Explain the role that Golgi tendon organs play in the PIR technique
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• Following a strong prolonged isometric contraction, the Golgi tendon organ will cause a refractory state, where contraction is inhibited in the muscle.
• During this state when contraction is inhibited, the target muscle is more receptive to lengthening.
• During this period, the therapist can then move the target muscle into a stretch slightly beyond the restricted pathological barrier.
