manipulatio nand mobilization Flashcards
what can be used to explain joint dysfunction?
biomechanical principles
What can be explained by combining biomechanical info with neurophysiology?
the role of joint dysfucntion in pain and altered physiological function
What are the two bimechanical approaches to joint assessment?
static model and dynamic model
the static model of joint assesment is based on what fundamental?
that structure detemines function
what can create changes in the mechanical and neurological function of a joint?
alterations in the position of adjacent bones
what three things is malposition determined by?
static palpation, x rays, special instruments like thermograpy and electromyography
what could limit static assesment?
bony anomalies, bad function with good alignment, joint compensating for problem elsewhere
what are the advantages of satic assessment?
good for acute conditons with painful movement, and where there is limited motion
what is the emphysis of the static model?
structural , bone out of place causes problems
What is the emphasis of the dynamic model?
functional, loss of motion is the problem
What is the dynamic model based on?
function is often more signifigant thatn structure, mobile means healthy
according to the dynamic model, what do alteration in motion of adjacent bones create?
altered mechanical and neurological function of a joint
what contributes to the altered motion of a joint?
muscles and ligaments
How can restrictions be determined?
motion palpation, posture/gait analysis and motion x rays
what are the main limitations of the dynamic model?
all examiners see something different, not as good if motion is limited, may overlook poor posture if joints are ok, disease may be limited by disease.
what are the main advantages of the dynamic assessment?
identifies componenets that become dysfunctional like joint or soft tissues
what does malposition of bone refer to?
static finding
what does restriction of joint motion refer to?
dynamic finding
what model does the naturopathic manipulative therapeurtic approace uses?
combo of structural/static and functional/dynamic analysis
what is joint fixation?
temporaly immobilized , either in position of movment or at rest when in movement.
what does joint restriction describe?
direction of limited movement in a dysfunctional joint
what are the three main causes of joint dysfunction
mechanical, chemical and phychological stress
Example of mechanical cause of joint dysfunction
macrotrauma, microtrauma (repetitive) and postural
example of chemical cause of joint dysfunction
environmental toxyns, hormonal, reflex interaction
example of psychooical stress causing joint dysfunction
psycho somato visceral reflexes
what does parts stand for?
Pain, Asymmetry, range of motion, tone, special tests
what is parts used for?
to identify joint dysfunction
how is pain and tenderness identifeid
palpation both static and motion
ow is asymmetry detected?
static palpation of bony landmarks and muscle tine
How is range of motion determined?
motion palpation or range of motion, active, passive etc.
how is tone determined?
palpation of soft tissues
