Module 1: TMJ Flashcards
fixing underlying problems is essential for
stability of spine, axial skeleton, and extremities
TMJ, rib, and shoulder girdle have relationship with
cervical spine and upper extremity stability
Anterior disc
Superior, Lateral TMJ
Posterior Disc
Anterior, Inferior TMJ
if loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist sort of loading
Wolff’s Law
what part of the bone gets thicker according to Wolff’s Law?
external periosteum
why do bones lose strength if not under load
no stimulus to maintain mass, less metabolically costly to maintain
Davis Law used to describe
muscle-length relationship
predict rehab and postural distortion outcomes as far as muscle length
Davis Law
how soft tissues model along imposed demands (how a muscle with lengthen in response to stretching)
law of reciprical innervation states that the muscle inhibition usually generates hypertonicity/tightness in antagonist muscles
Sherrington Law
abnormal muscle inhibition is as neurologically important as
over facilitation in patients with pain and dysfunction
what may cause fixated joints
joint adhesions or mechanoreceptor inhibition
hypermobilization may be due to
trauma or long term stretching of ligaments in joint that have healed in pathological position
adjust hypermobile joints before stabilizing due to
proprioception/mechanoreception
there is a build up of tissue where there is
stress/friction over time
when activated under extreme conditions, mechanoreceptors
inhibit adjacent muscle activity
mechanoreceptors are located
in every synovial joint
nociceptors are
slow adapting, high threshold
Type IV are
nociceptors
slow adapting, low threshold
capsules
stress for postural control, conscious proprioception
rapid adapting, low threshold
synovium
slow adapting, high threshold
ligaments
analyzes stretch reflex
muscle spindle
stretch reflex and recruit adjacent muscle fibers to increase strength called
autogenic excitation
causes autogenic inhibition-opposite of muscle spindles, causes relaxation with stretch
golgi tendon
nociceptors activate
sympathetic nervous system
joints and muscles acting on them have the same nerve supply
Hiltons Law
neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when a joint dysfunction inhibits muscles that surround the joint
arthrokinematic inhibition
segments misalign to
proximal segment
