Myofascial Release lecture Flashcards
GAG’s
hydrophilic (water loving)
more gags–> more pliable, babies
fewer gags–> elderly, stiffer in joints
what does trauma do to fascia
changes composition of fascia
restriction of motion (within joint or muscle)
function of fascia
packaging
protection
posturing
passageways
true or false
fascia and muscle are anatomically inseparable
TRUE
fascial sheaths
carry 75 percent of proprioceptors
Creep
myofascial structures repsond to sustained stress forces by undergoing deformation to accomodate load
release of stored kinetic energy
hysteresis
after the load is released, the myofascial structures return towards their initial state but never regain their pre-load structure
change in energy content
what is impeded by compressive affect of myofascial tissues?
axoplasic flow of nutrients within the peripheral nerves
stress
force normalized over the area on which it acts
perpendicular to the cross-section
sheer stress is
parallel to the cross-section
strain
change in shape due to stress
the resulting deformation
stiffness
the ratio of a load to the deformation/strain it causes”tight”
compliance
the inverse of stiffness “loose”
Wolff’s law
bones and soft tissue tend to deform along the lines of forces placed upon them
Hooke’s law
strain/deformation placed on an elastic body is in proportion to the stress placed on it
newton’s 3rd law
when 2 bodies interact, the force exerted by the first on the second is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the second
Pascell’s
pressure applied to a liquid at rest from any point is transmitted equally in all directions.
elastic
material returns to its orginal length or conformation when the stress is removed
viscoelastic
nonlinear properties due to viscous nature
magnitude of stress applied is dependent on the rate of loading
stored mechanical energy not completely returned once the stress is removed
residual strain
occurs due to reorganization at a molecular level
so after a solid material slowly moves or deforms permanately under the influence of stress–> if that stress is removed the solid material has undergone residual strain
tight/loose concept
tight knee—> loose ankle
big bandage of fascial continuum model
what?
bioenergetic model
what the fuck
