Static palpation parameters
Osseous landmarks Topographical anatomy Sudoriferous changes Muscle tonicity / turgidity (edema) Tissue prominency Palpatory tenderness
Static Palpation gives insight about Kinesiopathology through
Position / Motions
Ex: palpating a misaligned structure
Static Palpation gives insight about Myopathology with
tonicity
Static Palpation gives insight about Hisopathology with
Cytological / inflammation / edema
Static Palpation gives insight about Neuropathology with _____
STARRED POINT ON SLIDE
Moisture changes on skin surface
Sclerotogenous pain provocation (subjective)
Static Palpation gives insight to which of the PART system?
P- pain and tenderness
A- Asymmetry
T- Tissue / Tone changes
Static palpation is best used before instrumentation. T/F
False - best used after
Static Palpation Levels of pressure (lease to most invasive)
Active light touch 1. Sudoriferous 2. Turgidity 3. Surface Tonicity Deep touch 4. Tissue Prominency 5. Palpatory Tenderness 6. Deep Tonicity changes
Sudoriferous changes test _____________ function
Endocrine
Eccrine glands are all over integument and secrete sweat for thermal regulation
Suderiferous changes acute vs chronic VSC
Acute: oily, greasy, sweaty, clammy, tacky
Chronic: Dry, scaly, flaky, rough
Pressure can be applied to what structures to identify palpatory tenderness?
**SPINOUS PROCESSES
**Transverse processes
Zygapophyseal joints
Costal articulations
Mamillary processes
Pertaining to ligament, tendon, disc, periosteal, or zygapophyseal structures:
Sclerotogenous
Strum paraspinal muscles to find
Deep tonicity changes
Myotogenous pain is determined only by provocation T/F
F
Not determined by provocation only
