This paper is a review of progressive relaxation training based on muscle stretching exercises. Stretch-based relaxation training is an alternative to traditional tense-release methods for teaching self-regulation of muscle activity. The rationale and basic procedures for stretch-based relaxation are presented, along with a review of research studies exploring the clinical efficacy of the techniques. Experimental evidence has demonstrated decreases in subjective measures of muscle tension and activation, as well as decreases in EMG activity at selected target muscle sites when stretch-based relaxation procedures are employed. The clinical application of stretch-based relaxation is presented and illustrated with a case study describing the use of these procedures to assist in the treatment of neck tension/pain and anxiety. Discussion centers on the potential role of stretch-based relaxation in the management of anxiety and musculoskeletal disorders.
本文是一篇基于肌肉拉伸练习的渐进性放松训练综述。基于拉伸的放松训练是一种替代传统紧张 - 放松方法来教授肌肉活动自我调节的方式。文中介绍了基于拉伸的放松训练的基本原理和程序，同时对探索该技术临床疗效的研究进行了综述。实验证据表明，采用基于拉伸的放松程序时，肌肉紧张和激活的主观测量指标有所下降，选定目标肌肉部位的肌电图活动也有所减少。本文介绍了基于拉伸的放松训练的临床应用，并通过一个案例研究进行说明，该案例描述了如何使用这些程序辅助治疗颈部紧张/疼痛和焦虑症。讨论集中在基于拉伸的放松训练在焦虑症和肌肉骨骼疾病管理中的潜在作用。
