You have a patient assume a prone-lying position and prop symmetrically on his forearms.You apply manual resistance in several directions at the shoulder girdles as you ask the patient to hold (maintain) the symmetrical position.This technique is known as:
A)Agonist-contraction.
B)Rhythmic stabilization.
C)Recurrent facilitation.
D)Repeated contractions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described is rhythmic stabilization, which involves applying manual resistance in various directions while the patient maintains an isometric contraction. This is intended to improve neuromuscular control and stability in the joint. Agonist-contraction involves active muscle contraction against resistance, recurrent facilitation involves facilitating muscle contraction through various techniques such as tapping or vibration, and repeated contractions involve performing a series of contractions and relaxations to improve muscle strength and endurance.
