PNF strech/breathing d/o Flashcards
two types of pnf stretches, that have a combo of alternating isotonic or metric contract/relax (10s push, 10s relax)
CR (contract/relax)
HR (hold/relax)
pnf stretch:
- musc is passively pushed to resistance point
- pt then contracts against isotonic resist by doc
- pt then relax and doc stretches further
contract relax (rep 3x)
- isometric contraction against resist. of musc being stretched
- pt then contrx the agonist of musc being stretched while doc applies light pressure to get max stretch
hold relax
PNF stretches for the neck
semispinalis
upper traps
levator (supine)
scalene (supine - TOS, AHC)
LB/pelvis PNFs
hams (chronic PI il, tightness) hip adductors iliopsoas (AS il/sacr, tight quad) rectus femoris TFL piriformis quads erector spinae
breathing pattern d/o are influenced by biomechanical issues such as (2)
ribhead fixation
UC/LCS musc imbalance
breathing pattern d/o are influenced by biochemical issues such as (5)
body pH allergy diet hormones kidney probs
breathing pattern d/o are influenced by psychosocial issues such as (4)
chronic anxiety
anger
depression
stress
check the respiratory mechanism in a pt who has (3)
chronic cervical symptoms
stress related conditions
delayed response to preveious tx
three steps in breathing mech monitoring
assess resp
ID faulty breath patterns
correct/monitor
there are __ resp muscles and almost all have postural fxn
-eg, fault: chest breathing, subst of scalenes/upper trap for inhib diaphragm - ribs rise up vert rather than abd.
20+
raising of ribcare (INSP) chest > abd movement no lat excursion of ribs abdom IN w/ INHALATION + OUT w/ EXHALATION (paradoxical) inabil to maintain abd --are all types of:
primary respiration faults
four steps to assess and fix faulty breathing
first rib adjust
anterior thoracic
ribhead fixation (costovert/costostern)
diaphragm
