Isometric exercises Definition: Is static form of exercise without change in the length of the contracting muscle and without visible joint motion. Static contraction produce a great amount of tension and force output on the contracting muscle. During isometric contraction, strength will increase if it is sustained against resistance for at least 6 seconds. in order to develop strength throughout the ROM, resistance must be applied in several positions. The amount of tension produced during the isometric contraction is directly affected by the length of the muscle of the time of contraction. Therefore the amount of resistance also must be vary at different points in the range. -Resistance can be applied either manually or mechanically. Examples of Isometric regimens Brief maximal isometric exercise: in which the patient performs a singles isometric contraction is held for 5 to 6 seconds. Brief repetitive isometric exercise: in which the patient performs five to ten brief maximum isometric contraction against resistance. Multiple isometric exercise: in which the patient performs the isometric exercise against resistance applied every 10 degrees in the ROM and hold for 10 seconds. This type of exercise improve muscle strength through the ROM Equipment used with isometric exercise 1-Free weights and pully system 2-Isokinetic devices 3-Lifting a weight that provides resistance greater than the force of the muscle 4-when the patient performs the exercise against fixed objects( pushing a wall) Principles 1-Determine the point in the ROM at which the muscle contraction is to occur and set the patient up accordingly 2-Appropriate stabilization is need to avoid substitution 3-Instruct the patient to contract the muscle, hold a least 6 seconds, then relax and repeat 4-Have the patient carry out the exercise at several points in the ROM 5-Make sure that the patient exhales while exerting his maximum isometric exercise Definition: Movement performed within the u
