Mechanical and morph ological insights into muscle stretching and joint contractures

Constant stretching force immediately increases range of motio n in joint stiffness

Stretching with a constant force immediat ely increases range of motion more than holding a joint in a fixed po sition, research by movement scientist Guido Geusebroek has shown. In the longer term, this finding could contribute to improving treatmen ts for people recovering from a stroke or living with spastic muscle disorders.

DESCRIPTION: Mechanical and morphological insights into muscle stretch ing and joint contractures

Constant stretching force immediately increases range of motion in joint stiffness

Stretching with a co nstant force immediately increases range of motion more than holding a joint in a fixed position, research by movement scientist Guido Geu sebroek has shown. In the longer term, this finding could contribute to improving treatments for people recovering from a stroke or living with spastic muscle disorders.
