FPR and Still Flashcards
________ was the PCOM alumnus who developed the facilitated positional release technique.
Stanley Schiowitz
FPR is an ________ technique with the patient remaining ________ throughout.
Indirect, passive
FPR is best utilized for ________ somatic dysfunction, although Schiowitz claims it can also be used for abnormal ________.
Articular, muscle tension
A few of the contraindications to FPR are ________, ________, ________, ________, ________, and ________.
Joint instability, herniated disc, intervertebral foraminal stenosis, severe sprains/strains, congenital anomalies, vertebrobasilar insufficiency
The first step of FPR is to ________.
Flatten the curve (put into neutral)
The second step of FPR is to apply an ________. This can be ________ or ________.
Activating force, compression (usually), traction (rarely)
The true facilitation of FPR comes at the end with a on and off ________ or “jiggle”. This last step was initially withheld by Schiowitz.
Articulatory motion
The activation position in FPR is held for ________ and then a very quick oscillating movement is added (the true facilitation).
3-5 seconds
Even when a somatic dysfunction in the cervical region is extended, the cervical lordosis still needs to be _______ in order to reach neutral when utilizing FPR.
Flexed
________ rediscovered Still’s techniques and revamped them.
Richard L. Van Buskirk
The first step of Still technique is to put the joint into its ________.
Ease
The second step of Still technique is to apply a ________ force at a right angle to the plane of restriction.
Compressive
The final step of Still technique consists of taking the joint through an ________ of motion to where the restriction barrier had been.
Arc
In Still technique, It is common for the dysfunction to be corrected ________ meeting the barrier.
Before
In Still technique, the patients limbs are used as ________ for articulation and for introduction of a compressive force.
Levers
