1. Neuropathophysiology
2. Kinesiopathophysiology
3. Myopathology
4. Histopathology
5. Pathophysiology (Biochemical)

Question 2

Biomechanical insult to nerve tissue is proposed to cause neural dysfunction in three forms, individually or in combination

Answer 2

Neuropathophysiology

Question 3

3 forms of biomechanics insult to nerve that cause neural dysfunction (neuropathophysiology)

Answer 3

1. Irritation
2. Compression or mechanical insult
3. Decreased axoplasmic transport

Question 4

Described as hypomobility, diminished or absent joint play, or segmental hypomobility due to compensation

Answer 4

Kinesiopathology

Question 5

May include spasm or hypertonicity of muscles as result of compensation, facilitation, Hilton’s law, or any combination

Answer 5

Myopathology

Question 6

A nerve supplying a joint also supplies the muscle which move the joint and the skin covering the articular insertion of those muscles.

Answer 6

Hilton’s law

Question 7

This component relates to inflammation; including pain, heat, and swelling and can result from trauma, hyper mobile irritation, or can occur as part of the REPAIR process

Answer 7

Histopathology

Answer 8

Histopathology

Question 9

5 signs of inflammation

Answer 9

Redness (rubor)
Heat (color)
Swelling (tumor)
Pain (dolor)
Loss of function (function lease)

Question 10

Hormonal and chemical effects or imbalances related to pre-inflammatory stress syndrome and the production of histamines, prostaglandins, and bradykinins

Answer 10

Pathophysiology
