Exam 2 Flashcards

1
Q

Concepts of selective tissue tension:

A
  1. pain from soft tissue lesions is provoked by the application of a tensile load
  2. The use of AROM, painful arc, PROM and resisted testing to provide tension
  3. positive test: provocate or alter the symptoms
  4. negative tests as important as positive

Q

contractile tissue lesion will be provoked by:
