- 2. • INTRODUCTION: • *Assisted exercise is the one of the type of active movement. • DEFINITION : • * If the strength or the coordination of the muscle is insufficient to perform an activity, the external force is utilized to compensate the lack. • * The muscle has the strengthen or endurance but is not sufficient to perform an activity or control an action.
- 3. • INDICATION : •To assist movement in case of muscle weakness. • To increase ROM. • To assist functional activities of ADL. • After removal of plaster of cast. • Following tendon or muscle transplantation. • Muscular re-education. • CONTRA INDICATION : • Acute tears • Redness • Fracture • Greater swelling • Myocardial infarction
- 4. • GOALS : •Improve joint mobility. • Increase ROM. • Improve strength and stability. • Help to reduce pain and prevent future injury • TYPES OF ASSISTED EXERCISE : • * Active assisted exercise • * Passive assisted exercise • 1.Manual assisted • 2.Mechanical assisted
- 5. • ACTIVE ASSISTEDEXERCISE : • * The patient himself can assist with his opposite extremity to perform the assisted exercise. • * Voluntary contraction of muscle, which is able to produce little movement but is not sufficient enough to produce the movement in full range of motion. • EXAMPLE : • The opposite leg is used by the patient to increase the flexion movement of the knee in long sitting or prone lying.
- 6. • PASSIVE ASSISTEDEXERCISE : • 1. MANUAL ASSISTED EXERCISE : • The passive assistance may be given by the therapist or by any of the medical professionals or sometime by the patient’s relative and friends. • This type of assisted exercise in maximum passive in nature. • The patient has to try to perform the movement up his ability. • In passive movement their will not be a muscle work but in assisted exercise the muscle will be acting through out the movement.
- 7. • 2.MECHANICAL ASSISTEDEXERCISE : • The assisted exercise is done with the help of the mechanical devices are called mechanical assisted exercise. • EXAMPLE – Suspension therapy, pulley, spring. • PRINCHIPLES : • *Range • *Command • *Concentration • *Repetition • *Speed
- 8. • RANGE : •The assistance given is changeable depends on the range. Normally, in the beginning and end range. • The muscles strength will be less while comparative with the middle range. So, that the assistance provided should be more in the beginning and end range than the middle range. • COMMAND : • Some command is needed to activate the patient and perform the effective movement the command gives perfect guideline to the patient to practice an activity.
- 9. • CONCENTRATION : •Concentration of the patient is the must in the assisted exercise otherwise the movements will be passive in character. • Therapist has to make the patient to concentrate on the treatment well for effective, performing the assisted exercise. • SPEED : • Speed determine the assisted exercise more, if the speed is increased it shows the passive character and also the patient cannot cop up the movement. • REPETITION : • The movement has to be repeat, so that the joint range and the muscle power can be improved.
- 10. • EFFECT ANDUSES : • ❖ Increase the ROM of the joint. • ❖ Increase of the muscles. • ❖ It breaks the adhesion formation around the joint. • ❖ It reduces the spasm of the muscles. • ❖ It stretches the tightened soft tissue. • ❖ It reminds the coordinated movement of the joint or a muscle. • ❖ Increase the blood circulation and venous return to the joint and muscle.
