Manual Therapy Flashcards
manual therapy should be done
with other evidence based treatments
part of the plan as well as active exercises and education
high irritability and MT appropriate
low-intensity JT mob
pain free accessory ranges
MT and moderate irritability appropriateness
mod intensity JT mob
progressing amplitude and duration into tissue resistance without producing symptoms
MT and low irritability appropriateness
end-range jt mobilization
high amp and long duration into tissue resistance
role of MT
improve body/structure impairment
psychosocial context
bone disorder contraindications of MT
recent fracture
osteopenia/perosis
suspected fx
vascular contraindications of MT
hematoma
clotting disorders
anomalies/vessel path changes
active infection contraindications of MT
acute local infection
bacterial infection
RA
systemic infection
collagen disorders contraindications of MT
RA
EDS
Marfans
congenital abnormalities
skin condition contraindications of MT
sutures
open wound
hypersensitivity of skin
accessory contraindications of MT
advanced diabetes
congenital disorders
malignancy
severe joint disease
biomechanical effects of MT
improved mvmt
improved position
neurophysiological effects of MT
spinal cord mediated
central mediated
peripheral inflammatory
spinal cord mediated effects of MT include
hypoalgesia
sympathoexcitatory
muscle reflexogenic
central mediated effects of MT include
alterations in pain “experience”
soft tissue/joint mobilization effects
decrease afferent nociceptive info
peripheral gating
promote peripheral blood flow
non-specific treatment effects
manipulation effects
descending pain inhibition
promote PSNS activity
peripheral gating
decreased motor pool excitability, resting muscle activity, muscle spindle activity
autonomic response in spinal cord to MT
skin temp
skin conduction
cortisol levels
heart rate
neuromuscular response in spinal cord to MT
motorneuron pool
afferent discharge
muscle activity
pain inhibition is facilitated by
decreased pain sensitivity
enhanced pain inhibition
decreased pain facilitation
