BLT definition
Load tissue of the affected ligaments in a position so where tension is equal in all planes, so the bodies inherent forces can fix the SD
BLT is described as a _____ _________ tx method
indirect passive
BLT says that since it is the ________ that are involved in maintaining a lesion, it is they, not muscles that are the main agency for reduction… point of balanced tension
ligaments
BLT indications (2)
SDs that involve
1. ligamentous articular strains
2. Lymphatic congestion/ edema
BLT relative contraindications
- fxs
- open wounds
- soft tissue or bony infections
- absesses
- DVT
- anticoagulation, disseminated or focal neoplasm
- post-op on site of tx
- aortic aneurisms
What does BLT/LAS say about direct techniques
if you articulate back and away from the lesion, it can strain the ligaments that are normal.
If force is used, you can seperate fibers from the ligaments and bony attachments
BLT says that the type of motion that occurs at any given articulation is determined by what?
- shape of joint surfaces
- position of ligaments
- forces of muscle on that joint
BLT says that the differences between ligaments and muscles
L do not stretch and contract like muscles do.
thus, tension in Ligaments has little varioation
BLT says that tension t/o the ligament of any joint is _____.
When moving, as you move your joint, the relationship between the ligament changes, but total tension in the ligamentous articular mechanism _________
BALANCED.
DOES NOT.
what biochemical changes occur before immobilization ,according to BLT
Fibrofatty infiltrates were found in capsular folds.
The longer the joint was immobilized, the more infiltration. Ground substance lost water and glycoaminoglycans.
Maintaing the interfiber distance for smooth movement requires collagen fiber lubrication. Whe not, microadhesions are form and collegen is deposited in a bad manner.
• Immobilization for >12 weeks resulted in an ___________
overall loss of collagen since rate of degradiation > rate of synthesis
