INTERVENTION PROGRESSION
Several approach have been proposed for
progression of excercise to optimize muscle
performance. Two of the more popular and
earliest approach are the DeLorme technique
and the daily adjustable progressive resistive
exercise (DAPRE) technique. The DeLorme
technique was the first well-documented
approach to exercise progression for muscle
strengthening (Box 5-1).101 Using this
technique, exercise are performed as three sets
of ten repetition, starting with a load equal to

More
recently,
the
Norwegian
physiotherapist Oddvar Holten introduced the
medical exercise training (MET) approach to
muscle training.187 This approach involves use
of the Holten diagram to guide exercise
progression. This diagram depicts the
relationship between the maximum number of
repetitions that can be performed and the
percentage of maximal resistance in regard to
muscle strength , strength/endurance, and
endurance (Box 5-2). The diagram helpss
determine the muscular effort (alterations in
muscular strength, endurance, or both).156
According to the diagram, exercise is most
effective for improving endurance when 25 to
30 or more repetitions are performed at 60% to
65% of 1 RM or less and is most effective for
strengthening when contraction at 90% of 1
RM are used
In Summary, when selecting exercise to
improve muscle performance one should
consider the following:
Determine 10 RM
Patient then perform:
10 reps at 1/2 of 10 RM
10 reps at 3/4 of 10 RM
10 reps at the full of 10 RM

CASE STUDY 5-1
SCAPULAR
Examination
Patient History
HA is 21 years-old right-handed female college
volleyball player with a 2 month history of
right shoulder pain with overhead movements,
including serving and spiking. This pain started
2 months ago as a dull ache and has
progressively worsened. She has used
modalities such as ice, heat, electrical
stimulation, and ultrasound in the training
room, but none have helped. Radiographs and
past medical history are unremarkable, except
the
Intervention
First, HA needs to incorporate relative rest into
her existing exercise program. She is therefore
instructed to avoid overhead lifting, serving,
setting, and spiking for serveral weeks while
continuing with other upper extremity exercise
that occur below shoulder level. Her initial
interventions included moist heat followed by
soft tissue mobilization to relax sore muscles
and decrease muscle spasm produced by pain
from overuse.
Once HAs shoulder pain subside, she
began muscular strength and enduracne
training exercise. First, she performed scapulan
and rotator cuff isometric at submaximal level
Outcomes
After 5 weeks of physical rehabilitation, HA
had full muscle strength and endurance of her
dominant upper extremity and returned to
volleyball pain-free. She also had no scapular
winging on the right involved side. She
carefully progressed her volleyball practice and
playing intensity over several weeks to allow
her to return to full activity safely. She has had
no recurrence of symptoms

book for a case study describing the
examination, evaluation and intervention for
patient with low back pain due to muscle
weakness
CHAPTER SUMMARY
Muscle tissue is the only type of soft tissue that
can generate tension enabling the skeletal
system to perform function such as maintaining
posture, respiration, moving limbs, and
absorbing ground reaction forces during the
gait cycle. A comprehensive examination must
be performed to determine the type and level of
muscle performance impairment. This complex
process of examination is important for many
facets of rehabilitation, including evaluation,
diagnosis, development of approapriate
treatment
plan,
and
selection
and
implementation of intervention to improve
muscle performance. Each aspect of muscle
performance, including strength, power, and
endurance, has its own unique characteristics
and must be trained accordingly with
appropiate specific intervention

A band: the densest portion of a sarcomere
Absolute strength: A measure of the maximal
amount of force generated in a movement or
exercise. This is indicated by the most weight an
individual can lift for 1 RM
Actin: The thin protein of myofibril that acts with
myosin to produce muscle contraction and
relaxation
Concentric contraction: A muscle action
