Q

Define FPR

A

System of indirect myofascial release treatment. The component region of the body is placed into neutral position, diminishing tissue and joint tension in all planes and an activating force is added

Q

Primary goal of FPR

A

Reduce abnormal muscle hypertonicity (superficial and deep) and restore lost motion to restricted articulation

20
Q

For FPR, spinal facilitation is defined as: The maintenance of a pool of neurons (premotor, motor, or preganglionic sympathetics) in a state of partial or subthreshold ________; in this state, less afferent stimulation is required to trigger the discharge of impulses. Facilitation may be due to sustained increase in ________ input, abberant patterns of this input, or changes within the affected neurons themselves or their chemical environment.

A

Excitation; Afferent

21
Q

Absolute contraindication for FPR

A

Lack of consent or cooperation

22
Q

What is the FPR treatment technique for Lumbar, Flexed (type 2), prone?

A

Flex leg that is ipsilateral the PTP off the table Apply compression through the femur Internally rotate and adduct the LE Hold 3-5 seconds Return to neutral and reassess

23
Q

What is the FPR tx technique for lumbar extended, prone?

A

Add <1 lb compression through TP contralateral to PTP you are monitoring Abduct the leg ipsilateral the PTP until motion is felt at the monitoring hand Induce internal rotation of the hip, then extend the leg Hold 3-5 s Return to neutral and reasses

24
Q

Supine Lumbar Still’s technique for extension dysfunction: what forces are applied to the patient?

A

Flex until movement is felt at the segment and then add abduction Once motion is felt, back off flexion by extending until motion is felt at segment Apply ABDUCTION and INTERNAL rotation through segment [then compressive force is added, hip is brought through adduction and external rotation, then back to neutral supine]

25
Q

Supine Lumbar Still’s technique for flexion dysfunction: what forces are applied to the patient?

A

Flex hip and knee until motion is felt at segment Apply INTERNAL ROTATION and ABDUCTION [compressive force is then applied, move hip through adduction and external rotation and back into full hip/knee extension]

26
Q

Basic steps of FPR

A
  1. Segmental Dx 2. Neutralize sagittal plane (lordosis/kyphosis) 3. Facilitating force (compression/torsion) 4. Indirect, 3-plane positioning (shifted neutral) 5. Hold for 3-5 seconds 6. Reevaluate
27
Q

FPR for hypertonic suboccipital mm

A

Pt supine with head and neck off table. Doc at head of table supporting pts head, monitoring hypertonic tissues with 3rd finger Slightly flex head and neck forward to flatten cervical curve Apply gently axial compression on occiput toward feet While maintaining compression, extend head and neck and SB to same side of hypertonic mm Hold for 3-5 seconds, return to neutral, release compression Reassess

28
Q

FPR for cervical segmental dysfunction

A

Pt supine. Doc at head of table supporting pt head with one hand, monitoring articular pillars of affected segment with index finger and thumb Slightly flex pt head and neck forward to flatten cervical curvature Apply gentle axial compression on occiput towards feet While maintaining compression, move segment into its ease of motion Hold for 3-5 seconds, return to neutral, release compression, reassess

29
Q

Still’s for OA SD

A

Pt supine with doc at head of table; place pad of index or middle finger on side of side-bending component in basioocciput, using palm to support pts head. Place other hand on top of pts head SB the head into its ease. Due to coupling motion at OA joint, slight rotation at opposite direction will occur. Introduce F/E depending on dx Compress through top of head. While maintaining compression, take head into neutral and articulate through RB. Release compression, return to neutral, and reassess

30
Q

Still’s for AA SD

A

Pt supine or seated, doc at head of table. Place index or middle finger on TP of atlas (C1) on side of rotation Rotate head into ease of motion; compress through top of head. While maintaining compression, take head into neutral and articulate through RB. Compression is released and head returned to normal. Reassess

31
Q

Still’s for typical cervical SD

A

Pt supine, doc at head of table. Place index or middle finger on articular pillar at level of SD, on side of rotation. SB and rotate the cervical segment into its ease. Introduce F/E depending on dx. Compress through top of head. While maintaining compression, take head into neutral and articulate through RB. Compression is released and head returned to normal. Reassess

32
Q

BLT for OA SD

A

Pt supine, doc at head of table. Use one hand in “pincer” grasp of laminae on either side of midline for C1 to stabilize and monitor the OA through the atlas Place other hand on pts head to induce position of greatest BLT Test respiratory phases and have pt hold breath as long as possible in phase that provides best BLT. Repeat until best motion obtained (1-3x). Reassess

33
Q

BLT for typical cervical Dx

A

Pt supine, doc at head of table with forearms and elbows resting on table. Place palms under pts head, palpate articular processes with index fingers bilaterally. Establish point of BLT in cervical spine by inducing the position of greatest BLT through head and neck. Test respiratory phases and have pt hold breath as long as possible in phase that provides best BLT. Repeat until best motion obtained (1-3x). Reassess

34
Q

FPR Sacral evaluation

A
  1. Neutralize sagittal curve: placec pillow under lower abdomen 2. Thenar eminences on ILAs 3. Doc directs cephalad force with both hands (either both at once or one at a time) Positive test =diminished cephalad motion
