Explain the roles that the target muscle and its opposing muscle play in the RI technique
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• The goal of RI is to get the target muscle to relax and lengthen by taking advantage of the fact that when a muscle isotonically contracts (with movement at the joint against resistance), its opposing muscle must relax to allow movement at the joint.
• The client will contract the muscle that opposes the target muscle and move it through its range against gentle resistance provided by the therapist.
