Q

Opposing translation of two body parts

26
Q

Any recoverable deformation

A

Elastic deformation

27
Q

Property of a material or structure that returns it to its original form following the removal of the deforming load

A

Elasticity

28
Q

Nonrecoverable deformation

A

Plastic deformation

29
Q

Property of a material to permanently deform when it is loaded beyond its elastic range

A

Plasticity

30
Q

Property of returning to the former shape or size after distortion

A

Resilience

31
Q

Property of a material showing sensitivity to the rate of loading or deformation, two basic components are viscosity & elasticity. Slowly deforms, slowly reforms

A

Viscoelasticity

32
Q

Property of materials to resist loads that produce shear. Strain delay

33
Q

Balance of compression & tensile forces on connective tissue

A

Tensegrity

34
Q

Increase epiphyseal plate pressure = decreased growth

Decreased epiphyseal plate pressure = increased growth

A

Heuter Volkman

35
Q

Bone (structure) responds to stress (function)

36
Q

Soft tissue responds to stress

A

Davis’ law

37
Q

A nerve which supplies a joint, supplies the muscle, skin, & tissue around it (axoplasmic aberration)

A

Hilton’s law

38
Q

Pain threshold, pain managment

39
Q

Nitrogen release during adjustment (joint capsule seal)

A

Cavitation

40
Q

Skin rolling over spine for dx & tx

41
Q

Prox. neurological irritation causing peripheral neuropathies

A

Double Crush

42
Q

CNS remapping, reorganizing, & brain expansion. PNS synapse (?)

A

Neuroplasticity

43
Q

Opiates from peri-aqueductal grey descend to bathe dorsal horn & reduce incoming pain messages

A

Descending inhibition

44
Q

Facilitation d/t acute nerve compression bombardment of dorsal horn, “endogenous opiates” (PAG) release shakes off pain for body to respond to immediate threat

A

Descending modulation

45
Q

Gate control theory (Wall’s), fast conducting proprioceptor & mechanoreceptor messages close the gate of slow pain receptors to CNS

A

Inhibiting system

46
Q

Distraction principle such as: rubbing elbow, TENS unit. Proprioception is faster than nociception

A

Afferent inhibition

47
Q

Deep joint, thin, myelinate A-beta fibers

A

Group III nociceptors

48
Q

Deep joint, unmyelinated, C fibers

A

Group IV nociceptors

49
Q

Functional disturbance of pain pathway

A

Neuropathic pain

50
Q

Reversible inappropriate neurological response to environment, errors in = errors out (safety pin cycle gone bad)

A

Dysponesis

51
Q

Pain d/t stimulus which doesn’t normally provoke pain

52
Q

Pressure on nerve (direct or indirect)

A

Neurothlipsis

53
Q

Autoimmune attack on C1 transverse ligs (adjustments help)

A

Grisel syndrome

54
Q

Distorted or impaired voluntary movement

A

Dyskinesia

55
Q

Impairment of viscera d/t nervous system, can by measured by skin temp. differentiation

A

Dysautonomia

56
Q

Neuropathic, radicular, deep pain, even felt on skin, but long lasting

A

Deep nociception

57
Q

Fast, quick, short bursts of pain, not recognized in long standing conditions

A

Cutaneous nociception

58
Q

Simultaneous pain in structures innervated by shared spinal segment

A

Referred pain

59
Q

Brain interprets pain from multiple tissues. Rationale for referred pain, such as cervicogenic headache

A

Central convergence projection

60
Q

Transection of nerve causing multiple synapse recovery

A

Traumatic neuroma

61
Q

Chronic instability resulting in mechanoreceptors morphing into nociceptors. When the injury has healed & motion is restored, the pain will subside b/c nociceptors revert back to proprioceptors

A

Wide dynamic receiver (WDR)

62
Q

What are autocoids?

A

Chemical mediators released by connective tissue that cause pain, joint morphology, & decrease motion
