Board Review notes

Question 1

What is hysteresis (“stress strain”)?

Answer 1

During the loading and unloading of connective tissue, the restoration of the final length of the tissue occurs at a rate and to an extent less than during deformation (loading).

Question 2

What is creep?

Answer 2

the capacity of fascia and other tissues to lengthen when subjected to a constant tension load resulting in less resistance to a second load application

Question 3

What part of the UG system has PNS innervation by vagus, and which by the pelvic splanchnic?

Answer 3

Kidneys and upper ureter = vagus

Lower ureter and bladder = pelvic

Question 4

What is the PNS supply to the testes and ovaries?

Answer 4

Vagus (recall how they descend in development)

Question 5

What are the SNS spinal levels that innervate: The stomach to the ligament of treitz?

Answer 5

T5-T9

Question 6

What are the SNS spinal levels that innervate: the ligament of treitz to the splenic flexure?

Answer 6

T10-T11

Question 7

What are the SNS spinal levels that innervate: Splenic flexure to the rectum

Answer 7

T12-L2

Question 8

What are the 8 components of the plumb line?

Answer 8

1/ Posterior apex of coronal suture

2. External auditory meatus
3. Bodies of most cervical vertebrae
4. Shoulder joint
5. Bodies of lumbar vertebrae
6. Posterior to axis of hip joint
7. Anterior to axis of knee joint
8. Anterior to the lateral malleolus

Question 9

What is the axis about which the sacrum rotates when the left foot is in the stance phase of walking, and the right is in the swing phase?

Answer 9

Left oblique axis

Question 10

Which way does the lumbar spine side bend towards when the left foot is in the stance phase of walking?

Answer 10

Left

Question 11

When using s/cs, the closer you are to the midline in treating a tender point, which way do you move the affected body part?

Answer 11

more flexion / extension

Question 12

When using s/cs, the farther you are to the midline in treating a tender point, which way do you move the affected body part?

Answer 12

more sidebending / rotation

Question 13

What are the general steps of FPR?

Answer 13

• Assess motion
• Place in neutral and add compressive force
• Recheck

Question 14

What are the general steps of myofascial release?

Answer 14

• Move tissues to point of ease

- Hold until softening

Question 15

What is the general “pathophysiology” behind chapman’s points?

Answer 15

Increased SNS tone impairs lymphatic return, causing an area of congestion

Question 16

Does the pain with CPs radiate?

Answer 16

No

Question 17

Where is the chapman point for the eyes?

Answer 17

Lateral humerus

Question 18

Where is the chapman point for the esophagus?

Answer 18

Ribs 2 and 3

Question 19

Where is the chapman point for the stomach?

Answer 19

Between ribs 5-6 on the left

Question 20

Where is the chapman point for the liver and gallbladder?

Answer 20

Ribs 6-7

Question 21

Where is the chapman point for the spleen?

Answer 21

between ribs 7-8 on the left

Question 22

Where is the chapman point for the adrenals? (anterior and posterior)

Answer 22

• Anterior Point = 2 in. superior and 1 in. lateral to umbilicus
• Posterior Point = b/w SP and TP of T11 and T12

Question 23

What are the spinal levels that innervate the celiac, superior mesenteric, and inferior mesenteric respectfully?

Answer 23

• Celiac = T5-T9
• SMG = T10-T11
• IMG = T12-L2
