Q

There is a somato-visceral component fo somatic dysfunction, which was studied by Irvin Korr, PhD via pseudomotor (ANS) impact of SD. How did he confirm this?

A

More perspiration was found in areas with somatic dysfunction, indicating ANS activation in that area

16
Q

__________ is extreme tone such as with spastic paralysis

A

Hypertonicity

17
Q

______ is low tone, aka flaccid paralysis when there is no tone at all

A

Hypotonicity

18
Q

______ is a TTA term referring to normal tone of a muscle when it shortens or is activated against resistance

A

Contraction

19
Q

_______ is a TTA term referring to the abnormal shortening of a muscle due to fibrosis. Most often in the tissue itself, often result of chronic condition. Muscle is no longer able to reach its full normal length

A

Contracture

20
Q

_____ is a TTA term referring to abnormal contraction maintained beyond physiologic need. Most often sudden and involuntary muscular contraction that results in abnormal motion and is usually accompanied by pain and restriction of normal function

A

Spasm

21
Q

_____ is a TTA term referring hard, firm or cord-like muscle tone. Usually indicates a chronic condition

A

Ropiness

22
Q

_______ vascular tissue texture change might be indicated by inflamed vessel wall injury, endogenous peptide released

(Acute vs. chronic)

A

Acute

23
Q

______ sympathetic tissue texture change involves local vasoconstriction overpowered by local chemical release, net effect is vasodilation

(Acute vs. chronic)

A

Acute

24
Q

______ vascular tissue texture change involves sympathetic tone increases in vascular constriction

(Acute vs. chronic)

A

Chronic

25
Q

______ sympathetic tissue texture change involves vasoconstriction, hypersympathetic tone, and may be regional

(Acute vs. chronic)

A

Chronic

26
Q

______ muscle tissue texture change involves decreased muscle tone, flaccid, mushy, limited ROM due to contracture

(Acute vs. chronic)

A

Chronic

27
Q

______ muscle tissue texture change involves local increase in tone, muscle contraction, and spasm mediated by an increase in spindle activity

(Acute vs. chronic)

A

Acute

28
Q

______ ______ = limit of motion imposed by anatomic structure, the limit of passive motion

A

Anatomic barrier

29
Q

______ _____ = limit of active motion

A

Physiologic barrier

30
Q

_____ ______ = the range between physiologic and anatomic barrier in which passive stretching occurs before tissue disruption; aka the area that warms up with stretching

A

Elastic barrier

31
Q

_____ _____ = functional limit that abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range

A

Restrictive barrier

32
Q

What terminology for range of motion is in reference to a patient’s activity level?

A

AROM - patient initiated ROM, examiner visually observes

PROM - examiner initiated ROM with passive patient

PROM > AROM bc patient is relaxed

33
Q

What must you do when assessing PROM?

A

Block the linkage!

Stabilization of associated and adjacent structures to focus movement to only the joint(s) being assessed

34
Q

What is the term for the palpatory experience or perceived quality of motion when a joint is moved to its limit?

A

Barrier “end-feel”
