how to properly eval patient?
ROM
normal functional anatomy
manual skills for muscle, tendon, and joint landmarks
ID trigger point spasms that reproduce patients painful symptoms
ID which trigger point spasms are limiting motion
direction of muscle fibers and multidirectional
manual therapy
direct pressure for 15 to 30 seconds or longer
trigger point release
fiber length stretching in opposite directions 15 to 30 seconds, surface to 1 cm deep
myofascial release
surface rub or stretch at 90 degrees to muscle direction to open channels within muscle for drainage
cross fiber tension release
contract and pause normal direct of muscle function
muscle activation technique
when patient creates force and then lets go and physician increases force across length of muscle or joint
contract release
how to give a peroneal tendon injection?
peroneus muscle trigger point injections with ABCs
stretch exercises and strengthening of quads and hamstring
then give peroneal tendon injection
how to give FDL and TPL tendon injections?
flexor digitorum and tibialis posterior trigger point injections with ABCs exercises of quads and hamstrings
electrical stimulation mimics chemical trigger point interruption and can be done by patient at home, along with self treating trigger point releases with a theracane and home exercise plan, what is this device?
