Abstract des Autors

Studies of the physical properties of connective tissue have helped determine improved techniques for therapeutic range-of-motion exercise. Laboratory studies indicate that the best way to permanently lengthen connective tissue structures without compromising their structural integrity is prolonged, lowintensity stretching at elevated tissue temperatures and cooling the tissue before releasing the tension. This article provides some practical therapeuticguidelines for physicians, trainers, and therapists who prescribe range-ofmotion exercise for both rehabilitation and physical conditioning.
