Ch 15 wack a words Flashcards
a method of passively moving the body ot a body part towards its preference and away from pain
Posisiton release
this states that when a joint is injured the surrounding muscles contract to immobolize and protect the joints
Hilton’s law
When a TP forms due to sudden trauma like a fall, sprain , fracture etc
Single onset
a hyper irritable nodule associated with dysfunctional contractile tissue
Trigger point
This forms as a direct result of dysfunction of the primary TP and appear in the reffred pain area, antagonist or synergist muscles
Satellite TP
This state that a stimulus that activates non-nociceptive nerves can inhibit pain
( feelings if pleasure lesses sensations of pain)
Gate Control Theory
MET
Muscle energy tech
This has all the characteristics of an active TP but has a no familiarity with the pain or refered pain patterns
Laten TP
When a muscle acting on a joint is contracted the antagonist is inhibited
reciprocal inhibition
This person mapped out trigger point referred sensation into a publication
Janel Travelle and David Simons
An active or latent to that’s located near the middle of the muscle fibers and motor end plate
Central TP
an architectural term that refers to the integrity of a structure as being based in a synergy between balanced tensiona and compression
tensergrity
This can be active or passive with the goal of lengthening the involved tissue
stretching
This person developed and published papers on receprtor tonus technique
Nimmo and Vann Erson
The characteristic of certain materials to create and conduct an electrical current
Piezoelectricity
a term coined by Bonnie Pruden
myotherapy
Inflammation, ischemia, TP weakness, tension are all signs of what?
Dysfunction
This is used in areas where the muscle can be picked up between the thumb and fingers
pincer palpation
Uses active muscle contraction, relaxation, and passive stretching to reduce constrictions and ^ ROM
MET
Also known as TP pressure release where you apply digital pressure to the TP
Ischemic compression
This is connective tissue composed of fibers and cells suspended in a matrix of ground substance
Fascia
NMT was developed in the 30s by who?
Dr. Stanley Leif
This is a Healing system based on the body’s self correcting reflexes
ortho-bionomy
After an impulse has traveled thru a certain set of nerves futures impulses will use that same path
Law of fciliation
this states that the spinal cord reflexes can be initiated by pressure along the spine
Bells Law
This states that as soon as an isometric muscle contraction releases it relaxes
contract-relax
This technique was developed by Lawrence Jones and happened by accident
strain- counterstrain
PRT
Passive positioning therapy
This forms when the sarcomeres are stretched to capacity because of the formation of TP
Taut band
Following a isometric contraction, there a brie period of relaxation in which impulses are delayed
postisometric relax
When you perform a bilateral comparison while a client is in motion
gait analysis
When you do a bilateral comparison of a persons body while standing
posture assesment
These are located at the musculotendinous junction ot osseous attachment sites and often deactivated when the central TP is deactivaited
Attachment TP
maintaining or restoring the function capacity of the muscle and fascia system
myofascial mass
THe ability of a substance to soften as a result of warmpth pressure or manipulation
thixotrophy
This is done with the fingertips or thumb in the line with or perpendicularly across the muscle fibers
flat palpation
When a TP forms due to chronic overuse/ overload like poor posture, bad habits, emotional issues etc
Gradual onset
This can activate a secondary or satellite TP in another muscle
Primary key TP
The idea that Weak stimuli activate physiologic processes whereas strgin stimuli inhibits them is what?
Arndt-shultz law
a palprobe nodule located in a taut band and has definable sensations to referral areas
Active TP
NMT
Neuromuscluar Therapy
