CMT1 Midterm Flashcards
Afferentation refers to the transmission of what nerves?
afferent nerve impulses
Deafferentation is defined as what?
the elimination or interruption of afferent nerve impulses, as by destruction of the afferent pathway
Because joint complex dysfunction is very rarely associated with peripheral nerve injury, it is not appropriate to use the word _______ ?
deafferentation
Dysafferentation refers to an increase in what and a reduction in what?
afferent input such that there is an increase in nociceptor input and a reduction in mechanoreceptor input
identify the manipulable lesion
using end feel, ROM
what can cause joint dysfunction?
Functional
Structural
Considerations
common cause of jt. dysfunction?
posture
What are the limits of using the diagnosis of subluxation or joint dysfunction syndrome?
it does not identify the cause…what is causing that Jt. dysfunction?
is it a contraindication?
Chiropractic theory of sublaxation?
why we do what we do and
Assisted method
segmental contact ON superior vertebra of Dysfunctional segment.
Motion of vector is superior vertebra Redative to Inferior vertebra
Resisted method
contact on the inferior vertebra
Motion in direction of malposition
which method, resisted or assisted applies a focus on the adjustive effect concerned with jt. Superior to level of segment contact
resisted
counter resisted method
is a mixture of resisted and assisted by contacting both upper and lower segments and thrust goes into opposite direction
vertebral subluxation complex consists of ?
jt. Malposition, fixation ,instability/hypermobility
Joint malposition
misalignment of the skeletal components, leading to movements limitations, inflammatory changes, irritations which can ultimately lead to firing of nociceptors
Joint hypomobility:
is a commonly proposed reason for joint fixation due to a periarticular soft tissue injury that results in fibrosis
Joint fixation can be due too?
interarticular blocks
interdiscal blocks
compressive buckling
interarticular blocks is when what happens?
when the derangement of the posterior joints result in the entrapments of the meniscoids or synovial fluid
interdiscal blocks are theorized to result from?
pathophysiological changes
Interdiscal blocks are when what happens?
derangements of the IVD result in dysfunction
compressive buckling is when?
asymmetric positioning of the vertebra that is due to the intrinsic muscles of the back
What does jt. pn. not discrimintae between?
hypomobility, hypermobility, and clinical instability
