Q

Describe soft tissue techniques used to treat myofascial restrictions
-Types of techniques-Effleurage, petrissage, tapotement?

A

Lymphatic techniques

20
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

-Stretch and kneading?

A
  • Slow, do not “surprise” muscles or tissues
  • Not too much
  • Causes realignment of collagenous fibers, lengthening of muscle fibers
  • Helps move fluids
21
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

-Pressure?

A
  • Moves fluids
  • May cause reflex inhibition of nociceptive inputs
  • May cause golgi tendon organ inhibition of muscle activity
22
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

-Lymphatic techniques?

A
  • Increases circulations via vibrations, stroking of tissues

- Increases extracellular fluid movement

23
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

-Myofascial release technique-Designed to?

A

-Designed to stretch and reflexively release patterned soft tissue related restrictions

24
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

-Myofascial release technique-Goals?

A
  • Assess and modify maladaptive patterns

- Search out tight and loose “end-feels”

25
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

  • Myofascial release technique-Goals:
    • Search out tight and loose “end-feels”-dynamic barriers?
A

-Soft tissue/bony impediment to INHERENT motion

26
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

  • Myofascial release technique-Goals:
    • Search out tight and loose “end-feels”-static barriers?
A

-Soft tissue/bony impediment to PASSIVE motion

27
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

  • Myofascial release technique-Goals:
    • Search out tight and loose “end-feels”-direct treatments?
A
  • Define areas of tightness by holding tissue firmly into barrier of restriction
  • Wait for tissue release (tissue CREEP)
  • Art lies in being able to follow tissue response as release begins
28
Q

Underlying principles of soft tissue

  • Myofascial release technique-Goals:
    • Search out tight and loose “end-feels”-Indirect treatments?
A
  • Move the tissue in 3 dimensions 180 degrees from restrictive barrier
  • Subtle release of tissue
  • Art lies in being able to keep the tissues in a “loose” fashion while the body “unwinds”
29

Describe the compensatory patterns observed by J. Gordon Zink

  • Areas of?
  • Examples?
A
  • Areas of restriction frequently at transition zones

- Examples-OA, cervicothoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbosacral

30
Q

Describe the compensatory patterns observed by J. Gordon Zink

31
Q

Describe the compensatory patterns observed by J. Gordon Zink
-Compensated patterns?

A
  • Common (LRLR)

- Uncommon (RLRL)

32
Q

Describe the compensatory patterns observed by J. Gordon Zink
-Uncompensated?

A
  • No alteration in pattern, or incomplete alterations
  • Trauma, slow injury recovery, illness

Tissue is laid upon lines of stress

35
Q

Hook’s Law

A

Amount of deformation (i.e. strain) is dependent on the amount of stress (force) applied

Q

Newton’s Third Law

A

Force exerted by one object is equal in magnitude to the opposite force exerted by a second object

37
Q

Stress

A

Force normalized over an area on which it acts

38
Q

Strain

A

Change in shape (deformation) as a result of stress

39

Creep

A

Continual deformation of viscoelastic material with time under constant load

43
Q
