What is the medical term meaning abnormal shortening of muscle tissues?
Contracture is abnormal shortening of muscle. This condition limits joint mobility by making the flexor muscle resistant to stretching. It usually results from lack of movement of the joint, as after an accident or neurological disease.
Which tissue allow the body to move by stretching and contracting?
The type of tissue that allows or produces movement is muscle tissue.
Are there muscle in the body that do not need stretching?

Why stretching a muscle beyond its optimal length reduce its ability to contract?
Stretching a muscle beyond its optimal length reduces its ability to contract. This is because the muscle can be torn or damaged.
What tipe of Stretching that uses neuromuscular reflexes to gain further stretching of the muscle is called?
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) Stretching. Once the muscle elongation is controlled and the danger of tearing is past, the muscle then relaxes. During this phase, the muscle is more relaxed and, thus, able to stretch further. This is the principle on which PNF stretching is based. In addition to stretching the muscle fibers, PNF also has the advantage of training the stretch receptors of the muscles to become accustomed to the muscle's greater length, allowing the muscle to elongate further without resistance.
