Q

proprioception?

A

75% of proprioception occurs in fascial sheaths

-other 25% occurs in ligaments, tendons, joint capsules and muscle spindle activity

Q

stress

A

force normalized over the area on which it acts

normal stress is perpendicular to the cross-section
sheer stress is parallel

Q

myofascial release mechanisms

A

change in length and associated changes in energy content (hysteresis)

provides peripheral neuroreflexive alterations in muscle tone and neural facilitation (mechanoreceptors)

external forces applied to fascia facilitate restoration of normal structure and function

19
Q

pizoelectric

A

mechanical changes will result in bioelectric signal

20
Q

elastic

A

amount of deformation is same for a given of stres

material returns to original length or conformation when stress is removed

21
Q

viscoelastic

A

nonlinear properties due to viscous nature
-magnitude of stress applied is dependent on rate of loading

stored mechanical energy not completely returned once stress removed

22
Q

area under stress/strain curve?

A

stored mechanical or kinetic energy

23
Q

slope of stress/strain curve?

A

stiffness of substance

24
Q

yield point

A

forces up to this point allow substance to return to original position

surpassing the yield point leads to plastic deformation - molecular components are permanently displaced

25
creep
tendency of a solid material to slowly move or deform permanently under influence of stresses result of long term exposure to stress below yield point
26
when does creep occur in stress/strain curve?
after plastic elongation in the necking phase
27
hysteresis
energy lost when energy returned is not equal to the energy stored and represents residual strain area between curves - energy lost area under bottom curve - energy recovered
28
bone
very flexible and strong
29
viscoelastic?
halfway between elastic and plastic (viscous) models elastic goes back to first orientation plastic assumes new orientation viscoelastic somewhere in between
30
tight/loose concept
pain typically at loose sites as muscles are usually weak and inhibited tight areas are frequently tethered
31
big bandage of fascial continuum model
emphasizes the fascia use the integrity of fascial continuum to treat ``` proximal to distal fulcrum with leverage torsion and traction respiratory assistance reflexive neurologic reset ```
32
pizoelectric model
mechanical tension causes collagen growth/remodeling via current creation transducers that discharge electrical current when physically stressed
33
negative charge?
stimulates osteoblasts
34
positive charge?
stimulates osteoclasts
35
palpation
high level haptic skill
36
treatment with MFR increased when someone has proper?
intention attention activation
37
goals of MFR?
``` relax contracted muscles release tightness or tethering -decreases O2 demand -decreases pain -normalizes ROM across joint -restore 3D symmetry ``` increased circulation and drainage don't aggravate hypermobility
38
MFR absolute contraindication?
absence of SD | lack of consent
39
release
subtle motion palpated by physician -relaxation, melting, shift of tissues
40
direct MFR
toward barrier
41
indirect MFR
away from barrier
42
absolte contraindications of MFR? (book)
``` no SD lack of consent acute fractures open wounds dermatitis acute themal injury ```
43
long lever?
lower extremity MFR technique | upper extremity MFR technique
