Muscle energy and art Flashcards
1
Q
Muscle energy
A
Direct technique (positioned to the restrictive barrier)
ACtive technique
2
Q
Types of muscle contractions
A
3
Q
Post-isometric relaxation
A
MET
perform isometric then relax?
4
Q
Joint mobilization using muscle force
A
- hypertonicity of musculature cause distortion articular relationship and motion loss
- compress joint surfaces results thining of synovial fluid/joint surfaces
- restore motion to articulation causes gapping or reseating
- reflex relaxation of hypertonic musculature
- strong flex against doctor
5
Q
Respiratory assistance
A
MET
- musculature forces by breathing
- respiratory muscles or motion transmitted to other areas
- apply fulcrum which respiratory forces can work
- Exaggerated respiratory motion
*
6
Q
Oculocephalogyric reflex
A
MET
- eye movements reflexively affect cervical and truncal musculature
- body attempts to follow the lead provided by eye motion
- exceptionally gentle
7
Q
Reciprocal inhibition
A
MET
- contraction agonist muscle reflex relaxation of the antagonist group
- ounces not pounds of pressure
8
Q
Crossed extensor reflex
A
MET
- extremities muscle requires treatment in area severely injured directly unmanipulable
- cross pattern locomotion
- flexor muscle in one extremity contracted voluntarily
- flexor muscle in contralateral extremity relaxes and extensor contracts
9
Q
isokinetic strengthening
A
MET
- Reestablish normal tone and strength in weakened muscle
- weakened from reflex hypertonicity of opposing group
*
10
Q
isolytic lengthening
A
MET
- Lengthen muscles shortened by contracture and fibrosis
- vibrations some effect on myotatic units and mechanical and circulatory
- max contraction resisted comfortably by physician
11
Q
muscle force move one region body to achieve movement of another bone or region?
A
MET
- move one body structure by moving a body structure adjacent to it.
- muscle force move first structure
- force transmitted to another part of body
- gentle pressure
12
Q
isometric vs isotonic
A

A
ART
Direct
17
Q
indications of ART
A
- arthritic patients
- elderly or frail
- crit ill or post op
- infants or younglins
- uncooperative patients
