  • GTO
  • Annulospiral
  • flower spray
  • associated neurons
19

A
  • alpha motor neurons

- gamma motor neurons

20
Q

motor facts

A
  • alpha motor neurons

- gamma motor neurons

21
Q

motor facts

A
  • alpha motor neurons

- gamma motor neurons

22
Q

general assessment protocol

A
  • patient history
  • screening tests
  • gait
  • short leg
  • standing/seated flexion test
  • standing assessment/plumb line
  • flat spot/tissue drag/red flash/paravertebral fullness
  • squat test
  • upper extremity test
23
Q

internal structure damage tests

A

compression

24
Q

ligament damage tests

A

decompression

25
Q

machano receptors

A

monoters pressure on the skin

26
Q

thermo reptors

A

monotor temperature on the skin

27
Q

noci ceptors

A

monoter pain on the skin

28
Q

gate control theory of pain

A
  • we reduce pain by massage, (rubbing the area reduces pain) efflerage - overstimulating
  • releasing more machano receptors to block the nociceptors
29
Q

inhibitatory techniques

A
(used to relax muscles)
efflurage
petrassage
isometric techniques
slow stripping 
etc
30
Q

stimulatory techniques

A
(used to tighten muscles)
tapotment
IMFS (the taser)
fast striping
(fast techniques)
31
Q

tendon reflex

A

(part of inhibatory techniques)

32
Q

muscle spindle adaptation

A

(part of inhibatory techniques)

33
Q

isometrics

A

unyeilding resistance

to lengthen the tight antagonist

34
Q

isotonics

A

yeilding resistance

strengthen weak agonist

35
Q

reflexive hyperemia

A

when blood rushes to the surface of the skin (not bruise)

ex - red skin from stripping

36
Q

muscle spindles

A

are sensory receptors that moniter the length
of the muscle
communitate to change the length of the muscle
(inside muscle bellies)
(attach to muscle fibers)
(work with the spinal cord)

37
Q

annulospiral

A
cause muscle to contrac when muscle is being 
over stretched (stretch reflex)
38
Q

flower spray

A

constantly monoters muscle tone to make sure the

muscles are at nuteral

39
Q

action potential

A

spinal cord sends a massage to move a muscle

40
Q

sensory neuron

A

nerve cells responsible for touch & feeling

sensation

41
Q

reciprical inhabtion

A

the lengthening of antagonist

because of contraction of agonist

42
Q

GTO (golgi tendon organ) tendon reflex

A

located where muscle & tendon meet,
when extra tension on the tendon, it sends a message to the spinal cord. (monotering tension)
- starts the process of dropping an object thats to
heavy

43
Q

tendon reflex

A
  • GTO sends message to spinal cord
  • spinal cord blocks motor nerve
  • stops the impulse to contract
