exam 3 Flashcards
dynamic process which body position maintained in equilibrium
balance
at rest
static
steady state of motion (surface/ person)
dynamic
COM / COG is maintain over BOS
corresponds to center of total body mass is point where body is in equilibrium
center of mass
vertical projection of COM to ground
anterior to S2
55% person height
Center of gravity
base of support is perimeter of contact area between body & support surface
wider stance/ increase stability
narrow stance / decrease stability
wide stance can increase rate of falling- need good posture
limits of stability LOS
sway of boundaries in which individual can maintain equilibrium w/o change BOS
sensory processes are
visual
vestibular
somatosensory (proprioception)
sensorimotor intergration
motor response
adaptive / anticipatory of posture control
motor- Conscious- plan program excute balance response
sensation (GTO MSF) mechanorecptors
touch pressure vibration
contextual / environment
closed predictable - no distractions
open predictable - distractions
support surface
firm vs slippery stable vs unstable
lighting , task - new or learned
visual
- position of head to environment
-orientation of head to maintain gaze level
-direction/ speed of head
somatosensory
- muscle spindle
muscle length (joint position sense)
GTO muscle tension
joint receptors (muscle tone, stiff, posture adjustment)
skin receptors
balance control is visual , vestibular, sensation
Vestibular SCCs
-semicircular canals
angular/ rotatory accerelation- fast head movement
* head tilts, motion sick bc body going faster than inner ears can keep up
-otoliths (utricle/ saccule)
linear acceleration- slow head movement
*linear - treadmill , walk pad
* vertical - diving board
neuropathy- can’t feel sensation in feet , systems can compensate
Vestibulospinal reflex- compensates tilts
vestibulospinal tract- inner ear
helps body adjust for any tilts / changes in posture that body needs
keeps body upright
vestibulcular reflex : keep eye stabilize
stabilize head during movements from vestibular nuclei
*keep object in focus
fast to slow is
somatosensory
visual
vestibular
CNS- turns off / suppress inaccurate input
*selects / combines appropriate sensory input from other 2 systems
automatic postural reaction
- change in position , need to respond
activation of postural muscles in perform skill movement
- reach high cup off shelf
have to get on toes
anticipatory balance
movement occur too fast to rely on sensory feedback
*lose balance before fall
reactive
infancy some reflexes will intergrate / go away or stay with us
pre program
CNS to regain balance after body is perturbed
- reflex (muscle contract, independent)
stretch reflex 1st response <70ms and same response everytime - autonomic postural reaction
80-120 ms 1st response to falls - Voluntary movement
80-120ms longest latency , dependent
produce higher variables , motor outputs (reach for stable support )
ankle - distal to proximal
forward- gastro/ hamstring
backward- ant tib/ quad/ abs
hip flex
forward- quad/abs
backward- hamstring
stepping * to catch yourself
Weight shift- Lateral either side to accommodate
- abductors and adductors
suspension - during balance task
get lower to lower COM
flex knee- flex hip, ankles
combine w ankle / weight shift
sensory input impairment - neuropathies, ankle sprain, lack of joint awareness
sensory processing defects- visual loss, peripheral vision
bio mechanical/ motor deficits- posture aging meds
reach to touch, catch lift
anticipatory
unexpected perturbation, sway
reactive
reduce visual / somatosensory cues
sensory
stairs specific is Functional
gait locomotion balance is for
safety
Tell patient to look at external focus for attention while balancing
DLS- double limb support
Eyes open / eyes close
SLS- single limb support
Eyes open/ eyes close
tandem walk- feet have to touch, narrow , anterior to posterior
perturbation- gait belt: back up
proprioception - stable vs unstable
vestibular
static vs dynamic
use strength / speed to increase Power
plyometrics
stretch shortening drill
high velocity eccentric to concentric activation
Plyometrics
time beteeen stretch and shortening should be quick is
Amortization phase
*eccentric to concentric
Work produced by muscle per unit of time
power
more intense, less time= more
power
taking up elasticity energy to create force to move us it enhances
physical performance / decrease injury
easy- difficult
slower progress w rest in between sessions
plyometrics be high function, no injuries
48-72 hrs between plyometrics
eccentric to concentric is doms
usually 6 different activities and change Reps/ time
for 2x 8/10 weeks
cartilage between bodies and disc
intervertebral disc
synovial joints between superior / inferior articular process
zygopophyseal
DJD in common in ____ joints
zygopophyseal/ facet / synovial
most anterior ligament
hyperextend injury
anterior longitduinal
posterior to anterior longitudinal
posterior longitudinal
intervertebral process
ligamentum flavum
in between transverse processes
intertransverse ligament
most posterior
whiplash
- ligamentum nuchae
supraspinous
two structures in intervertebral disc
annulus fibrosis
nucleus pulposus
annulus fibrosis- collage rings, compress/ shear forces
nucleus pulposus- fluid filled
Plumb line:
head- COG anterior to AO joint
trunk- LOG through Cervical/ Lumbar vertebrae
hip- LOG posteoor to hip joint, through greater trochanter
knee- LOG anterior
ankle- LOG anterior
without trunk stabilizing muscles then the spine would ____
collapse
superficial muscles are
global
deep muscles are
core
cross segments
help produce motion: provide guy wire function
Compress load with strong contact
Global
Global:
lumbar- rectus abd. obliques. QL. erector spinae. iliopsoas
cervical-SCM. levator scap. scalene. upper trap. erector spinae
attach to each vertebrae segment
control segmental motion
segmental guy wire
greater % of type 1 muscle fiber for endurance
Core
Core:
lumbar- transverse abd. multifudus. QL. deep rotators

Structural scoliosis
reversible , diminishes w postural changes. stretch concave . strengthen convex . stand tall, pull umbilical towards spine
functional / postural
convex -
concave -
strengthen
stretch
sitting bending forward w weight - 185+
- sitting picking up load is worst pressure
HNP L4-L5 Posterior Lateral
slipped disc - does not slip out, just pushed in certain direction
nucleus bulges against intact annulus fibrosis
protrusion
hernation; jelly pushing out against annulus within PLL
extrusion
hernation; jelly going into spinal canal, leaking
Sequestration
long term flexed posture
sustain loading of joint/ disc/ ligament
disc pressure increases - fluid movement
cannot move back into ext bc can cause injury
Fluid Stasis
narrowing of spinal canal (central stenosis)
nerve root canal or forman (lateral stenosis)
congenital / acquired
caused by soft tissue structure / fibrotic scars
ext motions increase symptoms
spinal stenosis

results in quadriplegic
acute strains/ sprains- Whiplash (extreme flex / ext)
compression of nerve root with numb, tingling, pain in UE
disc hernation / spondylosis
peripheral pain/ cervical scap pain
reduce pain / swell, control muscle spasm, centralize symptom
