Q

How does ankle sprain affect the IT band?

A

It draws the fibular head inferiorly and posteriorly. If held in this position, it increases tension in the ITB, which will result in pelvic side shift.

Q

How is fascia important to muscle function?

A

It allows it to function by creating a surface on which to glide, and also by coalescing with muscles to form tendons and entheses

Q

What is the primary goal of STT?

A

RELAX hypertonic musculature
STRETCH shortened, fibrotic, and inelastic fascia

25
What are the secondary effects of STT?
INCREASE circulation | IMPROVE tissue nutrition, oxygenation, and removal of metabolic wastes
26
What are the tertiary effects of STT?
STIMULATE stretch reflex in "hypotonic" muscles DECREASE abnormal somato-visceral and somato-somatic reflexes POTENTIATE other techniques
27
How does cervical direct myofascial release alter sympathovagal balance?
It shifts it from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance
28
What is fascial creep?
Heat causes collagen to alter its structure; as this occurs, any pressure will cause it to stretch, or "creep."
29
What is soft tissue end-feel?
The sensation provided to palpating fingers near the end of the ROM for the tissue being evaluated
30
What is the end feel for hypertonic musculature?
Soft, but firm
31
What is the end feel for fascial restriction?
The end feel is more abrupt than it is for musculature
32
What are direct and indirect techniques?
Direct: moving toward restriction Indirect: moving away from restriction and toward ease of movement
33
What is the difference between STT and myofascial release?
STT is direct | MR can be direct or indirect
34
What are the contraindications for STT and DMRT?
There are NO absolute contraindications. But use caution and alter position or style if needed
35
What specific conditions may warrant alteration of STT/DMRT techniques?
Ankle sprain or strain Osteoporosis Breast implants
36
What style of technique should be used for ankle sprain/strain?
Indirect
37
How should techniques be altered for osteoporosis?
For osteoporosis in the thoracocostal region: Prone pressure techniques are contraindicated. Switch to lateral recumbent techniques.
38
What style of technique should be used for acute injuries? Chronic injuries? Acute excaerbation of chronic injuries?
Acute is a buzzword: use indirect. | For chronic, use direct.
39
What are the differences in pressure for STT vs. MR?
STT: intermittent, repetitive, rhythmic MR: sustained
40
What anomalies can occur in any region of the spine?
``` Block vertebrae Other failure of segmentation anomalies Hemi vertebrae Spina bifida occulta Hemangioma vertebra ```
41
At what age is surgical reconfiguration of the spine for anterior vertebral agenesis no longer an option?
>25
42
How does a block vertebra form? Do these patients have a ROM restriction?
Failure of segmentation. No ROM restriction, the body adapts to the abnormality.
43
What is typical treatment for a hemivertebra?
Surgical excision during early childhood; OMT
44
Why are hemangioma vertebrae usually incidental findings? What can they be treated with?
They are rarely symptomatic. | If symptomatic, treat with radiation therapy
45
What is the characteristic appearance of hemangioma vertebra?
Striation
46
Which vertebra is subject to a greater number of anomalies than any other bone?
L5
47
What other anomaly is generally associated with lumbar anomalies?
Skin anomalies. Common ones are hairy nevus (Faun's beard), pigmented nevus, lipomatous mass, dermal sinus.
48
What are examples of lumbar anomalies?

What is the most common anomaly in the lumbar region?
Zygapophyseal tropism
51
What is the most common facet tropism?
One or both facet joints at L5/S1 turn toward coronal plane
52
What is occult spina bifida?
"Hidden" spina bifida. If the spinous process is not there for the supraspinous lilgament to attach to, then the ligament itself may be congenitally absent at that segment.
53
What is diastematomyelia?
Cleft spinal cord - cord is split in two by a mass of fibrous tissue or bone attached to the vertebral body anteriorly and to the lamina or dura posteriorly
54
What is the most common location of diastematomyelia?
Lumbar spine, but has been reported as high as T3

What are the symptoms of diastematomyelia?
Progressive neurologic deficits in the LEs | Child fails to walk normally, or starts normally and then develops a gait disturbance
56
What are the physical findings of diastematomyelia?

Surgical repair
58
What are some examples of cervical anomalies?
``` Swan neck deformity Transitional cranio-cervical segment Cervical ribs Klippel-Feil syndrome Syringomyelia Torticollis ```
59
What are associated symptoms of cervical ribs?
There are none. Symptoms are usually a result of postural abnormalities associated with cervical ribs, such as acquired kyphosis.
60
What type of treatment is best avoided with cervical ribs?
Direct HVLA
61
Klippel-Feil syndrome
Multiple cervical vertebral anomalies (fusions) lead to pterygium colli (webbed neck) with low hairline, very limited ROM, hemivertebrae common

Klippel-Feil
66
Hypoplasia or absence of the dens can occur in what condition?
Achondroplasia
67
Which somatic dysfunctions can cause increased lordosis?
``` Cervical extended segments Thoracic flexed segments Lumbar extended segments Anterior inominate rotation Sacral flexed dysfunctions: --Bilaterally flexed --Unilaterally flexed --Anterior sacral torsion ```
68
Lateral mid-gravity line
Should be straight between L3 and sacral promontory
69
Fergusen's angle
Normal: 30-40 degrees
70
Mitchell's angle
125 to 145 degrees
71

What is lordosis?
An abnormal extension deformity of the spine
