definition and classification of manual therapies

Question 1

manual therapy

Answer 1

• therapeutic application of manual force

- procedures w/r hands directly contact body to treat articulations and/or soft t.

Question 2

spinal manual (manipulative) therapy

Answer 2

therapeutic application of manual force

-procedures w/r hands directly contact body to treat articulations and/or soft t. of the spine

Question 3

joint manipulation

Answer 3

manual procedure involves directed thrust to move joint past the physiological ROM w/out exceeding anatomical limit

Question 4

difference b/w manual therapy and spinal manual therapy?

Answer 4

spinal manual therapy will incorporate joint manipulation

Question 5

limitations to the term joint manipulation

Answer 5

• limits manipulation to thrust procedures

- limits joint manipulation to moving joint past physiologic range

Question 6

substitute joint thrust manipulation when it is associated with…

Answer 6

high velocity low amplitude thrust (HVLA)

Question 7

common procedures to influence joint and neurophysiological function

Answer 7

chiropractic therapeutic procedures that:
utilize controlled force, leverage, direction,amplitude and velocity
which are directed at joints or anatomical regions

Question 8

limitations of term, adjustmnet

Answer 8

• covers wide range of manual therapy procedures (mobilization, massage, etc.)
• not limited to joints

Question 9

chiropractic adjustment

Answer 9

specific form of long and short-lever techniques w/ specific contacts.
characterized as dynamic thrust of controlled velocity, amplitude and direction

Question 10

chiropractic adjustment features

Answer 10

• thrust (ballistic force

- applied to joint

Question 11

limitation of term, chiropractic adjustments

Answer 11

• to limiting

- number of chiro. procedures not classified as adjustments (limit reimbursement)

Question 12

Classification of adjustments

Answer 12

• manual vs instrument
• HVLA
• leverage (direct, semidirct, indirect)
• patient position,anatomical reign, contact points

Question 13

mobilization

Answer 13

movement applied singularly or repetitively w/in or at physiological rang of joint motion, w/out imparting thrust/impulse, with goal of restoring joint mobility.

Question 14

can mobilization produce cavitation?

Answer 14

yes, deep mobilization into paraphysiologic space can produce a cavitation

Question 15

manipulation applied w/in physiologic range

Answer 15

movement w/in joints anatomical limit

Question 16

manipulation applied w/in physiologic range of joint motion characteristics

Answer 16

non-thrust passive joint manipulation of graded force

Question 17

motion assisted adjustments (or mobilization)

Answer 17

use mechanical motorized table, for prepositioning/counter resistance during app. of adjustment/mobilization
(any adjusting method)

Question 18

cox technique

Answer 18

flexion distraction adjustment

Question 19

Mckenzie tequnique

Answer 19

lumbar ROM exercise and mobilization (extension)

Question 20

muscle energy techniques

Answer 20

incorporates patients muscular effort in application procedure.

Question 21

soft t. manipulative procedures

Answer 21

hands used to massage, traction, mobilize, manipulate or stimulate soft t. of the body

Question 22

massage

Answer 22

• effleurage
• petrissage
• friction

Question 23

point pressure

Answer 23

• nimmo
• ischemic compression
• acupressure

Question 24

functional techniques

Answer 24

• –strain/conterstrain
• myofascial release
• ART/pin and stretch
