MET and ART Flashcards
What did Dr. T.J. Ruddy invent? Think lots of R’s
Ruddy’s Rapid Rhythmic Restrictive Duction
Who else contributed to muscle energy history?
Dr. Fred L. Mitchell Sr. wrote early as 1948 and taught courses in 1950-1970’s
What did Dr. Fred Mitchell Jr. do?
Developed and amplified MET
What is muscle energy?
Voluntary contraction by patient in a precise controlled direction at varying levels of intensity against a distinctly executed force
What patient’s motion is towards or away the barrier in Muscle Energy?
Away
What is iosmetric contraction?
contraction with no change in the distance between the muscle origin and insertion
What is concentric isotonic contraction?
Contraction of a muscle with approximation of origin and insertion
What is eccentric iostonic contraction?
Contraction of a muscle with seperation of origin and insertion
What is “ioslytic” contraction?
NON PHYSIOLOGICAL
attempted concentric contraction with an external force causing separation of origin and insertion
What is the physiological principal of Post isometric relaxation?
Muscle contraction –> increased tension in Golgi tendon organ –> inhibition of muscle contraction
What is the physiological principal of Joint mobilization using muscle force?
Restore the motion to the articulation by reseating or gapping the distorted joint relations with reflex relation of the previously hypertonic musculature.
How much force of contraction can you use with Joint mobilization using muscle force?
up to 30 to 50 lb of pressure depending on joint treated
What is physiological basis for respiratory assistance?
Muscular forces involved are generated by breathing.
What is the force of contraction for respiratory assistance?
Exaggerated respiratory motion
What is physiological basis for oculocephalogyric reflex?
Eye movements reflexively affect the cervical and truncal musculature as body tries to follow the eye motion.
