- Cardiovascular health (long term patients)

A

Diabetes

35
Q

We must consider tissue _________ when treating patients with a connective tissue disorder because it can contribute to hyper/hypomobility.

A

Tissue Fragility

36
Q

We must consider ___________ that a patient is taking and how it could impact patient feedback and tissue fragility.

A

Medications

37
Q

With __________ impairments, the tissues can be altered with manual therapy and remedial exercise to improve function/mechanics.

A

38
Q

When patients present with __________ impairments, treatment goals should be to normalize tissues and optimize function.

A

Functional Impairments

39
Q

When patients present with __________ impairments, there can and should be a defined treatment plan resulting in full resolution and discharge of the patient.

A

Functional Impairments

40
Q

With __________ impairments, there are permanent changes to the tissues that cannot be altered with manual therapy.

A

Structural Impairments

41
Q

When patients present with __________ impairments, treatment goals shift to managing symptoms and maintaining tissue health/mobility.

A

Structural Impairments

42
Q

When patients present with __________ impairments, treatment planning tends to be long term/ongoing ‘maintenance’ treatments as opposed to ‘fixing’ a problem.

Structural Impairments

43
Q

As we age, the soft tissues and joints slowly but surely begin to __________.

A

Degenerate

44
Q

Osteoarthritis, disc degenerations and tendinopathies are considered _______ and sometimes structural impairments that often can’t be ‘fixed.’

A

45
Q

T/F - It is common to develop short term treatment plans for patients with osteoarthritis.

A

False - It is common to develop LONG term treatment plans for patients with osteoarthritis.

46
Q

T/F - When developing a treatment plan for a patient with osteoarthritis, we want to focus on managing their symptoms and maintaining their functionality as much as possible.

A

True

47
Q

T/F - Despite the fact that we can’t ‘fix’ some patients, massage therapy can still play a significant role in their long term health, wellness and functionality.

A

True

48
Q

Functionally, we live our our lives in a ______ attachment fixed scenario when our feet are on the ground during standing or gait.

A

Distal Attachment

49
Q

No joint functions in _________ due to the interdependent nature of the joints in the body.

A

Isolation

50
Q

T/F - You are able to isolate hip flexion from knee flexion and dorsiflexion when performing a squat from a standing position.

A

False - You are NOT able to isolate hip flexion from knee flexion and dorsiflexion when performing a squat from a standing position.

51
Q

The joints of the lower extremity function as a _____, therefore we need to consider the joints _____ and _____.

A

Chain
Above and Below

52
Q

Every joint requires a balance of _________ and ________ to allow for efficient movement, but will have a primary need for one or the other.

A

Stability and Mobility

53
Q

A joint’s _______ need is determined by a number of factors including:
- Planes of movement
- Articulation
- Amount of static and dynamic stabilizers (e.g. ligaments, muscles, etc.)

A

Primary Need

54
Q

Joints will typically _________ in their primary need in order for us to have the capacity for a large ____, while offering us the stability we need to control that movement.

A

Alternate
ROM

55
Q

T/F - If a joint’s primary need is not fulfilled, it will not affect any other joints.

A

False - If a joint’s primary need is not fulfilled, it will BE PICKED UP BY other joints.

56
Q

Which colour represents mobile joints compared to stable joints in the human body?

A

Red = Stable
Blue = Mobile

57
Q

If a mobile joint has lost ________ due to postural dysfunction or injury, the brain will still achieve a given movement pattern by gaining ________ at another joint above or below.

A

Mobility

58
Q

T/F - When mobility is lost at a joint, extra movement will likely be found at a mobile joint.

A

False - When mobility is lost at a joint, extra movement will likely be found at a STABLE joint because joints alternate in their primary need.

59
Q

A joint can lack _________ due to:
- Compensatory action
- Lack of static/dynamic supporters
- Muscular weakness
- Previous injury
- Poor endurance
- Neural inhibition
- Poor proprioception

A

Stability

60
Q

If a stable joint lacks stability, there will be a lack of _______ during movement and __________ actions can occur at the joint in question or at a joint above or below.

A

Lack of Control
Substitue Actions
