Muscle Energy Flashcards
what are the 5 classic osteopathic models
biomechanical structural resiratory-circulatory metabolic-nutritional neurological behavioral-biopsychosocial
osteopathic diagnosis and manipulative treatment is seen as a key modality in
helping to restore homeostasis and facilitate heatlh
what are the goals of a biomechanical adjustment
remove resctriction and enhance motion
goals of the neurological modle
attain autonomic balance, address neural reflex activity, remove segment overactivity, decrease afferent nerve siganls, relieve pain, and influence sensory, motor or autonomic
direct technique
into restriction
indirect technique
into freedom
muscle energy technique
a form of osteopathic manipulative diagnosis and treatment which the patient’s muscles are actively used on request form a precisely controlled position in a specific direction and against a distinctly executed physician couterforce
what is muscle energy used for
used to restore normal muscle tone and or improve joint mechanics
monoarticular muscles
short restrictors considered key in maintaining type II segmental dysfunctions
polyarticular muscles
also referred to as long restrictors, considered to maintain type I group dysfunctions
post isometric relaxation
relaxation of a muscle following a sustained isometric contraction of that muscle
reciprocal inhibition
inhibition of antagonist muscles when the agonist is stimulated
oculocephalogyric reflex
automatic movement of the head which leads or accompanies the movement of the eys
oculocervical
eye movement tht acauses relaxation of cervical sthrough PIR and RI
joint mobilization using muscle force
use of specific muscle contraction to focus forces to a local area of dysfunction
