18
Q

RPP for Splenius Capitis & Cervicis

A

Top of head, middle of coronal suture, posterior to the suborbital margin, trunk & shoulder

19
Q

Action of Temporalis

A

Clenches teeth

20
Q

Travel & Simmons definition of trigger points

A

hyper-irritable spot in skeletal muscle associated w/ hypersensitive palpable nodule in taut band. Spot painful on compression & can give referred pain, referred tenderness, motor dysfunction & autonomic phenomena.

21
Q

Biomechanics of injury for Latissimus Dorsi

A

Activities requiring repetitive extension, adduction & internal rotation of shoulder (some types of swimming)

22
Q

PSS for Teres major

A

pain in the superior Acomion area

23
Q

Origin & Insertion for Pectoralis minor

A

Origin - Anterior surface of 3-5 ribs Insertion - Coracoid process of scapula

24
Q

to myofascially stretch Latissimus Dorsi you must

A

do shoulder abduction to 180 degrees & external rotation

25
Q

The positive stretch sign (PSS) of pain in superior acromion area indicates dysfunction in what muscles

A
  • Latissimus dorsi - Teres major - Subscapularis - Deltoid
26
Q

Biomechanics of injury for Subclavius

A

Direct trauma & clavicular fracture

27
Q

Action of Pectoralis minor

A

raises ribs & forced inspiration

28
Q

Origin & insertion of Subscapularis

A

Origin - Subscapular fossa on costal surface of scapula Insertion - Lesser tubercle of humerus & tendon attaches to fibrous capsule of shoulder joint

29
Q

pain when trying to button a skirt or bra indicates dysfunction in what muscle

A

Infraspinatus

30
Q

surrounds each muscle fiber, tendon, bone, nerve & vessel in body

A

connective fascial tissue

31
Q

role of sarcoplasmic reticulum

A

storage of calcium necessary for muscle contraction

32
Q

functional unit of motor nervous system

A

motor neuron

33
Q

3 causes of micro trauma

A

over shortening over stretching over loading

34
Q

chemical used as energy source for muscle contraction

35
Q

Symptoms associated with myofascial trigger points b/c of nociceptive substances

A
  • Referred pain - Burning sensation - Occasional pain - Tenderness on involved muscle
36
Q

best explanation of pain

A

Pain is fear expressed by all living creatures with pain receptors…

37
Q

components of successful, appropriate, accurate treatment of client

A
  • Treatment done consistently - Method of treatment - hand placement - degree of stretching - position of myofascial stretching
38
Q

Myofascial trigger point can be found

A

anywhere w/in muscle belly & pathological mechanism resides in dysfunctional endplates

39
Q

MTP that produces pain w/o digital compression, tender upon palpation, produces RPP, impedes flexibility, produces muscle weakness, & may elicit LTR is?

40
Q

The consequences of body’s fight against gravity

A

Muscle microtrauma and trigger points
