Midterm Flashcards
what is ankylosis? Is passive movement possible?
fusion of the joint
no
What are the absolute contraindications for joint mobilizations? (8)
- malignancy in area
- active inflammation and/or infectious joint
- ankylosis of joint
- fracture at the joint
- practitioner lack of ability
- neurological deterioration
- diseases with affect integrity of ligaments
- arterial insufficiency
What are relative contraindications for joint mobilizations? (6)
- excessive pain or swelling
- arthroplasty (joint replacement)
- hypermobility
- metabolic bone disease
- pregnancy
- spondylolisthesis
What direction are you assessing with Grade 3 distraction?
general mobility
What is the dosage for joint mobilization oscillations?
- 1-3 seconds each
- 1-5 sets for 15-30 seconds each
What is the dosage for joint mobilization sustained holds
1-5 sets for 15-30 seconds each
What direction will you do grade 1 and 2 joint mobilizations?
the direction doesn’t matter; must be done in open packed positions
How many times should joint mobilizations with movements be done before reassessing joint motion?
10 times
What is the ability of contractile tissue to produce tension and a resultant force based on demand placed on the muscle
muscle strength
What is the ability of the neuromuscular system to produce, reduce, or control forces during functional activities in a smooth coordinated manner
muscle functional strength
What is the ability of related to the strength and speed of a movement; the amount of work produced by a muscle in a given amount of time
muscle power
What is the ability to perform low-intensity, repetitive, or sustained activities over a prolonged period of time
muscle endurance
Which muscle fibers atrophy fastest?
type 1 fibers - endurance fibers
Which type of muscle fibers shows the greatest hypertrophy?
type 2 fibers - strength/power fibers
What occurs at the capillary beds during hypertrophy?
there is no change because there is no extra demand for O2 for strength and power - they are anaerobic
What are resistance training guidelines for children under 7
- no “formal” training
- encourage daily physical activity and bodyweight exercises
- emphasize multi-joint, functional movements
- increase weight by no more than 5% at a time
What muscle performance training would have some sort of time/speed component to it combined with strength?
TUG test
What does FITT stand for?
Frequency
Intensity
Time
Type
Training zone of 1 RM for sedentary/untrained patients
30 -40% of 1 RM
Training zone of 1 RM for highly trained patients
over 80% of 1 RM
Training zone of 1 RM for normal patients
60 - 80% of 1 RM
________ recovery leads to more rapid recovery than _______
active is more rapid than passive
What type of exercise has an analgesic effect based on research?
isometric exercise
At a minimum, how long should a static isometric muscle contraction hold last
6-10 seconds
When can patients progress to the mobility phase of their exercise prescription?
when signs of inflammation have disappeared
- some patients can skip tissue healing phase and go right to mobility phase
What kind of exercises would you do during the tissue healing phase?
ROM and isometrics
What kind of exercises would you do during the mobility phase?
ROM and stretching exercises
What is required for the patient to progress from the mobility phase to the performance initiation/stabilization and motor control phase?
pain free ROM
- they do not have to have full mobility, just has to be pain free
What type of exercises can be used in the performance initiation/stabilization and motor control phase
concentric, eccentric, and isometric
- apply the SAID principle
What is required for the performance improvement phase?
pain free ROM
- does not have to have full mobility, just has to have pain free ROM
What is the goal of BFR?
mimic the effects of high intensity exercise by recreating a hypoxic environment using a cuff while performing low intensity exercises
Does PROM increase strength and endurance?
No
reciprocal inhibition
When the stretch reflex is activated in a muscle being lengthened (antagonist), inhibition in the muscle on the opposite side of the joint may occur
- relaxation of muscles on 1 side of a joint to accommodate contraction on the other side of the joint
- activating the agonist to get the antagonist to relax
What part of the muscle control reciprocal inhibition?
muscle spindles
What part of the muscle controls autogenic inhibition?
golgi tendon organs
autogenic inhibition
When tension develops, the GTO fires and decreases tension in the muscle-tendon unit being stretched, enabling a muscle to be elongated against less muscle tension
- ability for a muscle to relax when it experiences increased tension
- activating the antagonist to get the antagonist the relax
When is PNF stretching more appropriate?
when muscle spasm limits motion
When is PNF stretching less appropriate?
for stretching long-standing, fibrotic contractures
antagonist contraction
- hold-relax
- using autogenic inhibition
- stretch range limiting (antagonist) muscle to end range, then have patient contract muscle, then stretch farther
agonist contraction
- contract relax
- using reciprocal inhibition
- stretch range limiting (antagonist) muscle to end range, then have patient contract agonist (opposite) muscle, then stretch antagonist
When is agonist contraction useful?
- when muscle guarding restricts muscle lengthening and joint movement
- when the patient can’t generate a strong, pain-free contraction of antagonist
What does SBAR stand for?
Situation
Background
Assessment
Recommendation
nociceptive vs neuropathic pain
nociceptive - increased sensitivity to a peripheral nerve, usually from an injury
neuropathic - injury to a nerve
