basal ganglia cortex

45
Q

Explain how prolonged postures or immobilization can lead into the manual therapy lesion?

46
Q

How does increased tissue temperature effect collagen?

A
  1. at a temperature of 42C or 112F you get inhibition of GAG production from fibroblasts
  2. 40-42C collagen partially metls and tissue becomes fragile
  3. 45C tendon rupture with only 25% of the normal tearing force
47
Q

What effect does arachidonic acid have on pain and what food do you find it in?

A
  1. since it is a major precursor to inflammation in faciliates the inflammation casscade
  2. red meat, shell fish, dairy products
48
Q

What are normal vascular and tissue pressues

A
  1. vascular- mean fluid pressure of 17 mmHg and colloid OS of 28mmHg
  2. tissue: tissue osmotic -5.3 -> total tissue pressue -17 -> total colliod pressure 28.3
49
Q

How do tissue pressures change with trauma?

A
  1. vascular mean fluid and colloid osmotic pressure increases to 18-40 mmHg
  2. tissue pressures decease to less than 7 mmHg for total tissue pressure and colloid osmotic
50
Q

What are the differentials for spine capsule involvement?

A
  1. stretching of the capsule is painful
