Structural Chapter 2-analysis & Assesment

Question 1

Hilton’s law

Answer 1

Nerve that supplies joint supplies the muscle of the joint and skin over the insertion of those muscles

Question 2

The law of facilitation (reoccurring injuries)

Answer 2

The path of least resistance

When an impulse has passed once through a certain set of neurons to the exclusion of others it will take the same course on future occasions each time getting easier

Question 3

Pfleuglers laws

5 of them

Answer 3

1. The law of unilaterality
2. The law of symmetry
3. The law of intensity
4. The law of radiation
5. The law of generalization

Question 4

Law of unilaterality

Answer 4

Irritation stays on one side

If a mild irritation is applied to one or more sensory nerves, the movement will take place usually on one side only in that side which is irritated

Question 5

The law of symmetry

Answer 5

If your Irritation has increased you can manifest on similar muscles on the other side

If the stimulation is sufficiently increased the motor reaction is manifested not only to the irritated side but also in similar muscles on the opposite side of the body

Question 6

The law of intensity

Answer 6

Reflex movements are usually more intense on the side of irritation and at times the movements of the other side equal them in intensity but they are usually less pronounced

Question 7

Law of radiation

Answer 7

If the excitation continues to increase it is propagated upwards and reactions take place through centrifugal nerves coming from the cord segments higher up

If it hurts more and more the impulses go to the brain and then over to the other side

Question 8

The law of generalization

Answer 8

If the irritation becomes very intense it is propagated in the medulla oblongata, which becomes the focus from which the stimuli radiates to all parts of the cord causing a general contraction of all the muscles of the body

If it hurts really really bad it affects the brain and the brain affects the whole body

Question 9

Randy Schultz law

Answer 9

Week stimuli activate physiological processes; very strong stimuli inhibitor

Question 10

Davis’s law

Answer 10

When muscle ends are brought close together, the pull of tonus is increased, which shortens the muscle, which may even cause hyper trophy; and if muscle ends are separated beyond normal, tonus is lessened or lost, that’s muscle becomes weak

Question 11

Definition of neuromuscular

Answer 11

Treatment to specific areas found within the soft tissue called triggerpoints. These trigger point, when stimulated, produce high levels of neurological activity to other parts of the body.

Question 12

Structural bodywork

Answer 12

A form of massage that focuses on the imbalances of the musculoskeletal system, identification of these and balances and treatment to the length and muscles that are causing these specific and balances. Through treatment of these and balances of soft tissue and muscles can elevate

Question 13

R. I. C. E

Answer 13

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

These are the treatments for an acute injury

Question 14

Neuromuscular therapy history

Answer 14

Paul St. John is the grandfather of neuromuscular massage

Dr. Nimmo what is a chiropractic physician that developed neuromuscular therapy treatments to address the soft tissue pain in the 1950s he so much success in the treatment of soft tissue pain and triggerpoints that began to teach his work to other chiropractor physicians and medical professionals around the country

Paul St. John attended Dr. NemosSeminars
Paul Saint John is known as the grandfather of neuromuscular massage due to his development of treatment protocols for massage therapist with neuromuscular massage

Question 15

History of Rolfing

Answer 15

Structural integration or real thing is a manual therapy type

Consists of 10 series of sessions result in a balanced body against the pole of gravity

Improved human bio mechanical functioning as a whole rather than to treat particular symptoms

Known to be aggressive and painful as therapist must complete treatment within 10 sessions

Question 16

Anatomy trains

Answer 16

Tom Myers
Graduate and pass and structure of the Roth Institute

Developed myofascial treatment for the space between the muscles. The areas that parallel the muscles and can create fixation between the muscles. These fixations can perpetrate distortions and later degenerative process

Developed myofascial treatment

Question 17

Postural kinesiology

Answer 17

Study of how the body posture opposes gravity, whether efficiently or Inefficiently

Question 18

Functional kinesiology

Answer 18

The study of what happens to a bone when a muscle contracts

Question 19

A: assessment
P: plan
