What is FPR?
|
facilitated positional release that is a form of myofascial release and is indirect and used to treat somatic dysfunction and muscle spasm
|
|
|
What is the basic goal of FPR in reference to the muscle in spasm?
|
shorten the muscle in spasm
|
|
|
How is CST different than FPR?
|
CST does not have a facilitating force that shortens tx time to 3-5 seconds instead of 90 seconds
|
|
|
What do you look for diagnostically that is relevantly treated with FPR?
|
look for a palpable tart change and identify and restrictive barrier and a position of ease
|
|
|
What should be treated when you find a spinal lesion and wish to treat with FPR?
|
treat the muscle that is causing the segment dysfunction. don't treat the segment. then check the segment.
|
|
|
What is the cardinal aspect of FPR?
|
flatten the spine. flatten the spine. flatten the spine.
|
|
|
In what direction is the facilitating force?
|
compression through the long axis of the spine or limb
|
|
|
What is considered the "neutral" position in FPR?
|
putting the pt into the position of ease in which the dysufctional muscles and connective tissue are shortened => alter firing of nocireceptors and mechanoreceptors
|
|
|
What is the relevance of resetting the gamma loop?
|
this is the inverse myotactic reflex whereby a sudden decrease in load allows the 1a fiber to discharge and relax because of the gamma motor neuron resetting
|
|
|
What lesion should you treat first when you find a group of lesions?
|
treat AGR first or the most palpable or superficial, then treat the deeper, less superficial problems
|
|
|
What are the relative contraindications of FPR?
|
fracture, bone-wasting dz, friable tissue, tumor at site, localized infection such as septic joint or fasciitis
|
|
|
What is the difference between a Still technique and FPR?
|
Still techniques involve maintaining compression or distraction while moving toward the barrier/going back to neutral
FPR calls for releasing compression to return to normal |
