Part 1 Flashcards
Kinesiopathology
Bones of spine have lost their normal motion and position. Sets in motion the 4 other components
Myopathology
Muscles supporting the spine can weaken, atrophy or become too tight and go into spasm. Scar tissue can limit motion and require multiple adjustments
Histopathology
Changes in blood or lymph can cause inflammation and swelling. Discs bulge, herniate, tear or degenerate. Ligaments can be permanently damaged
Neuropathology
Improper spinal function can compress, stretch or irritate nerve tissue (spinal nerve or cord)
Pathophysiology
Bone spurs or other abnormal bony growths in attempt to fuse long term nerve dysfunction
What is the 5 component model to subluxation theory?
Kinesiopathology, myopathology, histopathology, neuropathology, pathophysiology
What are the part to the 3D Kent model of subluxation theory?
Dyskinesia, dysponesis, dysautonomia
Dyskinesia
Abnormality or impairment in voluntary motion
Dysponesia
Reversible physiopathologiv state consisting of unnoticed, misdirected neurophysiologic reactions to various agents
Dysautonomia
Neurophysiologic state reflecting abnorma, balance between tone of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS
What is themost widely accepted definition of subluxation?
ACC
Dysponesia is associated with what theory?
Safety pin cycle theory
What is the safety pin cycle theory?
Unnoticed errors in afferent transmission result in covert errors in output, which can lead to disease
Abnormal vertebral movement can be broken down into what categories?
Spinal fixation (hypomobility) Hypermobility due to instability, compensation or trauma
Nervecompressio n theory
Impingement occurs when a nerve’s surroundings become confined, or narrowed due to vertebral misalignment or other mechanical factors which can cause a nerve block or nerve irriataion
Nerve block
Nerve signalz are stopped
Nerve irritation
Send more signals that they should
Mechanoreceptor deafferentation theory
This concept suggests that when there is spinal fixation or loss of moveme t, importang nerve signals dont reach the CNS, this can cause balance and equilibrium problems and can affect the part of the brain that influences immunity and personality
What are the three parts of the facilitation theory?
Somatosomatic, somatovisceral, viscerosomatic
