(62 cards)
Implicit in somatic dysfunction is what?
is that manipulation is appropriate, effective and sufficient to treat it
What criteria is used to diagnose somatic dysfunction
TART
in active ROM, who is active?
patient
in passive ROM, who is passive?
patient
what movements occur in the coronal plane?
shoulder abduction
shoulder adduction
sidebend
cartliginous joints are where
discs between vertebrae
fibrous joints are where
skull articulations
synovial joints
6 kinds
located at extrememties
most joints have a primary motion in…
1 plane
with smaller motions in the other planes
qualities of motion
has
direction
range
quality
what is flexibility
range of motion in a joint
ability to move joints through a complete ROM
static ROM
max ROM a joint can reach with an externally applied force
dynamic ROM
rom a athlete can make and the speed that they do it at.
stiffness
stiffness is REDUCED rom
Is the structure and motion of spinal segments the same for the entire column?
no. it differs SUBSTANTIALLY over the entire spinal column
what is a functional unit
- 2 vertebrae
- assx disc
- neurovascular
- other soft tissue
What area of the spin has the greatest motion?
cervical
What kind of motion does the spine exhibit?
COUPLED motion
What is coupled motion?
an association of motions on one axis with another motion on another axis.
1 motion cannot occur with another occuring
what is linkage?
the relationship of joints with surrounding structures
Linking multiple structures allows what?
increased ROM
If we want to look at a specific joint, what must we do?
isolate that joint to get an accurate measurement and eval
not blocking linkage will result in?
compensation
Can we only test motion at one segment?
no, we can test motion at one segment of globally to include surrounding segments
