[Mechanisms of post-isometric relaxation of skeletal muscles as a method of rehabilitation]

Khvisiuk NI, Kadyrova LA, Sak AE, Marchenko VG.

The authors demonstrate that a merited place among the methods of manual therapy belongs to PIR--postisometric relaxation of the muscles. It is shown that the relaxation of the muscle converted to isometric regime of work is achieved on the basis of the anatomic and biomechanical principles of its action. The use of PIR is advisable, which is evident in the light of the theory of portal pain control.
