Q

Neurophysiological Effects of Manual Therapy

A

ANS: change in vitals, skin conductance

Spinal Cord: inhibit pain receptors, decreased hypertonicity

CNS: altered pain experience in brain, inhibits mechanical nociception (gate control)

PNS: decreased inflammatory mediators

Temporal: last 20-30min, need to supplement with exercise to maintain effects

Q

Normal End Feels

A

Bony/Hard: bone on bone
-elbow ext
-hard ending
-no joint play

Elastic: muscle tendon unit
-stretches with recoil
-wrist flextion causing finger flexion
-muscle adhesions= passive stretch

Soft: soft tissue
-elbow flexion

Capsular: produced by capsule or ligaments
-with pain= 1-2 Oscillation
-Adhesions= 3 sustained and 3-4 oscillation mobilization

Q

Abnormal End Feels

A

Springy: articular surface
-rebound sensation
-knee flexion with displaced meninscus

Boggy: viscous fluid in joint
-squishy sensation
-blood in joint or sepsis

Spasm: reactive muscle reaction
-unyielding spasm
-recent trauma or tear
-no joint play

Empty: pain stops you
-no joint play if with assessment

Q

Subacute Stage of Healing

A

-proliferation and repair
-pain at endfeel
-2 days - 3 months
-growth of capillaries, collagen formation, wound is covered, granulation tissue

PT:
-mobilize scar
-promote healing and function (PROM>AAROM>AROM)
-develop neurmuscular control
-pt education about 6w healing

Manual Therapy Teqniques:
-soft tissue/estim/stretch
-joint mobilizations (II-III)
-MET
-HVLAT if MET not successful

Q

Chronic Stage of Healing

A

-maturation and remodeling
-pain at overpressure
-12 days -1+ yr
-new collagen (type 2) to align with stress
-scar formation

PT:
-return to function
-increase tensile quality of scar
- develop functional independence
-mobilize scar
-improve neurmuscular control

Manual Therapy Teqniques:
-soft tissue/estim/strength
-joint mobilizations (III-IV)
-MET to prepare for HVLAT
-HVLAT Strong indication
