Quiz 1.1.2

Strength and maximal muscle activation is noted in multiple articles and cited by way of , , and neural activation. George Goodheart developed his theory of muscle inhibition, he distinguished muscle weakness from neural muscular ; the latter of which he proposed was due to “an inhibition of motor neurons located in the spinal cords horn neuron pool” (McCord, 2009, p. 1). The inhibited state of the anterior horn motor neuron is determined by its central integrative state (CIS) which is the sum of all the at the neuron. The CIS then affects the functional strength of skeletal muscle. This means that muscle strength vs weakness is actually a reflection of the CIS.

The noted weakness on manual muscle testing reveals an area of potential in the central or peripheral nervous systems pathways, therapeutic techniques are employed to target these dysfunctions (Schmitt and Yanuck, 1999). The utilization of stimulation of the neurolymphatic points produces a change which also comes with it also is linked to balanced neurological function might further be associated with other benefits including reduced , restored autonomic and endocrine function, and improved function (Schmitt and Yanuck, 1999).

We are actually creating sensory receptor stimulation resulting in excitation leading to more function. This is a game changer for you and your clients because it has very few contraindications and can be applied to all ages and levels of infirmary.
