advanced topics quiz 2

"Body is a unit" involved what?

mine, body, spirit

relationship of structure and function

reciprocally interrelated which means if structure is off then function is off

anatomic barrier

Final barrier imposed by anatomic structure

physiologic barrier

Limit by active Full ROM

restrictive barrier

- Functional limit within anatomic range

- Abnormality diminishes Physiologic Barrier

elastic barrier

Passive Ligamentous stretching between Anatomic and Physiologic barriers

what is somatic dysfunction

- Impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic system

- Positional and motion aspects - Position of the element as determined by palpation, Direction in which motion is freer, Direction in which motion is restricted

how to describe somatic dysfunction

- tenderness

- asymmetry

- restricted ROM

- tissue texture change (Ropy/string (chronic), Boggy (acute), Temperature difference- Warm (acute)- Cool (chronic))

Strain counterstrain does what

- Resetting of the Golgi tendon organ

- Passive release in position of ease

advantages of strain counterstrain

passive, effective

disadvantages of strain counterstrain

time (hold 90 normally and 120 sec ribs), only treating 6 spots/tx

common strain counterstrain points

- Cervical: anterior and posterior cervical change

- Vertebral: both anterior and posterior tender points

- Extremities: Levator scapulae, pectoralis, piriformis, plantar fascia, psoas (inside ASIS)

fascial distortion model how many patterns are learned?

6
