25
Tight or hypertonic muscles are the most common muscular dsyfunction. What is it and what causes it?
Muscle Imbalance and tightness, Increased rate of contraction, limited ROM caused by stresses including mechanical, chemical, and psychological .
26
Definition and Purpose of AROM
Client performs the actions and tests for contractile or inert tissues. Purpose: to see overall ability of ROM within pain tolerance
27
Definition and Purpose of PROM
Therapist Performs the action, this tests for inert tissues, by disengaging the contractile tissues. Feel the end of the motion.
28
Definition and Purpose of PROM
Muscle Resisted testing, isometric contraction. test for contractile tissues because there is no joint motion
29
Explain the purpose of Muscle Approx.
Reduces Muscle Tone and Spasm
30
Explain the purpose of cross fibre friction
Break down adhesions in chronic injuries, produces collagen
31
Explain the purpose of golgi tendon organ release
reduces muscle tone and spasm
32
Explain the purpose of Manual Lymph Drainage
Encourages lymph flow Decreases edema, pain perception, reduces scar tissue formation
33
What is a dermatome?
Area of skin innervated by a single nerve root
34
What is a myotome?
A group of muscles innervated by the same muscles
35
Definition of Contractile Tissue
Produces movement, Muscle, Tendon
36
Definition of Inert Tissue
Moved in process: Joint Capsule, bursa, Cartilage
37
How do you define fascia?
A slightly mobile connective tissues made up from elasto-Collagen
38
What is matrix/ground substance?
Under normal conditions, a gelatinous consistency that transports metabolic waste material through the body
39
Fascia is generally classified in these three categories
Deep, superficial, Deepest
40
What are some possible causes for facial reatrictions?
Trauma, poor posture, inflammatory process.
41
True or False? Fascia is highly innervated
True
42
True or false: Fascia has an influence on the ANS and when there is a dysfunction can have an increase in SNS or PNS
TRUE
43
What are some functions of fascia?
Reduces friction, supports entire body, protects organs, gives stability for gravity, immunity, holds water
44
How much water does Fascia hold?
23%
45
What is avulsion?
The Seperation of any body part from the whole by tearing
46
What is ossification?
Formation of bone
47
The three types of trigger points
Active, Latent, satelite
48
How are strains measured?
1st, 2nd, 3rd degree
49
How are sprains measured?
Grades 1, 2, or 3
50
Types of stress
Eustress: good, able to meet demands Distress: bad, negative, harmful aspects
51
Increased stress puts pressure on what system?
Sympathetic flight or flight response
52
What is the system in the brain that regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate?
Reticular Activating System (RAS)
53
What are the stages of General Adaptation syndrome?
Flight or flight, resistance /reaction, exhaustion
54
What is Fibromyalgia?
A disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain in tenderness, in 11/18 points
55
Your client has fibromyalgia, where should you spend more time on?
Head, neck shoulders, addressing muscles of mastication, facial, and scalp massage, suboccipital work
56
What is chronic fatigue syndrome?
An endemic disorder linked to an initial viral infection that results in a spectrum of symptoms, primarily intense fatigue
57
Two types of chronic fatigue
Acute Symptoms Chronic Symptoms
58
What do you want to avoid with someone with chronic fatigue syndrome?
Deep stimulating work that may further fatigue the client. Focus on light work to reduce pain and stress, promote good circulation
59
Why are assessment results important?
Uncovering the root of the problem, massage can help but it will only work in pain management for a period of time, and return
60
What are the key factors with palpating?
Intention Intuition Perception Pressure
61
What information should you provide the client during Resisted ISOMETRIC testing?
there should be no movement at the joint, “Don’t let me move you”
