Techniqes

Question 1

Passive, indirect technique that places component of body into a neutral position, diminishing, tissue and joint in all planes. Similar to counter-strain; passive

Answer 1

Faciliated Positional Release

Question 2

What makes FPR different from counterstrain?

Answer 2

FPR has a compressive component and is only held for 3-5 seconds

Question 3

Indirect-Direct technique that uses the setup of FPR (indirect) and then using the pt. anatomy as a long lever uses a force vector carrying a motion via the least resistance toward the restrictive barrier

Answer 3

Still Technique

Question 4

Direct technique that uses muscle contraction of the pt.

Answer 4

Muscle Energy

Question 5

Direct technique that meets the restrictive barrier and then passes through it with a force

Answer 5

HVLA

Answer 6

1) At the level of the transverse vertebrae
2) 1/2 a level down from the transverse vertebrae
3) full segment down from the transverse vertebrae
4) full segment
5) 1/2
6) At transverse vertebrae

Question 7

Counternuate?

Answer 7

1) Posterior rotation of saccrum (extension)

2) Occurs in cranial flexion motion

Question 8

Nuate

Answer 8

Think: Nutation= Nod forward

1) Anterior rotation of sacrum (flexion)
2) Occurs in cranial extension

Question 9

How should the lumbar vertebrae be in a sacral torsion dysfunction?

Answer 9

1) Lumbar should be side bent towards and rotated away compared to motion of sacrum

Question 10

What are the four different sacral motions that occur?
