Theories Flashcards
nerve compression theory was developed by who
DD palmer
what is the nerve compression theory
what change does this produce
STRUCTURAL change leads to altered transmission of nerves which causes SYSTEMIC pathological changes in the body
altered TONE
subluxation results in altered nerve transmission of nerve energy which alters entire body TONE
what is stills theory
body fluids cause somatic dysfunction
what is the axoplasmic aberration theory
what change does this produce
LOCAL change that causes a nerve or plexus to have less protein supply in the micro tubular network
results in WALLERIAN DEGENERATION and local tissue death (Hilton)
who made up the neurodystrophic aka neuroimmunomodulation theory
SELYE
what is the neurodystrophic or neuroimmunomodulation theory
what change does this produce
STRESS causes altered neuroendocrine function (a lot of CORTISOL)
Decreases immunity and FIXATIONS around T1-L1 - (motor spillover)
what was Korrs theory
what change does this produce
altered gamma gain - steady state muscle spindle -
fixation in thoracic spine causes hypersympatheticotonia which causes facilitation of MUSCLE SPINDLES
muscle deafferentation - muscles stop providing information to the brain so brain freaks out and tightens muscles
what is gamma gain
steady state spindle - Korrs work
muscle contraction occurs when chemicals are present that can influence nerve stimulation
muscle spindles help develop what in the muscle
resistance
what are the 2 things that can alter steady state of spindles
who proposed this theory of muscle spindles
Korr
- abrupt approximation of two muscle attachments - SPASM
- unanticipated giving way during isometric contraction
both cause muscle slack so CNS causes increase in gamma discharge to cause spasm
what is the proprioceptive insult theory
what change does this produce
asymmetrical
joint increase afferents with the CNS - talk more
caused by misuse, overuse in joint mechanoreceptors
produce spasm only
what is the fixation theory
who proposed this
Korr
aka segmental facilitation or impulse theory
lessened mobility -> aberrant reflex –> segmental facilitation –> soft tissue aberrations
no CNS involvement - REFLEX
micro tubular transmission
theory?
AXT
decreased immunity and neuromuscular tone
theory?
Neurodystrophic
irritated joint receptors after falling in a park
theory?
Proprioceptive insult
