Introduction to BLT, Still's and FPR OMT Techniques

Question 1

INR, ST, MET, and some MFR are all wha type of techniques

Answer 1

direct techniques

Question 2

Still and some MFR are what type of techniques are

Answer 2

combination of direct and indirect

Question 3

INT, BLT, LAS, FPR and some MFR are all what kind of techniques

Answer 3

indirect

Question 4

the _____ provide proprioceptive information that guides the muscle responses for positioning the joint, and the ligaments themselves guide the motion of the articualr component

Answer 4

ligaments

Question 5

in BLT, all the treatment positions take place at

Answer 5

shifted neutral

Question 6

indications of BLT

Answer 6

somatic dysfunctions of an articular basis
somatic dysfunction of a mysofascial basis
areas of lymphatic congestion or local edema

Question 7

relative contraindications of BLT

Answer 7

fracture, dislocation, or gross instability in area to be treated
malignancy, infection, or severe osteoporosis in area to be treated

Question 8

object of this treatment is to balance the articular surfaces or tissues in the directions of physiologic motion common to that articulation

Answer 8

BLT

Question 9

During BLT, it is common to use an activating source such as

Answer 9

respiration - a respiratory phase that enhances ease it utilized until air hunger is achieved

Question 10

a system of indirect myofascial release treatment. the component region of the body is placed into a neutral position, diminishing tissue and joint tension in all planes and an activating force (compression or torsion) is added

Answer 10

Facilitated positional release

Question 11

advantages of FPR include

Answer 11

easily applied, effective, and time efficient
good patient satisfaction - patients often report immediate relief of tension/tenderness and restoration of function
Thorough: can repeat application prn

Question 12

indications of FPR

Answer 12

somatic dysfunction in virtually all tissues of the body, including:
cranium, spine, sacrum, pelvis, limbs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and viscera

Question 13

contraindications to FPR

Answer 13

not advisable across recent wounds (surgical or otherwise) or fractures less than 6 weeks old

Question 14

somatic dysfunction is initiated or maintained by increased activity in the _____ motor neurons of the muscles of the particular segment

Answer 14

gamma

Question 15

gamma motor system stimulates muscle spindles in somatic dysfunction, increasing _____ in that muscle and altering _______ ______

Answer 15

increasing tension

altering neutral position

Question 16

positioning of muscle in neutral position results in:
Inverse spindle output, which eliminates the afferent excitatory input to the spinal cord through the Group __ and ___ fibers | unloads the joint, which enables a rapid response to 3-plane therapeutic position

Answer 16

group 1a and II fibers

Question 17

before applying the activating force of FPR, it is necessary to

Answer 17

neutralize the sagittal plane curves (lordosis/kyphosis)

Question 18

stills position starts in ______ ____ and ends at

Answer 18

shifted neutral and ends at anatomical barrier (through RB)

Question 19

advantages to stills technique

Answer 19

easily applied, effective and time efficient
good patient satisfaction (immediate relief/restoratino of function)
Thorough - time efficient so you can treat again

Question 20

indications for stills

Answer 20

somatic dysfucntion in veritually all tissues of the body including: cranium, spine, sacrum, pelvis, limbs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and viscera

Question 21

contraindications for stills

Answer 21

not advisable across recent wounds (surgical or otherwise) or fractures less than 6 weeks old

Question 22

initial treatment for stills

Answer 22

position of ease

Question 23

before moving through the restrictive barrier in stills, it is necessary to

Answer 23

add a localizing force < 5lb compression/traction
