23
Q

Tensile strength of collagen

A

High tensile strength

Withstands 50% that of bone

24
Q

Where is collagen found?

A

Tendon, ligament, fascia, and capsules

25
Q

What is needed for efficient production of collagen?

A
  • Vitamin C (hydroxylation of proline)

- Regular stress

26
Q

What can impair collagen production?

A
  • Steroids

- Impaired within distribution of nerve impingements

27
Q

What type of collagen is treated with STM?

A

Type 1 collagen

28
Q

2 elements responsible for formation and health of connective tissues

A
  1. Fibroblasts

2. Ground substance

29
Q

Fibroblasts

A

most prolific of cellular elements, responsible for collagen synthesis

30
Q

Make up of collagen

A

proline + lysine + glysine = tropocollagen
Tropocollagen aligns and forms collagen
-Hydrostatic covalent bond

31
Q

Ground Substance

A

Non-fibrous element of connective tissue matrix

32
Q

Extracellular matrix of ground substance made by

A

fibroblasts

33
Q

Ground substance made of

A
  • Long changes of water and carbohydrates

- Carbs made of GAGs, proteoglycans, and collagen

34
Q

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) importance

A
  • important for STM
  • Composed of:
  • -non-sulfated hyaluronic acid (holds water/lubricates and prevents abnormal cross-links)
  • -chondroitin sulfates (determines cohesiveness, viscosity, and rigidity of tissues)
35
Q

Water component of ground substance

A

-Facilitates diffusion of metabolites, electrolytes, and gasses between cells and vascular/lymphatic systems

36
Q

How to keep connective tissues healthy

A

Frequent mobility of tissues to maintain normal lubrication and critical fiber distance

37
Q

Decreased mobility of ground substance related to

A
  • dehydration

- decreases with age, immobility, atrophy, trauma

38
Q

Macrophage

A

phagocytic action on bacteria, foreign bodies, damaged tissues, 2nd most numerous cell

39
Q

Lymphocytes and plasma cells

A

make antibodies

40
Q

Mast Cells

A

release histamine and serotonin - agents in inflammatory changes and heparine - anticoagulant

41
Q

Types of connective tissue

A

1 macrophage
2 lymphocytes and plasma cells
3 mast cells
4 fat cells

42
Q

Intermolecular cross-linking: immobilization

A

30-40% reduction in GAGs in ground substance leading to dehydration

43
Q

Effect of dehydration on critical fiber distance

A

Decreases critical fiber distance and lubrication between fibrous elements increasing resistance to movement

44
Q

Intermolecular cross linking may occur

A

Between fibers of functional intercept points, further limiting extensibility of tissues

45
Q

Body’s response to trauma, infection, or immobilization

A

Increased crosslinks, decreased tissue extensibility

46
Q

Inflammatory stages

A

-Leukocytes and macrophages begin phagocytic action against bacteria

47
Q

Fibrogenesis stage

A

Fibroblasts proliferate and begin this stage, begins process of scar tissue formation and healing

48
Q

No motion in reparative process may produce…

A

Non-neoplastic fibrous tissue that is immobile and restrictive

49
Q

Days 3-21

A

High scar tissue production

50
Q

Weeks 6-8

A

poor tensile strength

51
Q

Week 14

A

poor scar elongation

52
Q

A

90-100% of tensile strength returns

53
Q

Possible reasons for pain/injury/inflammation related to soft tissue mobility

A
  • Intermolecular cross linking
  • Scar tissue adhesions
  • Ground substance dehydration
  • Lymphatic stasis
  • Neuroreflexive causes
  • Electrochemical causes
54
Q

Possible causes for improved mobility following STM

A
  • Mechanical: breaking of cross links
  • Mechanical: alteration of scar tissue matrix
  • Viscoelastic: mechanical elongation of collagen tissue
  • Hydration: redistribution of interstitial fluids
  • Stimulation of GAG synthesis, reinstatement of normal lubrication and hydration, neuroreflexive changes, electrochemical changes
55
Q

Precautions and contraindications to STM

A

New scar, fragile skin, active inflammatory response, open wound, malignancy, active infection, obstructive edema, aneurysm, acute RA, osteomyelitis, advanced osteoporosis, advanced diabetes, fibromyalgia during exacerbation, fracture
