What are some neuromuscular exercises used in rehab?
Some neuromuscular exercises used in rehab include:
1. Isometric exercises: These involve contracting a muscle without any movement. Examples include wall sits, planks, and isometric holds.
2. Eccentric exercises: These involve lengthening a muscle while it is under tension. Examples include heel drops, resisted ankle dorsiflexion, and resisted hip abduction.
3. Proprioceptive exercises: These involve improving balance and coordination. Examples include single-leg stands, single-leg hops, and balance board exercises.
4. Plyometric exercises: These involve explosive movements that involve a rapid stretching and shortening of the muscle. Examples include box jumps, squat jumps, and lateral hops.
