produce a relatively short lived contraction of the agonist muscle and short lived inhibition of the antagonist muscle. Prolonged and firm stretch produces inhibition of muscle responses which may help in reducing hypertonus, e.g. Bobath's neuro-developmental technique, inhibitory splinting and …

Synergists are muscles that work together in a close cooperation as they either contract or relax to modify the action of the agonist. Their aim is: - To make the agonist stronger. To eliminate the action of undesired movement. They may alter the direction of pull and that depends on their power in relation to the agonist muscle.

Roles of Muscles. Four Roles Muscles Play. Agonist. Antagonist. Stabilizer or Fixator. Neutralizer or Synergist. Definitions. Agonist. Muscles that concentrically contract to cause a movement. Example: Biceps contracting during the up phase of a curl. Antagonist. Muscles that eccentrically contract to oppose a movement.
An Introduction to the Muscular System
agonist/antagonist pairs: flexors/extensors and abductors/adductors synergist: a muscle that helps a larger agonist work more efficiently example: latissimus dorsi extends, adducts, and medially rotates arm at shoulder joint; teres major assists in starting such movements when the should joint is at full flexion

agonist, is a muscle that directly brings about a specific action; an . antagonist. muscle directly opposes that action. For example, consider flexion and extension of the elbow. For flexion, the brachialis and biceps brachii are prime movers, while triceps brachii is the antagonist. Muscles can also be . synergists
