Across
- 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.
Down
- 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.
