Q

Absolute CI’s to local

A

Not recommended to local area

25
Q

Relative CI’s

A

Treatment to be modified

Disc herniation
Etc

26
Q

Draping boundary for side lying

A

Undrape back to the ILLIAC crest
Undrape leg to the greater trochanter
Ensuring that the genital area and gluteal cleft are covered

27
Q

Center of gravity

A

Biomechanics
Force should be applied by shifting body weight and moving COG forward

28
Q

Table height

A

1/2 of therapists height
24-28 inches width

29
Q

Local contraindication vs general CI

A

Local- certain area
General- (systemic) Andy reason to avoid entire body

30
Q

Draping boundary line prone

A

Undrape back to the PSIS
Undrape the leg to the greater trochanter so gluteal muscles are accessible

31
Q

Draping line- supine

A

Undrape to pectoral muscles
Female- rise of breast

32
Q

Closed/open questions

A

Open ended- invite Reflexion stimulate further conversation
Closed- result in simple, straight forward answers

33
Q

Gliding stroking and effleurage CI’s

A

Not used distal to an area of inflammation
Or distal to injury
Not used in open wounds
Not used in limbs of client with
hypertension,
heart disease
Varicose veins
Edema caused by thrombosis

34
Q

Kneading CI’s

A

Not used in

  • Most Acute conditions and when local massage is contraindicated
  • severely atrophied or atonic muscles
  • over vericosities
35
Q

Vibration CI’s

A

Not with

Uncovered open or contagious skin issues
Course- may cause spastic paralysis

36
Q

Apical breathing

A

Inefficient breathing- upper chest of lungs are used

Lateral ribs and scalenes compensate for lack of visceral breathing

Can be seen with
Poor posture
Pain
Stress

37
Q

Paradoxical breathing

A

Occurs when stomach does not rise as they breathe in

Stomach muscles do not relax

Outer rib motion and scalenes must compensate for lack of stomach movement

May indicate diaphragm problems

38
Q

2 factors of body mechanics

A

Ergonomics
Biomechanics

39
Q

Ergonomics

A

Design equipment-work environment and workload to reduce stress on body

Issues can be-
Height and width of massage table
Type of floor covering
And amount of space for table

40
Q

Biomechanics

A

Body motions and muscular forces to complete tasks

Concerns can be

Improper use of body areas

Repetitive delivery of mechanical forces

41
Q

Sequencing and transitioning

A

Sequencing refers to
Both the sequence of methods (the order)

Transitioning involves
Smooth movements from 1 method to another

Efficient progression of skills when undraping

42
Q

Sequencing principles

A

General specific general

Superficial deep superficial

Proximal distal proximal

Peripheral central peripheral

43
Q

What two sequencing principles should be applied to every technique

A

General specific general

44
Q

Stressed breathing

A

Apical breathing
