Q

What 2 men helped “Tensegrity” in life? What was each man associated with?

A

Q

What are “Tonic” muscles?

A

Postural; usually cross 2 or more joints and when overworked usually respond by increasing tone (tonic response)

17
Q

What are “Phasic” muscles?

A

Psuedoparetic; in postural stress situation, antagonists of postural muscles usually decrease tone (phasic response)

18
Q

Phasic muscles will test how? What kind of situation?

A

Weak (pseudoparetic response). Functional situation

19
Q

Are tonic and phasic muscles antagonists to each other?

A

Yes

20
Q

What is a common cause of chronic lower back pain?

A

Lower-Crossed Syndrome

21
Q

What is Lower-Crossed Syndrome?

A

Tensegrity and neurological mechanisms interacting (PATTERNS for muscles)

22
Q

Will a patient get better without treating the entire postural issue?

A

No; treat postural tensegrity

23
Q

Does a postural change in one region affect posture in all regions?

A

Yes

24
Q

What do you need to do BEFORE trying to strengthen phasic muscles?

A

Stretch/Relax tonic muscles

25
Q

Weak gluteus muscles cause what in Lower Crossed Syndrome?

A

Recurrent sacroiliac joint dysfunction

26
Q

Ligamentous articular strain is often treated using what OMT treatment?

A

Balanced Ligamentous Tension

27
Q

What is the OLD thinking of tensegrity at the micro level?

A

Cell elements are independent of each other

28
Q

NEW way of thinking of tensegrity at micro level?

A

Nucleus, cell wall, and cytoskeleton all physically connected. Integrins cross cell wall and link the cell with the neighboring connective tissue (ECM)

29
Q

Does non-adhesive stress induce a biochemical response?

A

No

30
Q

Who’s research shows mechanotransuction plays a big role in OMT treatment?

A

Paul Standley

31
Q

What about mechanical forces are important?

A

Degree and direction

32
Q

Prolonged stress creates what?

A

Inflammatory interleukins and damaging levels of nitric oxide

33
Q

Biotensegrity provides a conceptual understanding of what?

A

Hierarchical organization of the human body and explains the body’s ability to adapt to change
