Session 4 Flashcards
Extremity, muscle and ligament techniques
If a muscle is strong in the clear, but weakens after it is maximally contracted for three seconds. Look for a ______ in the _________ of the muscle.
Tender point
Belly
If a muscle weakens after stretching, what may need to be applied to it
Fascial release
What other treatment is best applied after fascial release in muscle stretch reaction treatment
Neurolymphatic reflexes
Neurovascular reflexes
Vitamin B12
Treatment for cutaneous receptor dysfunction is
Stretch the skin and add as quick a vibration as possible with the fingers for 20-30sec
Or apply 300Hz vibration
Supplement with vitamin B complex
If gently pinching a muscle weakens an indicator muscle, __________ the muscle about _________ per second _________ times
Gently tap
Once
8-10
Treatment of a reactive muscle pair is usually applied to a dysfunctioning __________ in the ________ muscle
Neuromuscular spindle cell
Primary
“Muscle interlink” refers to reactive muscles in a ________ relationship
Gait
Treatment for ligament interlink is
Digital manipulation of the least painful ligament whilst simultaneously holding the hyoid bone towards that side
Spinal Interlink is like ligament interlink between
Vertebral lovett reactors
Ligament stretch reaction is from toxic levels of
The breakdown products of adrenalin
Diagnosis of ligament stretch reaction is
Stretch a ligament and immediately test a previously strong indicator muscle for weakening. Preferably a muscle directly associated with the same articulation as the ligament
A muscle is tested about once per second. It weakens after 5 tests. What nutrition may be indicated
Iron (aerobic)
In aerobic deficiency, what is required
Increase in aerobic activity, Decrease in anaerobic activity
In anaerobic excess what is required
Increase in aerobic activity, Decrease in anaerobic activity
In extremity challenge, if the vector reduces a subluxation, a weak associated muscle will
Strengthen
If using a strong indicator muscle for challenge, before adjustment of an extremity articulation what must be tested
Vector of adjustment
If a cuboid is subluxated what muscle may be weakened
Ipsilateral TFL
When evaluating ankle dorsiflexion, what may give an appearance of greater dorsiflexion than there really is at the ankle
If the ankle is not isolate and the entire foot is brought into dorsiflexion
When buying new shoes that have a heel what is a good test for arch support
Press on the arch. It should not yield to pressure
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is entrapment of the _______ nerve
Tibial nerve
Where might the pain from functional hallux limits be located
Almost anywhere in the body but may be no foot complaint
Rib pump technique involves ______ technique in its correction
Strain/counterstrain
Subluxation of the ____________ bone may weaken serrates anticus
Scaphoid
Which organ would you check if your patient has difficulty or knee pain when ascending stairs
Small intestine (quadriceps)
Calculate your personal maximum heart rate
180-age-5
Correction of strain/counterstrain requires __________ of a tender point in the passive posture of _____________
Palpation
Maximum reduction of pain
After correction of strain/counterstrain it is wise to forward the patient of _________ on the following day
Pain in the general area
In extremity challenge, if the vector reduces a subluxation, a weak associated muscle will __________
Strengthen
If cuboid is subluxated and ipsilateral TLF is weak explain what mechanism is causing the weakness
When the cuboid is subluxated it simulates walking on the side of a hill thus inhibiting the ipsilateral TFL
Improper patellofemoral tracking is often due to an imbalance of the
Vastus medals and lateralis
