Apply the concept of reciprocal inhibition to describe what happens at the knee joint during both the downward phase and upward phase [8].
Consider the following questions when giving your response:
1. What synovial joint movements are occurring at the identified joint?
2. What muscle(s) are functioning as the agonist & antagonist?
3. What muscle contractions occurring throughout both the downward & upward phase of the movement?
4. How does reciprocal inhibition apply during this movement? What muscles are being inhibited and when/how? Are they relaxing concentrically or eccentrically?
