When muscle overactivity developed in these shortened muscles, tension was generated at shorter lengths. A lack of voluntary contraction in the antagonists of these shortened muscles prevented their natural reextension, leading to a continuation of the process of stiffness and fixation. In the upper limb, muscles that typically shorten include shoulder adductors/ internal rotators, forearm pronators, and elbow, wrist, and finger flexors. In the lower limb, muscles that typically shorten include ankle plantar flexors, toe flexors, and hip and knee flexors.
The study of Friden and Lieber suggests that this view may have to be altered. MALADAPTIVE CONSEQUENCES OF THE UMNS We have offered the argument that the interaction between stereotypic positive and negative signs of the UMNS results in chronic 1-way joint attitudes giving rise to common patterns of UMN dysfunction. Mechanical and biological changes in soft tissues, such as muscle, play an important role in resistance to passive and active movements. 15). The negative sign of impaired limb usage and weak voluntary contraction of the antagonists of shortened muscles prevents range of motion in the opposite direction, contributing to the continuation of the process of postural fixation and its maladaptive consequences for patient care.
