Principles Of MF Release

Question 1

AROM

Answer 1

Active Range Of Motion

• voluntary

Question 2

PROM

Answer 2

Passive Range Of Motion

Involuntary

Question 3

Physiological barrier

Answer 3

End point of AROM

Question 4

Anatomic barrier

Answer 4

Limit of motion by anatomic structures

• lines up with the end of PROM

Question 5

Elastic barrier

Answer 5

Between physical and anatomic barrier.

• begins at the end of AROM but before the end of PROM

Question 6

Restrictive barrier

Answer 6

obstacle to PROM that will reduce the amount of AROM available.

Question 7

Pathological barrier

Answer 7

Permanent restriction of both AROM & PROM

Question 8

Somatic dysfunction

Answer 8

Stress on the body that alters tissues and prevents them from returning to their neutral state

• barring chronic somatic dysfunction, is reversible

Question 9

Structural damage

Answer 9

Structural change in tissues.

• usually nonreversible

Question 10

TART

Answer 10

Tissue-texture abnormalities
Asymmetry
Restriction of range of motion
Tenderness

Question 11

Direct MF

Answer 11

Moves tissues towards restrictive barrier

• directly confronts the barrier

Question 12

Indirect MF

Answer 12

Moves tissues away from restrictive barrier

• does not confront the restrictive barrier

Question 13

Absolute Contraindications

Answer 13

No consent

Inability to position patient

No somatic dysfunction

Malignancy

Inability of patient to respond to treatment

Question 14

Relative contraindications

Answer 14

Acute injury

Fracture or dislocation

Neurological compromise

Osteopenia/osteoporosis

Malignancy

Infection

Question 15

Traction

Answer 15

Type of soft tissue technique

• origin and insertion are held stationary
• central portion of tissue is stretched perpendicular to the origin and insertion.

Question 16

Inhibition

Answer 16

Type of soft tissue technique

-sustained deep pressure and compression

Question 17

Fascia

Answer 17

Originates from mesoderm

Contains

golgi tendon organs

Pacinian corpuscles

Ruffini endings

Free nerve endings

Question 18

Viscosity

Answer 18

Capability of a sold to continually yield under stress

Question 19

Stress

Answer 19

Reactions on the body that tend to disturb homeostasis

Question 20

Strain

Answer 20

Change in shape that a body undergoes when acted on by an external force

Question 21

Relaxation

Answer 21

ability to reduce tension between origin and insertion

Question 22

Viscoelastic change

Answer 22

Speed of a load affects the amount of stress in a tissue

Question 23

Piezoelectric properties of collagen

Answer 23

Transducer

Biphasic signal

Stress related signal

Stimulus osteocytes

Stimulates and directs migration of electrically sensative cells

Activates cells

Question 24

Hooke’s law

Answer 24

Stresses and strains are directly proportional to the force applied

Question 25

Newton’s 3rd law

Answer 25

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Question 26

Davis’ law

Answer 26

Every change in form or function of a soft tissue is followed by definite changes of its internal architecture and external confirmations

Question 27

Functions of Fascia

Answer 27

Packaging

Protection

Posture

Passageways

Fascial continuity

Question 28

Elasticity

Answer 28

Ability of connective tissue to return to resting shape

Question 29

Plasticity

Answer 29

Ability of connective tissue to retain shape by deformation when forces are removed.

Question 30

Tenderness vs pain

Answer 30

Tenderness = pain after palpating

Pain = pain before palpating
