Q

what are the general principles behind articulatory technique

A

patient relaxed
use body weight to apply force
engage restrictive barrier
gentle firm pressure against restrictive barrier to carry body past point of restriction
maintain for 1-2 seconds
retreat barrier 1-2 seconds to release stretch
re-engage restrictive barrier
repeat until restriction reaches plateau or full physio motion obtained

20
Q

what causes joint restriction

A

increased efferent gamma gain in muscles involved with joint

21
Q

When is FPR indicated

A

absence SD
hip prosthetic
shoulder pathology
acute or chronic joint dislocation or separation
recent trauma
acute fracture
24
Q

what is High Velocity Low Amplitude

A

direct technique that employs rapid, localized and corrective force that travels a short distance within anatomic range of motion and engages restrictive barrier in one or more planes

29
Q

what are the principles for treatment with lymphatic techniqe

A

removing barriers to flow
enhancing mechanisms involved iwth respiratory-criculatory homeostasis
extrinsically augmenting lymph flow and other immune system elements
mobilizing lymph fluid fron other regions to decrease congestion

30

33
Q

is MET direct or indirect

A

direct

34
Q

what is the physiologic goal of MET

A

gamma gain

35
Q

what is isometric MET

A

counterforces of patient and doctor equal each other and no length change is permitted by muscle

36
Q

what is isotonic MET

A

muscle length changes during treatment
can be concentric(muscle contracts)
eccentric(passive lengthening) or isolytic (forced lengthening of shortened fibotic muscles
