Functional Restoration Week 1 Mastery Guide

A set of 50 vocabulary-style flashcards based on functional restoration principles, the structural vs functional approach, and spinal stabilization subsystems.

Structural approach basis

Anatomy and biomechanics

Structural lesions visibility

Imaging or surgery

Structural dysfunction diagnosis

Clinical tests

Structural approach management strategy

Immobilization, surgery, and rehabilitation

Functional approach emphasis

Interactions between systems

Functional lesions observability

Often not directly observable with structural tools

Functional approach primary focus

Function

Janda's integrated systems

Joints, muscles, and the nervous system

Sensorimotor system components

Sensory and motor systems

Muscle function reflection

Reflects the status of the sensorimotor system

Kinetic chain definition

A series of joints working together

Kinetic chain inclusion

Soft tissue, neural, and articular systems

Segmental dysfunction effect

Compensation elsewhere

Tissue overload cause

Increased by compensation

Predictable injury origin

Often results from compensation patterns

Number of Panjabi spinal stabilization subsystems

$$3$$

Passive subsystem contents

Ligaments and discs

Active subsystem primary components

Spinal muscles

Neural subsystem provision

Neuromuscular control

Primary goal of spinal stabilization

Appropriate stability

Stability requirement tasks

Postural, static, and dynamic tasks

Spinal tissue damage factors

Both overload and immobilization

Abnormal loading result

Poor neuromuscular control

Advanced degeneration mobility effect

Hypomobility

Hypomobility consequence

Underuse

Upper Crossed Syndrome

Reflects predictable muscle imbalance

Lower Crossed Syndrome primary region

Lumbopelvic region

Functional restoration primary aim

Restore sensorimotor control

Coordination

A factor also improved by functional restoration

Functional restoration emphasis

Movement quality

Compensation principle

One dysfunction can affect other body regions

Functional Restoration treatment unit

Treat the whole movement pattern

Structural approach diagnostic tools

Imaging or surgery

Functional approach vs structural tools

Functional lesions are often not directly observable with tools like MRI

Janda's triad

Joints, muscles, and the nervous system

Sensorimotor status indicator

Muscle function

Components of the kinetic chain

Soft tissue, neural, and articular systems

Result of dysfunction in one segment

Compensation elsewhere

Compensation and tissue overload

Compensation increases tissue overload

Panjabi's spinal subsystems count

$$3$$

Passive subsystem elements

Ligaments and discs

Active subsystem definition

Consists primarily of spinal muscles

Neuromuscular control source

The neural subsystem

Spinal stability goal

Appropriate stability

Spinal tissue damage triggers

Overload and immobilization

Underuse trigger

Hypomobility

Predictable muscle imbalance syndrome

Upper Crossed Syndrome

Lower Crossed Syndrome target

Lumbopelvic region

Functional restoration coordinate improvement

Improves coordination

Functional Restoration treatment principle

Treat the whole movement pattern
