| What is muscle energy technique? | A system of diagnosis and treatment in which the patient voluntarily moves the body as specifically directed by the osteopathic practitioner. This directed patient action is from a precisely controlled position against a defined resistance by the osteopat

Post-isometric relaxation
Activation of Golgi Tendon Organ
Reciprical inhibition

| What is tissue creep? | Constant load causes muscle give.
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| What is post-isometric relaxation? | Neuromuscular apparatus in refractory state, temporarily removing myotatic reflex
🗑
|

| Why is it important to activate the golgi tendon organ? | Strong pull triggers muscle relaxation to prevent tearing
🗑

🗑
|

| When should you consider Muscle Energy? | Any technique engaging the restrictive barrier and then carrying the dysfunctional component into the restrictive barrier
🗑
|
||||
| What is treated with muscle energy? | joints
shortened or tight muscles
sub-acute to chronic
recurring
suboptimal response to other techniques
🗑
|
||||
| What are the goals of muscle energy? | When you want to
stretch it
move it
fix it
🗑
|
||||
| What are the principles of muscle energy? | Diagnose joint or regional motion restriction.
Move the joint or region to the direct barrier for all planes (localization).
Have the patient gently push away from the restrictive barrier for 3-5 seconds against a non-moving equal resistance (isometric
