Theory of Altered Reflexes

Question 1

This hypothesis envisions vertebral joint dysfunctions as lesions capable of inducing chronically altered nociceptive and proprioceptive input

Answer 1

FACILITATION

theory of altered somatic and visceral reflexes

Question 2

work of ___ & ____ led to an alternative model of subluxation syndrome–induced, impulse–based neurodysfunction

Answer 2

Earl Homewood

Irwin Korr

Question 3

In theory of FACILITATION, persistent ______ input, driven by mechanical alteration, pain, and potential local inflammation, triggers a segmental cord response, which in turn induces the development of pathologic _______ or ______ reflexes

Answer 3

afferent
somatosomatic
somatovisceral

Question 4

Afferent impulses from one body area can result in reflex activity in other body areas

Answer 4

Somato-Somatic Reflex Hypothesis

Question 5

Afferent impulses in one body area can result in reflex activity in correspondingly innervated visceral organ activity

Answer 5

Somatovisceral Reflex Hypothesis

Question 6

Visceral afferent fibers reflexly cause somatic problems

Answer 6

Viscerosomatic Reflex Hypothesis

Question 7

Visceral afferent impulses results in activation of visceral efferent output of the sympathetic or parasympathetic motor neurons

Answer 7

Viscerovisceral Reflex Hypothesis

Question 8

EX: Segmental muscle hypertoncity that may be associated with joint dysfunction

Answer 8
