CP midterm Flashcards
patterns which alternate in direction from area to area. ex left-rigth-left-right, CoC1 joint
compensated posture patterns
patterns that do not alternate, typicaly the result of trauma ( leg length modifiicaion, heel lift)
uncompensated posture patterns
gastroc, soleus, tib post, hip add, hams, rectus femoris, iliopsoas, tl fascia, quadratus lumborum, piriformis, erector spinae, lats, c/s extensors, pecs, upper traps, levator scap, scm, subocc, arm flexors, scalenes
muscle prone to hyperactivity
peronei, tib ant, vastus med and later, glutes, rectus abdom, serr ant, traps low and med, deep cerv flexors, upper limb exten, scalenes, rhomboids
muscles prone to hypoactivity
muscles that exhibit low levels of continuous contraction
tonic muscles
contract faster, are for movement
phasic muscles
muscles will shorten when stressed
postural/stabilizing muscles
muscles will become weak when stressed
phasic muscles
specific adaptation to imposed demands
SAID
MUSCLES SHORTEN: pects, upper traps, levator scap, scm
MUSCLES WEAKEN: low/mid trap, serratus ant, rhomboids, deep neck flexors
UPPER CROSSED SYNDROME
forward head carriage, lower c/s and t/s will be stressed, rotation and abduction of scap,
consequences of upper trap
referred pain to chest, shoulders, arms, tmj and facia pain. poor breathing
consequences of upper crossed
MUSCLES TIGHTEN: hip flexors; iliopsoas, rect fem, tfl, add, erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, piriformis,
MUSCLES THAT WEAKEN: abdominal and glutes
LOWER CROSS
anterior pelvic tilt, >lordosis, decreased trunk stability, instability at t/l junction
consequences of lowered cross
stance phase; heel strike, flat foot, mid stance, heel off, toe off
60%
SWING PHASE: acceleration, mid swing, deceleration
