8/23 review exam 3 Flashcards
which are precautions for joint mobilizations
bone disease
malignancy
extreme/unchanging pain
which STM techniques require lubricant
effleurage
petrissage
what % of BW is needed to distract LS in facet joints
50lbs or 50% of BW
how many seconds should a stretch be held in older adults
60+ seconds, they need a longer stretch
what is the purpose in soft tissue mobilization
break up adhesions & break up skin elasticity & increase venous return
more flexed posture in LS traction helps target which part of the LS
upper or stenosis
T/F: redness after STM is abnormal & should be reported to the PT
false, normal bc of friction & increased blood flow
what’s the purpose of grade 1 joint mob
decrease pain
what’s the terminology for soft tissue shortening d/t external immobilization or disuse?
contracture
what’s the purpose of transverse or cross friction in STM
treating chronic tendon inflammation
what’s the purpose of grade III joint mobilization
enhance ROM or increase joint play
what are the physiological effects of soft tissue mobilization?
increased circulation & removal of waste products
injury to a contractile tissue would cause a limitation in
AROM - pain when muscles contract
what is the primary technique used in mainland mobilization
oscillations
T/F: traction helps joint mobility by mobilization of the specific joint segment that is involved
false
which type of disc protrusion is a precaution for traction
medial - closer to the spinal cord
the transient lengthening of tissues w application of a fixed load during a stretch is called
creep
active mm contraction followed by mm relaxation, such as contract-relax, is an example of what type of stretching
PNF
what are the contraindications of soft tissue mobilization
blood clots & cellulitis
acute inflammation & cancer
skin infection & cancer
What is the purpose of tapotement/percussion in soft tissue mobilization
stimulate subcutaneous structure
select the appropriate parameters of LS spasm
25% of BW
5/5
20-30 min
which 2 tasks occur during reciprocal inhibition?
stimulation of agonist mm
inhibition of antagonist mm
how long should 1 bout of joint mobilization be performed for?
30sec to 1 min
spinal stenosis
flexion bias
knees bent w bolsters
