Principles Of MF Release Flashcards
AROM
Active Range Of Motion
- voluntary
PROM
Passive Range Of Motion
Involuntary
Physiological barrier
End point of AROM
Anatomic barrier
Limit of motion by anatomic structures
- lines up with the end of PROM
Elastic barrier
Between physical and anatomic barrier.
- begins at the end of AROM but before the end of PROM
Restrictive barrier
obstacle to PROM that will reduce the amount of AROM available.
Pathological barrier
Permanent restriction of both AROM & PROM
Somatic dysfunction
Stress on the body that alters tissues and prevents them from returning to their neutral state
- barring chronic somatic dysfunction, is reversible
Structural damage
Structural change in tissues.
- usually nonreversible
TART
Tissue-texture abnormalities
Asymmetry
Restriction of range of motion
Tenderness
Direct MF
Moves tissues towards restrictive barrier
- directly confronts the barrier
Indirect MF
Moves tissues away from restrictive barrier
- does not confront the restrictive barrier
Absolute Contraindications
No consent
Inability to position patient
No somatic dysfunction
Malignancy
Inability of patient to respond to treatment
Relative contraindications
Acute injury
Fracture or dislocation
Neurological compromise
Osteopenia/osteoporosis
Malignancy
Infection
Traction
Type of soft tissue technique
- origin and insertion are held stationary
- central portion of tissue is stretched perpendicular to the origin and insertion.
Inhibition
Type of soft tissue technique
-sustained deep pressure and compression
Fascia
Originates from mesoderm
Contains
golgi tendon organs
Pacinian corpuscles
Ruffini endings
Free nerve endings
Viscosity
Capability of a sold to continually yield under stress
Stress
Reactions on the body that tend to disturb homeostasis
Strain
Change in shape that a body undergoes when acted on by an external force
Relaxation
ability to reduce tension between origin and insertion
Viscoelastic change
Speed of a load affects the amount of stress in a tissue
Piezoelectric properties of collagen
Transducer
Biphasic signal
Stress related signal
Stimulus osteocytes
Stimulates and directs migration of electrically sensative cells
Activates cells
Hooke’s law
Stresses and strains are directly proportional to the force applied
Newton’s 3rd law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Davis’ law
Every change in form or function of a soft tissue is followed by definite changes of its internal architecture and external confirmations
Functions of Fascia
Packaging
Protection
Posture
Passageways
Fascial continuity
Elasticity
Ability of connective tissue to return to resting shape
Plasticity
Ability of connective tissue to retain shape by deformation when forces are removed.
Tenderness vs pain
Tenderness = pain after palpating
Pain = pain before palpating
