Abstract: |
Initially, in the introduction, exercise is presented as a means of treatment for specific health problems and its types and techniques are briefly mentioned. The next chapter describes exercises to improve joint range of motion (passive and active range of motion). The limiting factors of range of motion and the types of exercises proposed to improve range of motion are discussed, so that the student can then design appropriate range of motion improvement programs. Next, reference is made to the types of stretches and the design of programs with stretching exercises. The next chapter deals with isokinetic exercise (Concentric and eccentric exercise), isokinetic assessment, isokinetic parameters and their applications. Then both isometric exercise and isometric evaluation and isotonic exercise (Concentric and eccentric exercise) and isotonic evaluation are discussed. The distinction between closed and open kinetic chain exercises and when each is selected in therapeutic exercise programs is presented. The next chapter develops exercises aimed at improving proprioception through balance exercises. It then shows how to improve muscle control of the body can be achieved with Pilates-type exercises and the use of Swiss balls. This is followed by a discussion of water exercise and how to design a water exercise programme according to the musculoskeletal and neurological problems of the participant. Finally, for better practical application, examples of designing therapeutic exercise programmes with all the types of exercise mentioned above are given.
