23
Q

A technique in which the body area is grasped and shaken in a quick, loose movement; sometimes classified as a rhythmic mobilization.

A

Shaking

24
Q

Rhythmic movement of the body.

A

Rocking

25
Q

(Percussion) Springy blows to the body at a fast rate to create rhythmic compression of the tissue.

A

Tapotement

26
Q

The movement of the joint through its normal ROM.

A

Joint movement

27
Q

The movements of flexion, extension, abduction, addiction, and rotation; aka physiologic movements.

A

Osteokinematic movements

28
Q

Accessory movements that occur as a result of inherent laxity or joint play that exists in each joint.

A

Arthrokinematic movement

29
Q

The inherent laxity present in a joint.

A

Joint play

30
Q

An atomic structures determined by the shape and fit of the bones at the joint.

A

Anatomic barriers

31
Q

The result of the limits in ROM imposed by productive nerve and sensory functions to support optimum performance.

A

Physiologic barriers

32
Q

An adaptation of the physiologic barrier that allows the productive function to limit rather than support optimal functioning.

A

Pathological barriers

33
Q

The sensation felt when a normal joint is taken to its physiological limit (see and feel).

A

Joint end feel

34
Q

Movement of a joint through its ROM by the client.

A

Active joint movement

35
Q

Movement of a joint by the massage practitioner without the assistance of the client.

A

Passive joint movement

36
Q

Movement of a joint in which both the client and the therapist produce the movement.

A

Active assisted movement

37
Q

Movement of a joint by the client against resistance provided by the therapist.

A

Active resistive movement

38
Q

(Neuromuscular facilitation) specific use of active contraction in individual muscles or groups of muscles to initiate a relaxation response; activation of the proprioceptors to facilitate muscle tone, relaxation, and stretching.

A

Muscle energy techniques

39
Q

The position the body assumes with postural changes and muscle shortening or weakening, depending on how it has balanced against gravity.

A

Direction of ease

40
Q

The state that occurs after isometric contraction of a muscle; it results from the activity of minute neural reporting stations called the Golgi tendon bodies.

A

Postisometric relaxation (PIR)

41
Q

The effect that occurs when a muscle contracts, obliging its antagonist to relax to allow normal movement.

A

Reciprocal inhibition (RI)

42
Q

The process in which the muscle assumes a normal resting length by means of the neuromuscular mechanism.

A

Lengthening

43
Q

Mechanical tension applied to lengthen the myofascial unit (muscles and fascia); two types are longitudinal and cross-directional.

A

Stretching

44
Q

The muscle or groups of muscles on which the response of the methods is specifically focused.

A

Target muscle

45
Q

A contraction in which the effort of the target muscle or groups of muscles is partly matched by counterpressure, allowing a degree of resisted movement.

A

Isontonic contraction

46
Q

Application of a counterforce by the massage therapist while allowing the client to move, which brings the origin and insertion of the target muscle together against the pressure.

A

Concentric isontonic contraction

47
Q

Application of a counterforce while the client moved the jointed area, which allows the origin and insertion of the muscle to separate. The muscle lengthens against the pressure.

A

Eccentric isontonic action

48
Q

Movements of joint and associated muscles by the client through a full ROM against partial resistance applied by the massage therapist.

A

Multiple isotonic contractions

49
Q

The first point of resistance short of the client’s perceiving any discomfort at the physiologic or pathological barrier.

A

Comfort barrier

50
Q

Involve engaging the comfort barrier and using minute, resisted contractions (20 in 10 seconds), which introduces mechanical pumping in addition to post instruct relaxation or reciprocal inhibition.

A

Pulsed muscle energy procedures

51
Q

The technique of pushing muscle fibers together in the belly of the muscle.

A

Approximation

52
Q

The use of tender points to guide the positioning of the body into space where the muscle tension can release on its own.

A

Strain/ counter-strain

53
Q

Method of moving the body into the direction of ease; the proprioception is taken into a state of safety and may stop signaling for protective spasming.

A

Positional release technique (PRI)

54
Q

Movement of a joint in a which the therapist effects the motion.

A

Passive ROM

55
Q

Form of petrissage that lifts the skin.

A

Skin rolling
