JUNIOR

3. Gradual increase in load to stimulate adaptation without inviting injury.
7. Ability to sense joint position without looking — the body’s internal GPS.
11. Type of lever where effort lies between fulcrum and load — common, but rarely powerful.
12. Plane in which elbow flexion is measured using goniometry.
13. Type of contraction where muscle shortens while overcoming resistance.
16. Technique using contraction followed by relaxation to enhance flexibility via neuromuscular mechanisms.
18. Limitation in ROM due to muscle or soft tissue restriction without joint damage.
19. Maximum force a muscle can generate in a single effort — the gold standard of strength.

1. Product of force and perpendicular distance from axis — the silent architect of movement efficiency.
2. Principle stating that training gains fade when stimulus disappears — the body is loyal, not sentimental.
4. End-feel characterized by a sudden stop, often pathological and joint-related.
5. Exercise performed in a fixed distal segment, often safer in early rehab.
6. Exercise system designed for coordination retraining using vision as a substitute for proprioception.
8. Exercise prescription variable that defines how hard the body is pushed.
9. Muscle group primarily responsible for maintaining upright posture against gravity.
10. Loss of coordinated movement, often seen in cerebellar dysfunction.
14. Type of muscle contraction where length changes but tension remains controlled against resistance.
15. Movement performed by patient without assistance, powered purely by their own muscle effort.
17. Axis point of the goniometer aligned with joint’s anatomical pivot.
19. Normal knee flexion ROM approximately reaching this value in healthy adults.
