What is the sequence of the quick stretch reflex?
- stretching (via muscle contraction) stimulates the muscle spindle (intrafusal) - within the spinal cord the sensory neuron activates the alpha motor neuron (monosynaptic)
205
The alpha motor neuron stimulates the muscle (extrafusal) to do what?
contract and to resist the stretch
206
Quick Stretch Reflex follows which 4 actions?
- Muscle is stretched - Muscle spindle afferent to spinal cord - Monosynaptic - Alpha motor neuron stimulates agonist
207
What has the following characteristics?... • reflex response from muscle spindles • inhibits the muscle opposite the contracted muscle
Reciprocal Inhibition (reciprocal innervation)
208
What is a function of Reciprocal Inhibition?
it induces inhibition (relaxation) of an antagonist so that the agonist can contract and cause joint movement
209
What is the sequence of reciprocal inhibition?
- Muscle is stretched - Muscle spindle afferent to spinal cord - Inhibitory interneuron relaxes antagonist
210
What characteristics involve... • reflex response from Golgi tendon organs • an inhibitory response to a muscle that develops too much tension… either via shortening or lengthening
Autogenic Inhibition
211
What are the functions of Autogenic Inhibition …
- guards against potential injury to a muscles' fibers | - muscle relaxation reduces tension applied to the muscle and tendons and protects them from damage
212
What is the sequence of Autogenic Inhibition?
- GTO stretched - Ib afferent - Inhibitory interneuron relaxes agonist - Excitatory interneuron contracts antagonist
213
Several clinical techniques to relax or facilitate muscles utilize which 3 techniques?
- Quick Stretch - Autogenic Inhibition - Reciprocal Inhibition reflexes
214
The following techniques taught in the Naturopathic Manipulative Therapeutics (NMT) class sequence are based on which reflexes…
- Post-isometric Relaxation - Muscle Energy technique - Strain-Counterstrain
215
Which reflexes have the following characteristics? • part of a routine orthopedic and neurological examination • test the integrity of the components of the simple reflex arc and contributes to determining if there is a lower motor neuron lesion or an upper motor neuron lesion
Deep Tendon Reflexes (DTRs)
216
What describes the motion that occurs between the articular surfaces of joints?
Arthrokinematics
217
Most joint surfaces are curved with one surface being relatively convex and the other relatively concave ________… curved or rounded outward ________… hollowed or rounded inward
Convex; Concave
218
The convex-concave relationship has which 4 characteristics?
* increases contact surface area of the joint * contributes to increased joint stability * increases dissipation of contact forces * helps guide motion between the bones
219
What are the 5 movements that occur between joint surfaces?
- Roll - Slide - Spin - Distraction and Longitudinal Traction - Compression
220
Which joint movement resembles a tire rotating (rolling) across the pavement; multiple points along one rotating articular surface contact multiple points on another articular surface?
Roll
221
Which joint movement resembles a stationary tire sliding on a stretch of icy pavement; a single point on one articular surface contacts multiple points on another articular surface?
Slide (glide)
222
Which joint movement has joint surfaces being pulled apart?
Distraction and Longitudinal Traction
223
Which joint movement resembles a spinning top on one spot on the floor; a single point on one articular surface rotates on a single point on another articular surface … rotates around a stationary longitudinal mechanical axis?
Spin
224
Which joint movement is a decrease in the space between two joint surfaces?
Compression
225
Roll occurs under which 3 circumstances?
- in the direction of movement - occurs on incongruent (unequal) surfaces - usually occurs in combination with sliding or spinning
226
When a mobilization technique is applied to produce a slide in the joint it is referred to as a _______.
glide
227
What is an example of sliding?
carpal bones sliding along their facet surfaces
228
What term describes the relationship of rolling and sliding motion within a joint when one joint surface is convex and the other surface is concave?
Convex-on-Concave and Concave-on-Convex Rule
229
Which motion indicated when the concave side of a joint is stabilized (anchored) and the convex joint surface slides (glides) in the opposite direction as it rolls?
Convex-on-concave motion
230
Which motion is indicated when the convex side of a joint is stabilized (anchored) and the concave joint surface slides (glides) in the same direction as it rolls?
Concave-on-convex motion
231
What is the clinical significance of the Convex-Concave Rule?
These rules serve as a basis for joint mobilization techniques
232
According to the Convex-Concave Rule, mobilizing a joint to restore movement requires that the clinician do what to the joint which facilitates (restore) the natural arthrokinematic motions at the joint.
apply external forces
233
What is the term for movement of bones done voluntarily (osteokinematics)?
Physiological Movements
234
What is the name given to the arthrokinematic movements within the joint and surrounding tissues that are necessary for normal joint range of motion, but cannot be performed voluntarily, they are necessary for full range of physiological motion to occur and ligament and joint capsule limitations (tightness) cause movement restrictions or aberrant joint motion.
Accessory Movements
235
What is the term for motions that occur within the joint but only as a response to an outside force, it is determined by joint capsule's laxity and can be demonstrated passively, but not performed actively.
Joint play
236
What is the term for a way to interpret and measure joint play movements?
End-feel
237
True/False: According to the Convex-Concave Rule, treatment often combines facilitation of physiological mobilization (osteokinematic) and accessory movements (arthrokinematic) to restore a particular joint movement.
True
238
Follow the Convex-Concave Rule to restore what, which will increase pain-free joint range of motion?
normal joint play
