Q

Does fascia contain nerves?

A

Yes - so fascia can sense stress/injury and react to it

Q

Two things to be sure of when starting OMT involving the patient and physician

A
  1. Pt should be comfortable and relaxed

2. Physician should be comfortable, able to minimize energy expenditure, and able to use body weight for treatment

Q

Four reasons to use ST Technique

A
  1. Somatic dysfunction
  2. Clinical conditions such as hypertonic muscles, excess tension, etc.
  3. Diagnostically
  4. In preparation for another OMT technique

Q

16
Q

Inhibition

A

Sustained deep pressure over hypertonic myofascial structure

17
Q

What type of technique is MFR?

A

Can be direct, indirect, or combined

18
Q

Myofascial release

A

System of diagnosis and treatment which engages continual palpatory feedback to achieve release of myofascial tissues

19
Q

Indication for MFR

A

Somatic dysfunction

20
Q

Two things to know before doing MFR too aggressively

A
  1. Overly aggressive intervention will be counterproductive

2. Flare-ups are possible for people with autoimmune or inflammatory disorders

21
Q

Two absolute contraindications for MFR

A
  1. Lack of consent

2. Absence of somatic dysfunction

22
Q

Is MFR used to treat or diagnose?

A

Both

23
Q

How to get started with MFR

A

Evaluate the area of somatic dysfunction in multiple planes of motion - determines position of ease and restrictive barrier

24
Q

Integrated Neuromuscular Release

A

An enhancing maneuver used with MFR that activates the musculature below where the hands are treating, helping to untether the dysfunction

25
Q

Stress as a force effect

A

The effect of a force normalized over an area

26
Q

Viscosity

A

Capability of a solid to continually yield under stress with a measurable rate of deformation

27
Q

Plastic vs elastic deformation

A

Plastic: a stressed, formed, or molded tissue will PRESERVE its new shape
Elastic: a stressed, formed, or molded tissue will RECOVER its original shape

28
Q

Strain as a force effect

A

A change in shape as a result of stress

29
Q

Creep

A

The continued deformation of a viscoelastic material under constant load over time

30
Q

Hysteresis or stress-strain

A

A CT response to loading/unloading where restoration of final length occurs at rate and extent less than during deformation, representing energy loss in the CT
