Musculoskeletal Part Twenty Flashcards
Examples of nonnarcotic analgesics
Acetaminophen
Tylenol
Procedure for contract-relax stretching
Limb moved to a position that causes stretch to contractile and inert tissues
After full relaxation, limb moves to a new position of stretch
Fryette’s Law 2
If the segment is in full flexion or extension with the facets locked, rotation and side bending in the same direction
Examples of muscle relaxants
Cyclobenzapine HCl
Flexeril
CTs are especially useful for what parts of the body
Chest and abdomen
Grade 1 mobilizations
Small amplitudes
Beginning of end range
Procedure for muscle energy technique
Joint is positioned in inter barrier zone
Gentle isometric contraction followed by full relaxation
For injuries, when should compression, elevation, and cryotherapy be performed (time-wise)
48-72 hours following injury
Grade 4 mobilizations
Small amplitude
Into tissue resistance
Fryett’s Law 3
If motion is introduced into a segment in any plane, motion in the other planes are reduced
Before manipulating the cervical spine, what should always be performed
Vertebral artery test
What is contract-relax stretching
A maximum isometric contraction against the clinician followed by complete relaxation of muscle fibers
Cold application causes vaso….
Vasoconstriction
What is the interbarrier zone for a muscle energy technique
Prior to a muscle barrier within the normal AROM of the body part
Side effects of narcotic agents
Hypotension
Bradycardia
Respiratory depression
Nausea
Vomiting
Constpiatiomm
Dizziness
Light-headed ness
Physical dependence
Fryette’s Law 1
If lumbar/thoracic segments are in neutral without locking the facets, rotation is in opposite direction of side-bending
Grade 2 mobilization
Larger amplitudes
Mid-range
Purpose of grade 3 mobs
Maintain joint mobility
Disadvantages to bone scan
Slow (takes one hour)
Potential adverse reaction of contrast
Grade 3 mobilizations
Large oscillations
Performed through available range into resistance
ABCs of radiographs
Alignment
Bone density
Cartilage space
Aside from metabolic activity, what can bone scans do well
Identify stress fractures and tumors that aren’t detected on x-ray
Side effects of muscle relaxants
Drowsiness
Lethargy
Ataxia
Decreased alertness
If cold therapy is applied for more than 20 minutes, what happens
Vasodilation
