Question
Answer
key to good or faulty postural alignment   position of the pelvis  
🗑
in pelvic tilt what joints are simultaneously moving   low back and hip joints  
🗑
one hip is higher than the other and the spine curves with convexity toward the low side   lateral tilt  
🗑
muscles which tilt pelvis up and back   rectus abdominus, external obliques & gluteus maximus, hamstrings  
🗑
the hip joint extends and the low back flattens   posterior pelvic tilt  
🗑
muscles which posteriorly tilt pelvis(upward posterior pull)   erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, rectus abdominus  
🗑
what is bad posture caused by   inbalance between muscles  
🗑
what muscle spends alot of its time shortened in both adults and children   iliopsoas  
🗑
muscle often involved in hip and leg pain   gluteus minimus  
🗑
what can you do to glute muscles to massage them   myofascial, stretch, stripping, compression, effleurage, petrissage, friction, scooping  
🗑
treatment for swayback and lordosis   Use pillow under abdomen to open up area, Stretch low back,& hip flexors, Strengthen abdominal & hip extensors  
🗑
contracted muscles treated for swayback and lordosis   Contracted = erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, hip flexors  
🗑
overstretched muscles treated for swayback and lordosis   Overstretched = abdominals, hamstrings  
🗑
usually secondary to kyphosis   lordosis  
🗑
which 2 out of 3 vertebrae areas do people usually complain about   lumbar vertebrae, cervical vertebrae  
🗑
symptoms of disc problems   radiating pain, numbness, muscular atrophy (not coldness)  
🗑
protruded disks   prolapsed, bulging, displaced  
🗑
extruded disks   not-contained, herniation, ruptured  
🗑
Client errors during METS   contraction too hard  
🗑
client errors during METS   contraction in wrong direction  
🗑
client errors in METS   contraction not sustained long enough  
🗑
client errors in METS   contraction not relaxed completely  
🗑
client errors in METS   contraction done too quickly  
🗑
client errors in METS   contraction not a slow build with slow release of all movements  
🗑
therapist error s during METS   inaccurate control of joint  
🗑
therapist errors during METS   muscle position to resistance barrier  
🗑
therapist errors during METS   inadequate counterforce  
🗑
therapist errors during METS   counterforce applied in inappropriate direction  
🗑
therapist errors during METS   moving to new position too hastily (refractory period is usually about 20 sec)  
🗑
therapist errors during METS   inadequate client instructions  
🗑
therapist errors during METS   failure to maintain stretch position long (20-30 sec)  
🗑
clients use of strength during METS   about 20%  
🗑
antagonists   muscle opposing agonist  
🗑
antagonists   muscle contracts  
🗑
agonists   prime mover  
🗑
METS - muscle energy techniques   procedure that involves a voluntary contraction of a clients muscle in a precisely controlled direction, at varying levels of intensity, against a distinctly executed counterforce applied by the therapist  
🗑
Law of Reciprocal Inhibition   if the agonist contracts the antagonist must relax  
🗑
example of Law of Reciprocal Inhibition   if biceps contract, triceps must relax  
🗑
Sensory Motor Amnesia   a muscle that is habitually contracted forgets where its normal resting length should be  
🗑
sensory motor amnesia   when you put client into correct position they feel uncomfortable  
🗑
target muscle   muscle you want to lengthen  
🗑
reciprocal inhibition   used to relax and lengthen target muscle  
🗑
contracting hamstrings, target muscle is....   target muscle is quadriceps  
🗑
muscle energy technique   reduce trigger points  
🗑
muscle energy technique   increase sensory motor awareness  
🗑
muscle energy technique   lengthen shortened fascia within the muscles  
🗑
muscle energy technique   strengthen weakened muscles  
🗑
muscle energy technique   reduce localized edema  
🗑
muscle energy technique   increase range of motion  
🗑
muscle energy technique   decrease contraction in hypertonic muscles  
🗑
muscle energy technique   mobilize restricted joints  
🗑
muscle energy technique   extensibility and sensitivity of soft tissue surrounding joint capsule  
🗑
scooping   can lengthen or broaden  
🗑
lordosis   exaggeration of anterior curve, lumbar or cervical  
🗑
often associated with exaggerated anterior pelvic tilt   lumbar lordosis  
🗑
