AT final Flashcards
What are mechanoreceptors?
they are in our skin, joint, and muscles. they are also known as corpuscles, nerve ending, spindles and organs or apparatus.
Balance
static and dynamic
static
Doesn’t move
Dynamic
Moving
Vestibular system
Involves the inner ear
Oculomotor system
Balance is easies with eyes open
Proprioception
made up of agility, balance and coordination (ABC)
Contraindication for myofascial release and message
Acute infection, sutured wounds, and Fractures
Techniques in myofascial release
- J-stroke: Push down w/ 2 fingers
-oscillation: Back and forth
-wringing: pinching on opposite sides
-stripping : pression point - traction: slight pull
Techniques in messages
- effleurage: deep stroking
-petrissage: pinching
-friction: cross-fibers
-tapotement: “chopping”
trigger points
adhesion (lumps/ bump)
how to see the pp
-point tender and red
-Characterized by being hypoxia in nature
Parts of massage and their effects
Mechanical- deal adhesion, edema control flow
Neurological
relaxation of muscles from spasm: aids with the release od beta-endorphins
Physiological
increased blood flow ar least superficially
Psychological
Relaxation from stress
Massage
A swede names Peter Ling promoted massage as a medical technique
what’s the best way to identify trigger points?
Palpations
direct pressure
lying on a tennis ball, using a roller or using dry needling
Muscle energy
manual muscle technique involving controlled movement in a direction, w varying levels of intensity
PNF
Proprioceptive Neuro-Muscular Facilitation
- Use gain motion and flexibility
-strengthen
D1
Extension to flexion w adduction to abduction w internal rotation to external rotation
D2
Flexion to extension w abduction to adduction with ER to IR
Stretching w/ PNF
P427 Techniques- Hold Relax- contract- relax, Slow reversal- Hold- Relax
What is the core?
Surrounding muscle of the low back, pelvis and abdomen: make the cylinder, provide dynamic support and control
Major complaints of a weak core
Stiffness, pain, referred pain
When do we do a pelvic tilt
It should offer the least amount of stress in the lumbar spine
exercise that help w/ supine stabilization
Dead bug excercises
Superman to quadrant exercises
Hands and knee positions are great for stage II and Stage III healing and required the static hips and diaphragm recruitment.
Stage III
Planking, Bridging (can increases core strengthening)
McKenzie back exercise
6 inches, crunches
William Flexion exercise
Knee hugs
NAVEL vs. ASIS
alignment is a quick assessment of hip alignment
Joint Mobilization types and techniques
Manual Traction- done by clinician or patient
Joint mobes- glides, distraction, circumduction
Shoulder joints
Acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, scapularthoracic joints, glenohumeral joints
AAROM
Wand stretch sleeper, stretch, and rope and pulley
What is static support?
Doesn’t change, joint capsule
What is dynamic support?
Things that can support the shoulder, that can change
What is scapular plane?
30 degrees horizontal adduction
What is scaption
Motion in the scapular plane
What is a neutral position for the shoulder?
Below 25 degrees by your side
Sites for trigger points in the shoulder girdle and RC
-supraspinatus
-rhomboids
-levator scapulae
-upper trapezius
What is the difference between distraction and traction?
distraction is center force and traction is pulling
What is rhythmic stabilization
?
For every 2 parts of arms, your scapular over one
What is SITS?
Rotar cuff muscles
Posture has a chain
Hips to trunk: trunk to shoulders; Shoulder to neck
D1 and D2 patterns with a theraband, are they open or close?
OPEN
What are plyometrics?
exercises involving rapid stretching, and contracting the muscle
Intensity, volume, recovery, age, proprioceptors
How much resistance, in how much time you heal
Common equipments for plyometrics
Cones, dots, ladders, hurdles, steps, boxes, medicine balls
What is the symmetry model
apples to apples
Mechanoreceptors
Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner’s corpuscles, muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs.
