Q

Elastic barrier

A

Range between physiologic and anatomic barrier of motion in which passive ligamentous stretching occurs before tissue disruption

34
Q

Restrictive barrier

A

Functional limit within anatomic range of motion

Abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range

35
Q

Restrictions of motion in the spine cause ____

A

Reduced efficiency
Impaired flow of fluid
Altered nerve fxn
Structural imbalance

36
Q

Excessive motion (restriction) is in reference to the vertebra ____ in a functional vertebral unit

A

Above

I.e. excess motion of L2 is the motion of L2 on L3

37
Q

Describe Type I mechanics

A 
TONGO
Type One
Neutral
Grouped 
Opposite sides (i.e RrSl or RlSr)
38
Q

Type II mechanics

A 
TTOSS
Type Two
nOt neutral
Single segment (not grouped)
Same direction (RrSr, RlSl)
39
Q

Fryette’s Principles

A

Type 1 mechanics
Type 2 Mechanics
Fryette’s Third Principle

40
Q

Fryette’s 3rd principle

A

Initiating movement of a vertebral segment in any plane of motion will modify the movement of that segment in other planes of motion

If movement is restricted in one direction, motion will be restricted in other directions

If movement is improved in one direction, motion will improve in other directions

41
