Plyometric Training in Physiotherapy: Definition, Types, Benefits and Notes

Details on Plyometric Training in Physiotherapy: Definition, Types, Techniques, Benefits and PDF NotesDefinition: Plyometric training is defined as a system of high-velocity resistance trainingcharacterized by a rapid eccentric contraction during which the muscle elongates, immediately followed by a rapid reversal of movement with a resisted shortening contraction of the same muscle. Plyometric training also calledContinueContinue reading “Plyometric Training in Physiotherapy: Definition, Types, Benefits and Notes”

Isometric Muscle Contraction: Definition, Examples and Clinical Applications

Isometric Muscle Contraction: Definition, Examples and Clinical ApplicationsDefinition: Muscle actions (or contractions) are described as Isometric contraction (constant length) or dynamic contractions consisting of concentric contraction (shortening of the muscle under load) and eccentric contraction (lengthening of the muscle under load).When the whole muscle is activated and the bones it is attached to do notContinueContinue reading “Isometric Muscle Contraction: Definition, Examples and Clinical Applications”

MRC grading: MRC Muscle Grading Scale: Complete Guide for Physiotherapy Students

MRC Muscle Grading Scale: Complete Guide for Physiotherapy StudentsMRC GradingMRC Grading for Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) refers to the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale, a standardized system used by clinicians to grade muscle strength.It ranges from Grade 0 to Grade 5, with each grade describing the level of muscle power a patient can generate.MRC MuscleContinueContinue reading “MRC grading: MRC Muscle Grading Scale: Complete Guide for Physiotherapy Students”

Progressive Resisted Exercises (PRE): Principles, Types, Advantages and Physiotherapy Note

Progressive Resisted Exercises (PRE): Principles, Types, Advantages and Physiotherapy Note, PDF-PRE, Definition Definition: Progressive resistance exercise (PRE) is a system of dynamic resistance training in which a constant external load is applied to the contracting muscle by some mechanical means (usually a free weight or weight machine) and incrementally increased.The repetition maximum (RM) is usedContinueContinue reading “Progressive Resisted Exercises (PRE): Principles, Types, Advantages and Physiotherapy Note”
