How is facilitation involved in pathology?
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• When a particular muscle action is repeated, the nerve impulse along the pathway becomes easier and faster.
• Muscle movement and movement patterns that are restricted or unhealthy can become facilitated, which can cause the unhealthy patterns to remain once the primary injury is resolved.
• Facilitation can also be used to help heal a healthy pattern if a new healthier pattern can be rehearsed once tension is released.
