Question 4

how many seconds should a stretch be held in older adults

Answer 4

60+ seconds, they need a longer stretch

Question 5

what is the purpose in soft tissue mobilization

break up adhesions & break up skin elasticity & increase venous return

Question 6

more flexed posture in LS traction helps target which part of the LS

Answer 6

upper or stenosis

Answer 9

contracture

Question 10

what’s the purpose of transverse or cross friction in STM

Answer 10

treating chronic tendon inflammation

Question 11

what’s the purpose of grade III joint mobilization

Answer 11

enhance ROM or increase joint play

Question 12

what are the physiological effects of soft tissue mobilization?

Answer 12

increased circulation & removal of waste products

injury to a contractile tissue would cause a limitation in

Answer 13

AROM - pain when muscles contract

Question 14

what is the primary technique used in mainland mobilization

Answer 14

oscillations

Question 15

T/F: traction helps joint mobility by mobilization of the specific joint segment that is involved

Answer 15

false

Question 16

which type of disc protrusion is a precaution for traction

Answer 16

medial - closer to the spinal cord

Question 17

the transient lengthening of tissues w application of a fixed load during a stretch is called

Answer 17

creep

Question 18

active mm contraction followed by mm relaxation, such as contract-relax, is an example of what type of stretching

Answer 18

PNF

Answer 23

30sec to 1 min

Question 24

spinal stenosis

Answer 24

flexion bias
knees bent w bolsters

Question 25

traction should be discontinued if

Answer 25

pain begins to increase
peripheralize pain
pain doesn’t improve 2-3 treatments
pain completely resolves
pain becomes numbness/weakness
