Review III Flashcards
direct technique
toward restrictive barrier
indirect technique
away from restrictive barrier
articulatory technique
aka springing or LVHA
- direct
- patient relax/comfort
engage restrictive barrier
> pressure against barrier to carry body past it
> maintain 1-2 seconds
> retreat from barrier 1-2 seconds
> reengage restrictive barrier (new position)
>repeat
absolute contraindications for articulatory technique
lack of consent no SD fracture/dislocation neuro entrapment vascular compromise local infection
indication for articulatory technique
SD in joint/periarticular tissue that increase joint ROM and decrease hypertonic muscle restriction
balanced ligamentous tension
uses reciprocal tension in ligament of joint
goal - rebalance ligaments and tighten loose ligament
effectiveness - ability to restore cranial rhythmic impulse
crimping
configuration of fibers that make up ligament
- allow it to work as a spring
- SD leads to straight ligament - lost crimp
BLT treatment
disengage/decompression area until motion felt
> exaggeration of dysfunction - return to injury position
> balance ligaments in position of equal tension until release or CRI is palpated
BLT indications
relax contracted muscles, release tethered structures, restore symmetry, increase arterial circulation and venous/lymph drainage
to obtain decrease in pain and edema
any dysfunctional or strained ligamenet
direct, indirect, or both
BLT absolute contraindications
lack of consent
no SD
strain/counterstrain
to relax intrafusal muscle and reset gamma gain
- reduce afferent activity
- in association with myofascial tenderpoint
move muscle origin and insertion closer around TP
> hold for 90 seconds
> slow return to neutral position
gamma gain now at new lower resting state
end of treatment - may feel therapeutic pulse
tenderpoints
tender with no radiation
inappropriate proprioceptive reflex - correlate with SD
rapid myofascial tisue lengthening
-reciprocal shortening reflex of antagonist muscle
initial muscle strain leads to reactive counterstrain
strain/counterstrain indications
when tenderpoint identified
-muscle lengthening and relaxation desired
trigger points
tender with radiation and muscle twitch
absolute contraindication for S/CS
absent of SD
lack of consent
facilitated position release
indirect technique
first allow neutrality in dysfunctional tissue
> activating force into tissue for 5-15 seconds
> causes immediate release of restriction
> release before returned to neutral position
treat superficial dysfunction first**
FPR diagnosis
three-plane diagnosis should be made before attempting FPR
-need to unload joint of all nociceptive and proprioceptive feedback
joint restriction - increase efferent gamma gain
-signals to shorten muscle even when relaxed
FPR indications
hypertonic muscles and restricted ROM
absolute contraindications for FPR
lack of consent no SD hip prosthetic shoulder pathology acute/chronic joint dislocation recent trauma acute fracture
HVLA
direct technique
engage restrictive barrier
> altered afferent output of mechanoreceptors at joint when forced through barrier
quick thrust applied
no HVLA if..
setup uncomfortable
setup produces neuro sx
barrier is rubbery, rather than firm
HVLA indications
SD with firm, distinct barriers
goal - to restore motion and function
reduce muscle hypertonicity, stretch shortened muscles, increase fluid movement, reducing pain
absolute contraindications HVLA
lack of consent
no SD
rheumatoid arthritis
lymphatic technique
restore homeostasis and improving lymph circulation while removing barriers to lymph flow
free restrictions centrally then peripherally
-treat major diaphragms first
sibsons fascia
thoracic inlet
-drainage point for thoracic duct
