LECTURE 1B: MANUAL THERAPY Flashcards
What are manual therapy techniques for?
*help with pain
*decrease restrictions
skilled passive/hand movements of joints/soft tissue that….
*help with ROM, tissue extensibility, relaxing, mobilization of soft tissue/joints, decrease swelling and inflammation
passive technique designed to restore full painless JOINT FUNCTION
using rhythmic, repetitive, passive movements
mobilization
accurately localized/globally applied single, quick, decisive movement of SMALL AMPLITUDE, following careful positioning of patient
manipulation
manually assisted method of stretching/mobilization where patient actively uses his/her muscles, on request, while maintaining targeted preposition against distinctly executed counterforce
muscle energy technique
passive technique that consists of rhythmic, repetitive passive movement to patient’s tolerance in voluntary and/or accessory ranges, performed with active movement of the patient at the same region
passive mobilization with an active movement
(ART, MWM)
what is a mobilization?
passive technique
rhythmic, repetitive movements
varied amplitudes
WITHIN PATIENT TOLERANCE
what is a manipulation?
passive technique
single, quick, decisive movements
small amplitude
careful patient set up, but *not always safe on patient
difference between mob and manip
- mob is rhythmic/repetitive vs. manip: single, quick/decisive movement
- mob: varied amp, manip: small amp
- mob: takes longer to reach goal of full ROM, manip: not always safe
What is the biomechanical/pathological method?
WORKS WELL FOR Surgical patients
1. biomechanical theories assess abnormalities
2. treatments target arthrokinematic principles
3. relationship btwn anatomy and pathology to determine whats wrong
What is the patient based response method of manual therapy?
- addresses pain repro and reduction with movement
- does not rely on biomechanical model for diagnosis
- rely on assessment findings to determine treatment
- treatment techniques are similar to assessment method (reproduce patient’s pain, then apply movement to increase ROM and/or decrease symptoms)
what is the hybrid method of manual therapy assessment?
use both biomechanical AND patient response
what are the 2 mechanical hypothesized effects of manual therapy?
- improved movement
- improved position
What are neurophysiological effects of manual therapy?
- ANS: HR, BP, skin conductance
- SC: inhibit pain receptors (non-localized effect on vitals and muscle relaxing)
- CNS: altered pain, inhibits mechanical nociception through gate control theory
- PNS: decreased inflammatory mediators at local site
- temporal: lasts 20-30 min-need to back up with exercises to maintain/improve motion and strength
- placebo
Reinforce manual therapy with exercises since gains only last how long?
20 min-48 hours
manipulation is a passive technique ___normal range of motion
mobilization is a passive technique or combined passive/active ___normal range of motion
manip: BEYOND
mob: WITHIN
active assisted technique within or beyond normal ROM
muscle energy technique
knee extension is a ___ end feel
hard capsular end feel
elbow extension is a ____ end feel
hard bony end feel
wrist flexion and finger flexion: ___ end feel
elastic (mm-tendon unit)
elbow flexion in muscle-y people end feel
soft tissue approximation
wrist flexion end feel
soft capsular
elbow flexion end feel in supination
medium capsular end feel
knee flexion/extension with displaced meniscus is what kind of end feel
springy
(rebounding intra-articular meniscus or disk)
hemarthrosis at knee is what kind of end feel?
boggy (viscous fluid within joint)
recent trauma, hypermobility, grade 2 muscle tears will result in what kind of end feel?
spasm!
reflex mm contraction due to nociceptor irritation
acute sub-deltoid bursitis or sign of buttock end feel
EMPTY PAIN
