to improve hip mobility but it also strengthens the hip muscles, and improves balance and stability in multiple planes of motion.
Q. What is the main goal of balance training?
Main goal of balance training is to continually increase client’s awareness of his or her limit of stability(or kinesthetic awareness) by creating controlled instability.
Q. What are the 3 types of balance exercises?
Balance Training
- Standing with your weight on one leg and raising the other leg to the side or behind you.
- Putting your heel right in front of your toe, like walking a tightrope.
- Standing up and sitting down from a chair without using your hands.
- Walking while alternating knee lifts with each step.
- Doing tai chi or yoga.
Q. What are some examples of coordination exercises?
Require coordinated movement of large muscles or groups of muscles (trunk, extremities). Examples: include walking, running, lifting activities.
Q. What is the sense of balance called?
The sense of balance or equilibrioception is the perception of balance and spatial orientation. The balance system works with the visual and skeletal systems (the muscles and joints and their sensors) to maintain orientation or balance.
Q. What is proprioception mean?
Proprioception, also called kinesthesia, is the body’s ability to sense its location, movements, and actions.
Q. What is the Kinocilium function?
https://www.britannica.com/science/kinocilium. sense of balance; inner ear. In vertebrates the utricular maculae in the inner ear contain an otolithic membrane and otoconia (particles of calcium carbonate) that bend hair cells in the direction of gravity.
Q. What are otoliths?
Otoliths, commonly known as “earstones,” are hard, calcium carbonate structures located directly behind the brain of bony fishes. Asteriscus: This type of otolith is involved in the detection of sound and the process of hearing.
