SMT-3 Manual, pgs 9-48 Flashcards
511: According to Mew 2009 when is TrA, IO and EO most active?
511: TrA in ab hollowing in standing. IO and EO in ab hollowing in crook lying
512: How did Hodges et al link TrA : ?
512: TrA connected to thracolumbar fascia sometimes even absent or fused to IO, but no correlation w/ LBP has been shown.
513: What did Fast et all 1990 find relating to pregnancy and TrA?
513: 16% of pregnant women cannot do a sit up, but no correlation between sit up and back pain.
514: What did Gileard and Brown 1996 find relating to post partum and TrA?
514: It takes 4-6 weeks to reverse ab muscle length postpartum. 635/869 (73%) postpartum back pain resolves after 1 week.
515: TrA and obesity?
515: Leboefyde 2000 epidemiological studies weak association w/ LBP.
516: Ab muscles post surgery and LBP?
516: Simon et all 2004 no relationship between surgery and LBP or level of function even years after surgery.
Berlinier 1983 no link between hernia repair which is a surgery know to affect TrA and LBP.
517: Who measured TrA, IO,EO, SM and ant/ med/ post deltoid?
517: Hodges & Richardson 1996.
518: When was the most significant delay?
518: 50-450 ms
519: What is normal TrA contraction?
519: 30 ms feed forward
520: Did the TrA contract in all 3 directions?
520: No, failed to prepared spine. TrA fired after the movement.
521: What were TrA timing measures in other studies?
521: 20 ms, 1/50th of a second
522: What about the IO, EO and RA?
522: All delayed onset but only with specific arm movements.
523: What did Hodges & Richardson 1998 change in methods of TrA timing?
523: LE flexion, extension and abduction
524: What was normal timing?
524: TrA preceded RF by 110 ms, pts with LBP the onset of TrA followed prime movers RF, TFL and glut max by several 100ms.
525: What did Richardson et al 1999 test in quads?
525: reflex inhibition
526: What is reflex inhibition?
526: RI produces decreased activation level of alpha motor neuron pool at the ventral horn- delayed muscle activation as a result of increased time taken by motor neurons to reach threshold for activation.
527: How did Richardson et al 1999 test RI in quads?
527: Fluid of 25 cc in knee joint causes RI of VMO.
Fluid of 55 cc in knee joint causes RI of entire quad.
RI linked to joint effusion, pain, ligament stretch and capsular compression.
528: How does this effect RI?
528: Lowering the excitability of the alpha motor neuron pool.
529: What did Stokes and Young 1984 feel the reduction of alpha motor neuron excitability is due to?
529: Afferent discharge from joint structure.
530: Does the TrA involve a joint structure?
530: No, therefore RI likely does not affect TrA.
531: What could the changes be related to?
531: 1. in response to anticipated pain
2. in response to experimental pain
3. issue w/motor planning
532: Who demonstrated altered timing with experimental pain?
532: Hodges & Moseley 2003
533: How did they demonstrate altered timing of TrA and LM?
533: Pain free subjects were shocked to the back that were unpredictable to time and amplitude. Even the fear of the pain caused a delay.
534: Who used transcranial magnetic stimulation to show the effect of delayed TrA in the brain?
534: Tsao 2008 changes from vertex at cortical level.
