Manny ATTR 221 exam 2 Flashcards
intrinsic core muscles
transverse abdominus, diaphram, multifidas, pelvic floor
extrinsic core muscles
lats, external obliques, rectus abdominus, quadratus lumborium, glutes, hamstrings, adductors,
how to assess for core stability
straight leg lowering test, prone transverse abdominus test (blood pressure cuff exercise) , supine transverse abdominus test
Kinesthesia
sensation or feeling of joint motion or acceleration
proprioception
ability to determine the position of a joint in space
mechanoreceptors in muscle spindle
sensitive to changes in the length of the muscle
mechorep. in tendon (Golgi tendon organ)
sensitive to changes in muscle tension
mechanorecep. in joint (Ruffini corpuscles)
sensitive to touch, tension, heat, changes in the position of the joint
mechanorecep. in joint (pacinian corpuscles)
sensitive to deep pressure on skin
mechanorecep. in joint (Merkel’s corpuscles)
sensitive to deep pressure on skin but slower rate
mechanorecep. in joint (meissner’s corpuscles)
sensitive to light touch
mechanorecep. in joint (free nerve ending)
sensitive to extreme mechanical, thermal or chemical energy
objectives of NM rehab.
proprioceptive and kinesthetic sensation
dynamic joint stability
reactive NM control
functional motor patterns
know the sequence between inhibit, lengthen, activate, integrate
inhibit, lengthen, activate, integrate
what are some examples of inhibit
SMT, soft tissue release techniques, joint mobilizations
