Q

what is the taping technique for muscle relaxation/inhibition?

A

tape is applied starting at the muscle’s functional insertion and ends at the origin

when tape is applied with shrinkage opposite the direction of muscle contraction, it helpes to inhibit muscle tone

Q

what is the taping technique for facilitation or support of muscle function?

A

tape is anchored at the muscle origin, surrounds the muscle belly, and ends at the insertion

when tape shrinkage occurs in the direction of muscle contraction it will aid in supporting a weak muscle

Q

what is the taping technique to facilitate joint alignment?

A

tape crosses over the joint with stretch taken out serving as an external support tjo an injured or weakened ligament

tape stretched acorss a joint overlying the weakened ligament will create external support

Q

when a concave surface is mobilized on a convex surface, in which direction does the concave surface glide?

Q

What are “accessory movements” of a joint?

A

accessory movements occur between two articulating surfaces and are described as rolling, spinning, and gliding.

These are different from “physiological movements,” which are the movements performed voluntarily by the patient, including flexion, extension, abduction, rotation, etc.

Q

what role does the coracohumeral ligament play?

A

originates from the lateral border of the coracoid and travels obliquely to the greater tubercle of the humerus giving stability to the GH joint when the arm is in adduction and, therefore, when it is tight it will limit external rotation

Q

what is the transverse humeral ligament?

A

attaches to the greater and lesser tubercles of the shoudler and maintains the bicep in the bicipital groove

Q

what is the maximal loose-packed position (MLPP) as described by Kaltenborn?

A

in the MLPP the greatest amount of joint play is possible; thus, the assessment of joint play and treatment are performed in this position.

Q

what is the close-packed position as described by Kaltenborn?

A

in the close-packed position, there is maximum contact between the concave and convex articular surfaces; therefore, the least amount of joint play is available.

Q

what happens in the muscle after a muscle laceration?

A

two segments of muscle heal by dense scar formation
muscle does not regenerate across scar
muscle segment isolated from motor point loses its innervations
muscle loses ability to generate tension (contraction)

Q

according to Travell, what is one of the “workhorses” of myofascial therapy?

A

stretch and spray

sudden cold and tactile stimulation inhibit pain and reflex motor responses. With these CNS responses inhibited, relaxation takes place and allow for increased stretching and muscle lengthening

Q

what is focal hand dystonia?

A

musculoskeletal disorder that often occurs as a result of repetitive, rapid, or skilled movements. Prenents as pain, cramping, or involuntary muscle contractions and is also knowns as occupational hand cramps, writer’s cramp, or musician’s cramp.

17
Q

how is the Modified Weeks Test (MWT) performed?

A

by assessing the change in PROM pre and post treatment after tissues are pre-conditioned with moist heat and exercise.

Improvement 20* or greater = no orthosis
15* = static orthosis
10* = dynamic orthosis
0-5* improvement = use static progressive orthosis

18
Q

what are the 3 phases of plyometric exercise?

A

Plyometrics consist of 3 phases:
Eccentric pre-stretch (loading) phase.
Amortization (coupling or time to rebound) phase.
Concentric shortening (rebound) phase.

19
Q

what is the Kaltenborn grading scale of Hypermobility

A

The grading scale is 0-6 with 0=No movement (Ankylosis); 3=Normal; 6=Complete instability
