Hmti Palpation

Front 1

Kinesiology

Back 1

Study of the mechanics of body movement

Front 2

Palpation

Back 2

To examine or explore by touching, usually as a diagnostic aid

Front 3

Palpation steps

Back 3

1 Locate structure

2 Become aware of characteristics

3 Assess quality and condition to determine how to treat it

Front 4

Palpation qualities

Back 4

Use: receptive hands

Open eyes

Listening ears

Calm breath

Quiet mind

Front 5

Techniques

Back 5

Relaxed hands, responsive and sensitive

One hand on top of other for pressure

Feel for sides and edges of structures

Strumming/rolling

Motion, note changes

Try closing eyes

Deeper-slow softer touch

Front 6

3 principles

Back 6

Move slowly

Avoid excessive pressure

Focus awareness on what you're feeling

Front 7

Active movement

Back 7

Client moves

Front 8

Passive movement

Back 8

MT moves client

Front 9

Resisted movement

Back 9

Client presses against MT's resistance

Front 10

Isometric contraction

Back 10

Muscles contact but no movement (plank)

Front 11

Isotonic contraction

Back 11

Muscles contact creating movement

Front 12

Concentric

Back 12

Contraction of muscle while the muscle shortens

Front 13

Eccentric

Back 13

Contraction of muscle while the muscle lengthens

Front 14

Skin

Back 14

Largest organ

Has the most nerve endings

Front 15

Bone

Back 15

Easy to distinguish via solid feel

Front 16

Muscle

Back 16

Voluntary contractile tissue that moves bone

Front 17

Tendon

Back 17

Attaches muscle to bone

Continuation of muscles CT

Front 18

Ligament

Back 18

CT that connects bone to bone

Found around joints

Front 19

Fascia

Back 19

Fibrous CT

3D network of tissue

Superficial and deep

Front 20

Retinaculum

Back 20

Transverse thickening of deep fascia

Straps tendons down

Front 21

Artery

Back 21

Blood vessels

Pulse can be felt

Carriers oxygen rich blood

Front 22

Vein

Back 22

Superficial blood vessel carries oxygen poor blood towards heart

Front 23

Adipose

Back 23

Tissue with gelatinous consistency

Fat

Front 24

Nerve

Back 24

Tube shaped vessel

Tender (sensitive to client) when compressed

Front 25

Lymph node

Back 25

Bean shape

Pea to almond sized

Front 26

Bursa

Back 26

Small fluid filled sac

Creates space and reduced friction

Eg- subacromial bursa

Front 27

Aponeurosis

Back 27

Broad flat tendon

Front 28

Transport systems deep to superficial

Back 28

NAVL

Nerve, artery, vein, lymph

Front 29

Back 31

Front 32

Strap

Back 32

I.e. Sartorius

Front 33

Triangular

Back 33

Front 34

Pennate

Back 34

Unipennate

Bipennate

Multipennate

Front 35

3 main joint types

Back 35

Synarthrosis - fibrous

Amphiarthrosis - cartilage

Diarthrosis -freely moving

Front 36

Agonist

Back 36

Muscle that causes or controls joint motion through specific plane of motion

Aka mover

Front 37

Antagonist

Back 37

Muscle usually located on opposite side of joint from agonist and having opposite action

Antagonist must lengthen while agonist contracts and shortens

Front 38

Synergist

Back 38

Muscle that assists or is a secondary mover to the main agonist

Front 39

Back 39

Ball and socket

Ellipsoid

Hinge

Saddle

Gliding

Pivot
