I. MUSCLE
CONTRACTIONS
1. Differentiate
Isotonic, Isometric,
Isokinetic
contraction.
2. Enumerate at least
5 examples of
exercises in each
muscle contraction.
ISOMETRIC
Isometric means
"same length," so that
your muscles do not get
longer or shorter by
bending a joint. In
isometric exercises, the
muscles do not shorten
or lengthen. These
exercises are often
referred to as static. For
example, a person may
hold a plank position
and therefore no
muscles shorten or
lengthen. Other
isometric exercise
examples are
abdominal vacuums
and bridges. Isometric
exercises can help to
maintain strength, and
to a lesser degree, help
to build strength. One
limitation to isometric
exercises is that it
improves strength in
only one particular
position – the exercise
that the person
performs itself.
Isometric exercises also
do not improve speed.
However, they can be
still useful for
enhancing overall
stability in the position.
Examples:
1. forearm planks
2. high planks
3. wall sits
4. v- sits
5. overhead hold
ISOTONIC
Isotonic means
"same tension", so that
the weight on your
muscles stays the same.
With isotonic exercises,
the same amount of
muscle tension or
weight is maintained
throughout the
movement. An example
is performing a bicep
curl as the weight
remains the same as
the joint moves
through the entire
range of motion. Other
examples of isotonic
exercises include push-
ups, pull-ups, and
squats. The weight of
the body remains the
same as the joint
moves between the
start and end ranges.
Isotonic exercises for
occupational therapy
practice can therefore
help to build strength.
Strength can enable
participation in
meaningful activities
with function. Strength
may be especially
important as patients
may decondition and
lose strength due to an
injury or disease such
as from even a brief
stay in the hospital.
Examples:
1.squats
2.pushups & pull ups
3. bench presses
4.deadlifts
5.. bicep curls
ISOKINETIC
Isokinetic means
"same speed" so that
your muscles are
contracting at the same
speed throughout the
workout. Isokinetic
exercise involves
motion, but the speed
stays the same, such as
with a stationary bike.
The word isokinetic
contains kinetic, which
means motion. With a
stationary bike, the leg
moves through the
circular motion of the
pedal circumferences,
but the speed of limb
motion and revolutions
per minute stays the
same. In isokinetic
exercises, the
resistance can vary,
such as using the
resistance adjustment
in an exercise bike.
Often specialized
equipment is used to
promote isokinetic
exercise. Another
example is a treadmill.
This allows target
speeds and resistance
to be adjusted and
dialed in for the
individual. Even allows
specific muscle groups
to be targeted. Overall,
isokinetic exercises can
help to improve
muscular strength and
endurance. In
occupational therapy,
isokinetic exercises can
be used for recovery, to
prevent injury, increase
flexibility, muscle
development, and
promote function.
Isokinetic machines can
be used after an injury
or condition such as
stroke. Isokinetic
exercises also can help
to address balance and
coordination through
improving support of
core muscles as well as
the spine. This helps
patients to build
confidence in their
recovery and feel
empowered in their
independence for their
participation in
occupations even
outside of the exercise
realm in mobility, work,
school, play, and
leisure.
Examples:
1.Exercise Bike
An exercise bike, such
as a stationary bike or a
spin bike (indoor cycle),
can be used for
isokinetic exercise if
you pedal at a constant
rate or cadence.
2. Arm Ergometer
An arm ergometer is
essentially an exercise
bike for your arms, so
the same principles can
apply here to perform
isokinetic exercises.
3.Treadmill
Walking on a treadmill
can also be an example
of an isokinetic
exercise, although not
quite as perfect as
cycling on an exercise
bike.
If you walk at a
constant speed, your
muscles are contracting
at the same speed
throughout the range
of motion.
4.Dynamometers
One example of
isokinetic exercise
machines is
dynamometers, which
are specialized exercise
equipment that is able
to measure force
output during
movement that occurs
at a controlled and
constant speed.
5.Manual Rep Timing

Theoretically, it’s
possible to turn most
standard strength
training exercises
with resistance
bands into an isokinetic
exercise by
deliberately, manually
controlling the speed
and rhythm of your
reps.
