Myofascial Release lecture

Question 1

GAG’s

Answer 1

hydrophilic (water loving)

more gags–> more pliable, babies
fewer gags–> elderly, stiffer in joints

Question 2

what does trauma do to fascia

Answer 2

changes composition of fascia

restriction of motion (within joint or muscle)

Question 3

function of fascia

Answer 3

packaging

protection

posturing

passageways

Question 4

true or false

fascia and muscle are anatomically inseparable

Answer 4

TRUE

Question 5

fascial sheaths

Answer 5

carry 75 percent of proprioceptors

Question 6

Creep

Answer 6

myofascial structures repsond to sustained stress forces by undergoing deformation to accomodate load

release of stored kinetic energy

Question 7

hysteresis

Answer 7

after the load is released, the myofascial structures return towards their initial state but never regain their pre-load structure

change in energy content

Question 8

what is impeded by compressive affect of myofascial tissues?

Answer 8

axoplasic flow of nutrients within the peripheral nerves

Question 9

stress

Answer 9

force normalized over the area on which it acts

perpendicular to the cross-section

Question 10

sheer stress is

Answer 10

parallel to the cross-section

Question 11

strain

Answer 11

change in shape due to stress

the resulting deformation

Question 12

stiffness

Answer 12

the ratio of a load to the deformation/strain it causes”tight”

Question 13

compliance

Answer 13

the inverse of stiffness “loose”

Question 14

Wolff’s law

Answer 14

bones and soft tissue tend to deform along the lines of forces placed upon them

Question 15

Hooke’s law

Answer 15

strain/deformation placed on an elastic body is in proportion to the stress placed on it

Question 16

newton’s 3rd law

Answer 16

when 2 bodies interact, the force exerted by the first on the second is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the second

Question 17

Pascell’s

Answer 17

pressure applied to a liquid at rest from any point is transmitted equally in all directions.

Question 18

elastic

Answer 18

material returns to its orginal length or conformation when the stress is removed

Question 19

viscoelastic

Answer 19

nonlinear properties due to viscous nature

magnitude of stress applied is dependent on the rate of loading

stored mechanical energy not completely returned once the stress is removed

Question 20

residual strain

Answer 20

occurs due to reorganization at a molecular level

so after a solid material slowly moves or deforms permanately under the influence of stress–> if that stress is removed the solid material has undergone residual strain

Question 21

tight/loose concept

Answer 21

tight knee—> loose ankle

Question 22

big bandage of fascial continuum model

Answer 22

what?

Question 23

bioenergetic model

Answer 23

what the fuck
