Q

What are 3 mistakes made with MET?

A
  1. Inaccurate diagnosis
  2. Improperly localized force
  3. Forces that are too strong
20
Q

What are the patient mistakes in MET?

A
  1. Too much force
  2. Contract wrong direction
  3. Don’t hold the contraction long enough
  4. Don’t relax appropriately after contraction
21
Q

What are the therapist mistakes in MET

A
  1. Not controlling the joint position in relation to the barrier
  2. Counterforce in wrong direction
  3. Not giving proper instructions
  4. Moving to a new position too fast after contraction
22
Q

What are the two main differences between isometric and isotonic

A
  1. Light to mod force vs. Hard to maximal contraction
  2. Unyielding counterforce vs. Counterforce permitting controlled motion
23
Q

What are the 8 steps of MET

A
  1. Structural diagnosis
  2. Localization to restrictive barrier
  3. Unyielding counterforce
  4. Appropriate patient effort (amount, direction, duration)
  5. Complete relaxation
  6. Repositioning to a new restrictive barrier
  7. Repeat steps 3-6, 3-5 times
  8. Retest
24
Q

What is the patients appropriate force?

A

20-40%

25
Q

What is the patients appropriate duration of force?

A

3-7s

26
Q

What are the most common public symphysis findings?

A

27
Q

Which muscle may be inhibited with SI problems

A

Glute max

28
Q

What is Fryettes 1st law?

A

In neutral, sidebending and rotation are coupled in opposite directions

29
Q

What is fryettes 2nd Law?

A

In flexion or extension, sidebeningnand rotation are coupled to the same side

30
Q

What is fryettes 3rd law.

A

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