Soft Tissue Mobilization Flashcards
heat or pressure changes ground substance from a dense gel to a more liquid state in the blank model
thixotropy, gel to sol
ct is a blank substance
colloidal
soft tissue mobilization makes the tissue more blank
mobile
piezo is aka blank
pressure
piezoelectric model says blank exists in crystals
electricity
ct behaes like a blank
crystal
fibroblast and fibroclast activity are influenced by blank
charge
ability to resist flow
viscosity
most substances are stiffer with blank loading rates
higher
substances are less stiff at blank temperatures
higher
losing ground substance results in new blank in the collagen
cross links
receptor for muscle strength and reduces tone of antagonist, increased tone in agonist
muscle spindle
two types of GTOs
GTO, GEO
GTO has a response to muscular blank
contraction
GEOs respond to blank only
strong stretch
pacini receptors respond to blank and are for blank
rapid pressure changes/vibration, proprioception
ruffini receptors respond to blank and result in the inhibition of blank
sustained pressure, sympathetic activity
interstitial receptors respond to blank, and change blank
pressure changes, vasodilation
blank can spontaneously contract
fascia
mobilization to relieve soft tissue from the abnormal grip of tight fascia
myofascial release
myofascial release moves in the localized blank of the restriction
direction
mobilization to loosen adherent fibrous tissue and scar tissue
friction massage
relieve the abnormal grip of tight fascia
myofascial release
connective tissue that surrounds all body tissue
fascia
fascia is composed primarily of blank and a few blank fibers
collagen, elastic
