soft tissue and mfr Flashcards
what techniques are directly applied to the muscular and fascial structures of the body and affect the associated neural and vascular elements. improves articular motion. uses force
soft tissue techniques
*directed toward tissues other than skeletal or arthropodal (only muscular or facial and facial parts)
what is in “soft tissue”
fascia muscles organs nerves vasculature lymphatic
fascial anatomy
“diety for the body”
connective tissue with collage and elastin in an amporhous metric of hydrated proteoglycans which mechanically links the collage fiber networks in these structures
T/F fascia is a complete sytem with blood supply, fluid drainage, and innervations
true
what comprises fascia ? what is its function?
irregular dense CT, fibrous elements of varying density
- involved in tissue protection and healing of surrounding systems (macrophages and mast cells)
- provides for mobility and stability of the MSK system
- elastic and contractile (myofibroblasts)
- stabilizes and maintains balance
NOT TENDONS LIGAMENTS OR APONEUROSES
what is pannicular fascia (aka panniculus)
outermost layer of fascia
- derived from somatic mesenchyme
- surrounds the entire body (except orifices}
- outer part is adipise
- inner part is membranous and adherent
what is axial and appendicular fascia (aka investing layer)
internal to the pannicular layer (fused to it)
-surrounds all of the muscles, periosteum of bone, and peritendon of tendons
what is meningeal fascia
surrounds the nervous systeml including the dura
what is visceral fascia
surrounds the body cavities (pleural, pericardial, and peritoneum)
___ of mechanoreceptors in the skin also have fields in loose fascia
___ % of stretch receptors for muscles and balance are in fascia
20%
75% (on 25% in muscle)
T/F fascia has liquid crystal like properties such as piezoelectricity
true
what is viscoelastic material
any material that deforms according to rate of loading and deformity
stress vs strain
stress- force that deforms CT
strain- percentage of deformation of CT
what is hysteresis
energy loss from loading and unloading in CT
*strecting CT to its plastic deformational range will bring about lengthening of the tissue
what is tissue creep
CT that has elongated (deformed) in response to constant load (below failure threshold)
