Techniques Flashcards
Muscle energy for treatment of an exhalation dysfunction of the second rib engages what muscle?
posterior scalene
Muscle energy for treatment of an exhalation dysfunction of the first rib engages what muscle?
The anterior and middle scalene
Physiologic barrier
the point at which a patient can actively move a joint
anatomic barrier
the point to which a physician can passively move a joint
pathologic barrier
lies before the physiologic barrier and will prevent full range of motion.
The restriction of joint motion is associated with a pathological change of tissues
restrictiv barrier
lies before the physiologic barrier and prevents a full range of motion.
this indicates a somatic dysfunction of the joint
What is the position of the radial head if there is a restriction in supination?
If there is a restriction in supination, the position of ease is pronation with a posterior radial head. This happens after a fall forward.
What is the counterstrain treatment position for a PC1 occiput tenderpiont?
PC1 occiput tenderpoint is located on the inferior nuchal line midway between the inion and the mastoid on the splenius capitis
the treatment positionfor PC1 occiput is:
Extension of the OA, mild compression of the head, slight side-bending and rotation away
What is the correct position for counterstrain of the PC1 inion?
the PC1 inion tenderpoint is located on the inferior nuncal line lateral to the inion.
The correct position for treatment with counterstrain is
flexion, sid-bend toward, rotate away
(flex- STAR)
What is the counterstrain treatment position for a PC2 occiput tenderpiont?
The PC2 occiput tenderpoint is located on the inferrior nuchal line within the semispinalis capitis muscle.
The counterstrain treatment position for PC2 occiput is the same as PC1 occiput
Extension of the OA, mild compression of the head, slight side bending and rotation away
What is the counterstrain treatment position for a PC2 midline spinous process tenderpiont?
The PC2 midline spinous process tenderpoint is located superior or superior lateral tip of the C2 spinous process.
The counterstrain treatment position is the same as for PC1 and PC2
extension of OA, mild compression of the head, slight side-bending and rotation away
What is the counterstrain treatment position for a PC3 midline spinoustenderpiont?
The PC3 midline spinous process tenderpoint is inferior or inferolateral tip of the C2 spinous process.
The treatment position is to flex, side-bend away, rotate away
