Q

Mackenzie’s Three Syndrome

A

Postural, Dysfunction, Derangement

22
Q

● Normal healthy tissues
● Pain is induced by end-range
static loading
● Pain is not referred and never
constant

A

Postural Syndrome

23
Q

● Shortened soft tissues have
reduced elasticity
● Pain at end-range when
shortened tissues are tensed
● Pain is never felt on movement
and is not referred

A

Dysfunction Syndrome

24
Q

● Misalignment of IV disc
materials/bony misalignment
● Symptoms are affected by
movement
● May be referred and often are
constant

A

Derangement Syndrome

25
Q

Factors affecting Posture

A
  • Bony contours
  • Laxity of ligamentous structures
  • Fascial and musculocutaneous tightness
  • Muscle tone
  • Pelvic angle (Normal 30 degrees)
  • Joint position and mobility
  • Neurogenic outflow and inflow
26
Q

Importance of Good Posture

A
  • Protects the joints and other structures from injury
  • Promotes good muscle balance and flexibility
  • Allow greater precision and endurance in performing a task
  • Allows for adequate respiration
27
Q

Dangers of Poor Posture

A
  • Predisposes the soft tissue and the spinal structures and even the
    organ systems to injury
  • May block food and air passages
  • May cause joint and bone degeneration
28
Q

normal anterior and posterior curves of the spine for proper balance and alignment

A

● Cervical lordosis
● Thoracic kyphosis
● Lumbar lordosis

29
Q

Importance of Biomechanics

A
  • Conserves energy
  • Reduces the stress and strain to muscles, joints, ligaments and soft tissue
  • Promote effective, efficient, and safe movements
  • Promote and maintain proper body control and balance
  • Promote effective, effective respiratory and cardiopulmonary
    function
30
Q

Principles of Biomechanics

A
  • Mentally and physically plan for the activity
  • Position self close to the object to be moved; stoop or squat to lift
  • Maintain the vertical gravity line within the object’s BOS to maintain stability and balance; widen BOS
  • Position COG close to the object’s COG to improve efficiency and
    control
  • Use major muscles of the extremities and trunk to perform movements of activities
  • Roll, push, pull or slide an object rather than lifting it
