Savarese chapter 1 Flashcards
What does TART stand for
Tissue texture changes
Asymmetry
Restriction
Tenderness
Physiologic barrier
A point at which a patient can actively move any given joint
Anatomic barrier
a point at which a physician can passively move any given joint
Restrictive/pathologic barrier
Lies before the physiologic barrier and prevents full range of motion of that joint
Acute SD findings
edematous, erythematous, boggy with increased moisture. Muscles hypertonic. Asymmetry is present. Restriction is present and painful with movement. Tenderness is sharp and severe.
Chronic SD findings
Decreased or no edema, no erythema, cool dry skin with slight tension. Decreased muscle tone, flaccid, ropy, fibrotic. Asymmetry is present with compensation in other areas of the body. Restriction is present with decreased or no pain. And tenderness is dull, achy, or burning.
Fryette’s law I
In the neutral position, sidelining precedes rotation, side bending and rotation occur to opposite sides.
Fryette’s law II
In the non-neutral position, rotations precedes side bending, side bending and rotation occur to the same side.
Fryette’s law III
Initiating motion at any vertebral segment in any one plane of motion will modify the mobility of that segment in the other two planes of motion.
Fryette did not write about
The cervical spine
Cervical superior facet orientation
BUM
Backward, Upward, and Medial
Thoracic superior facet orientation
BUL
Backward, Upward, and Lateral
Lumbar superior facet orientation
BM
Backward and Medial
Direct treatment
Towards the barrier
Indirect treatment
Away from the barrier
