What factors may limit flexibility
|
|
| - | What factors may limit flexibility? |
| - | A number of anatomical factors may limit the ability of a joint to move through a full, unrestricted range of motion |
| - | May the bony structure restrict the end-point in the range? |
| - | Certainly. It may be because of excess calcium in the joint space or bony prominence s that stop movements at normal end-points in the range. |
| - | How does fat limit the ability to move through a full range of motion? |
| - | Fat may also limit flexibility. |
| - | Does skin have any impact on flexibility development? |
| - | Skin might also be responsible for limiting movement, e.g., the scar tissue is incapable of stretching with joint movement. |
| - | Do muscles and their tendons play any pat in limiting range of motion? |
| - | Muscles and tendons are most often responsible for limiting range of motion. |
| - | What kind of people can be referred to as being loose-jointed? |
| - | A person with relatively slack ligaments and joint capsules are generally referred to as being loose-jointed |
| - | What can help a person to increase flexibility? |
| - | Stretching may improve elasticity of skin contractures, joint capsules, and musculotendinous units to varying degrees over time. With the exception of bony structure, age, and gender, all the other factors that limit flexibility may be altered to increase range of joint motion. |
5.9. Make the sentences from Paragraph 1 Interrogative.
5.10. Make the sentences from Paragraphs 2 and 3 Negative.
5.11. Use the sentences from Paragraph 4 in one of Past Tenses.
5.12. Convert the sentences from paragraph 5 into Present Perfect Tense
5.13. Complete the sentences with words from the box.
| competitive fitness levels; responsible; commonly used; goals; injured |
1. The sports therapist is … for designing, monitoring, and progressing programs of rehabilitation for injured athletes. 2. The goals for a sports medicine rehabilitation program differ from … for another patient populations. 3. The athlete must return to … … …, and the intensity of the rehabilitation must be adjusted appropriately during the course of the program. 4. The sports therapist has to understand the principles and techniques involved in reconditioning the … athlete. 5. The term therapeutic exercise is … … to refer to techniques of reconditioning.
5.14. Give negative and interrogative forms of the following sentences.
1. The static stretch involves a continuous sustained stretch lasting anywhere from
6 to 60 seconds.
2. It is sufficient time for the Golgi tendon organs to begin responding to the
increase in tension.
3. The impulses from Golgi tendon organs can override the impulses coming from
the muscle spindles, allowing the muscle to reflexively relax after initial reflex resistance to the change in length.
5.15. Read, translate and act out the conversation below.
| ASSESSMENT OF ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RANGE OF MOTION - How to assess active or passive range of joint motion? - Accurate measurement of active and passive range of joint motion is difficult. - Are there any devices to carry out such measurements? - Various devices have been designed to accommodate variations in the size of the joints, | 
Goniometric measurement.
Measurement of active knee joint flexion using a goniometer.
|
as well as the complexity of movements in articulations that involve more than one joint.
- How interesting! And which of the devices could you recommend?
- Of these devices, the simplest and most widely used is the goniometer.
- Goniometer! What is it?
- A goniometer is a large protractor with measurements in degrees.
- I see. How does it operate?
- By aligning the individual arms of the goniometer parallel to the longitudinal axis of the two segments involved in motion about a specific joint, it is possible to obtain reasonably accurate measurement of range of movement.
- I know that there are some standardization tables here.
- Yes, there is a list of what would be considered normal active ranges for movements at various joints.
- Now it is clear that the goniometer has an important place in a rehabilitation setting, where it is essential to assess improvement in joint flexibility to modify injury rehabilitation programs.
5.16. Translate the following into English.
НЕКОТОРЫЕ РЕКОМЕНДАЦИИ ДЛЯ СТРЕТЧИНГА
(GUIDELINES FOR STRETCHING)
Для осуществления правильной и безопасной программы по стретчингу следует придерживаться следующих рекомендаций.
* Перед началом занятий по энергичному стретчингу (before stretching vigorously) следует размяться при помощи медленного бега или быстрой ходьбы.
* Для увеличения гибкости мышцы должны интенсивно нагружаться (be overloaded) или растягиваться, превышая допустимые приделы (beyond its normal range), но не до состояния боли (to the point of pain).
* Увеличение амплитуды движений будет специфическим для каждого сустава или мышцы в отдельности.
* Соблюдай осторожность при стретчинге мышц, окружающих больной сустав (that surround a painful joint).
* Избегай чрезмерных нагрузок связок и капсул (Avoid overstretching the ligaments and capsules), окружающих суставы.
* Всегда растягивайся постепенно и под контролем (with control).
5.16. Give a talk on the “Facts that Limit Flexibility”.
