Is Counterstrain a direct or indirect treatment?
|
• Indirect
|
|
|
|
What does it mean when counterstrain is described as indirect?
|
• The tissue treated is positioned away from the restrictive barrier, to a position of ease.
|
|
|
|
What is the main difference between a tenderpoint and a trigger point?
|
• Both are small hypersensitive areas of tissue but trigger points radiate when compressed; tenderpoints do not.
|
|
|
|
True or false: Tenderpoints are found only at the location of the patient’s pain complaint.
|
• False. TPs can also be found on the opposing surface of the body or remote from the primary area of strain.
|
|
|
|
True or false: When positioning a patient, it is acceptable for the examiner to take his/her finger off of the point.
|
• False
|
|
|
|
If multiple tenderpoints (TP) are found in one area, what is treated first?
|
• The most tender one should be treated first
|
|
|
|
List the steps for treating a TP with counterstrain:
|
1. Find the point
2. Position to shorten muscles and ease pain, first using gross motion then fine-tuning 3. Hold position for 90 seconds (120 for ribs) 4. Slowly return to neutral 5. Recheck the tenderpoint |
|
|
|
In general, to treat posterior tenderpoints, do you position the patient with flexion or extension?
|
• EXTENSION
|
|
|
|
What is the ‘mnemonic’ we use to remember how to treat the majority of cervical tenderpoints?
|
• SARA (sidebend away, rotate away)
|
|
|
|
What are the five treatment models discussed in lecture today?
|
• Structural
• Respiratory/Circulatory • Behavioral • Neurological • Metabolic Energy |
|
|
|
What is the most common ligament injured with an inversion ankle sprain?
|
• Anterior talofibular ligament
|
|
|
|
An increase Q angle of the knee would have which of the following effects?
|
• Increased valgus
|
vocab: valgus -abnormal displacement of part of a limb AWAY from the midline of the body ("knocked knees")
T - vaLgus = moves Lateral |
|
|
What muscle would you need to rehabilitate in a patient with patellofemoral syndrome?
|
• Vastus medialis
|
|
|
|
Which of the following is the most sensitive to test the stability of the anterior cruciate ligament?
|
• Lachman’s test
|
|
|
|
When applying varus stress to the knee the direction of the force is from
|
• Medial to lateral
|
vocab: varus - part of a limb is turned INWARD to an abnormal degree ("bow legged")
T - apply force medial to lateral on the knee, which moves distal tibia medially |
|
|
In a structurally normal foot, which arch is primarily responsible for weight bearing?
|
• Lateral longitudinal
|
|
|
|
What muscle group does the Trendelenburg test assess and what is a positive test?
|
• abductor muscle strength on stance leg
• when the pelvis dips to opposite side |
|
