Physical Therapy Volunteer 6/22/12

• Neck strain testing
• restricted motion on one side during lateral neck flexion + restricted motion on opposite side during neck rotation
• unstuck shoulder - unstable shoulder joint
• reinforce neuromuscular with isometric exercises 
• passive ROM isn't enough on its own
• muscle function reverses when joint axis is crossed
• MAT (Muscle activation technique) - targets weak muscles, range of motion
• injury caused by muscle tightness caused by weak stabilizing muscles, strengthen the weak muscles and the tightness will resolve itself
• reciprocal inhibition
• ART (activation release technique) - targets scar tissue (soft tissue adhesion)
• applies tension to scar tissue while moving limb/joint through range of motion
• Tommy Johns surgery - ulnar collateral ligament replacement
• palmaris longus (not everyone has one)
• trauma vs long term straining
• volume and rotation
• different pitches - different ROM angles, wrist flexion and rotation, finger contraction
