Test 2
| 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 |
