Q

Tight or hypertonic muscles are the most common muscular dsyfunction. What is it and what causes it?

A

Muscle Imbalance and tightness, Increased rate of contraction, limited ROM caused by stresses including mechanical, chemical, and psychological .

26
Q

Definition and Purpose of AROM

A

Client performs the actions and tests for contractile or inert tissues.
Purpose: to see overall ability of ROM within pain tolerance

27
Q

Definition and Purpose of PROM

A

Therapist Performs the action, this tests for inert tissues, by disengaging the contractile tissues. Feel the end of the motion.

28
Q

Definition and Purpose of PROM

A

Muscle Resisted testing, isometric contraction. test for contractile tissues because there is no joint motion

29
Q

Explain the purpose of Muscle Approx.

A

Reduces Muscle Tone and Spasm

30
Q

Explain the purpose of cross fibre friction

A

Break down adhesions in chronic injuries, produces collagen

31
Q

Explain the purpose of golgi tendon organ release

A

reduces muscle tone and spasm

32
Q

Explain the purpose of Manual Lymph Drainage

A

Encourages lymph flow
Decreases edema, pain perception, reduces scar tissue formation

33
Q

What is a dermatome?

A

Area of skin innervated by a single nerve root

34
Q

What is a myotome?

A

A group of muscles innervated by the same muscles

35
Q

Definition of Contractile Tissue

A

Produces movement, Muscle, Tendon

36
Q

Definition of Inert Tissue

A

Moved in process: Joint Capsule, bursa, Cartilage

37
Q

How do you define fascia?

A

A slightly mobile connective tissues made up from elasto-Collagen

38
Q

What is matrix/ground substance?

39
Q

Fascia is generally classified in these three categories

A

Deep, superficial, Deepest

40
Q

What are some possible causes for facial reatrictions?

A

Trauma, poor posture, inflammatory process.

41
Q

True or False? Fascia is highly innervated

A

True

42
Q

True or false: Fascia has an influence on the ANS and when there is a dysfunction can have an increase in SNS or PNS

A

TRUE

43
Q

What are some functions of fascia?

A

Reduces friction, supports entire body, protects organs, gives stability for gravity, immunity, holds water

44
Q

How much water does Fascia hold?

A

23%

45
Q

What is avulsion?

A

The Seperation of any body part from the whole by tearing

46
Q

What is ossification?

A

Formation of bone

Acute Symptoms
Chronic Symptoms

58
Q

What do you want to avoid with someone with chronic fatigue syndrome?

A

Deep stimulating work that may further fatigue the client. Focus on light work to reduce pain and stress, promote good circulation

59
Q

Why are assessment results important?

A

Uncovering the root of the problem, massage can help but it will only work in pain management for a period of time, and return

Q

What are the key factors with palpating?

A

Intention
Intuition
Perception
Pressure

61
Q

What information should you provide the client during Resisted ISOMETRIC testing?
