Range of motion with respect to physiologic barrier is limited by
the muscle's ability to shorten on its own
range of motion with respect to anatomic barrier is limited by
physical barriers such as ligament and bone
anatomic barrier is the limit of this type of motion
passive
neutral point
point where tissue tension is balanced, usually roughly half way between pyhsiologic barriers, unless there is a restriction such that the neutral point becomes halfway between the restrictive barrier and physiologic barrier
alpha motor neuron
transmitts motor impulses to muscle tissue resulting in contraction of a group of muscle fibers
gamma motor neuron
transmit motor impulses to small intrafusal muscle fibers in the spindle to maintain tension in the spindle at different muscle lengths
muscle spindle apparatus
sends information about absolute length and rate of length change in muscle
golgi tendon sends information to nervous system about
tension or rate of change in tension
load reflex
muscle spindles mediate response to load placed on muscle
nuclear bag fibers
innervated by group 1a and group II
nuclear chain fibers
innervated by group 1a only
Ia fibers known as
annulospiral endings
type II fibers known as
flower spray endings
both fiber types react to
rate of length change
Ia fibers react more to
absolute length change
stretching of muscle spindle (muscle getting longer) does this
increases rate of firing
golgi tendon does this to muscle contraction if tension gets too high
it inhibits further alpha contraction to protect muscle from damage
physician who formulated muscle energy technique
Fred Mitchel Sr. DO
isometric contraction
static contraction where constant muscle length is maintained, Dr. applies equal force to patient
isotonic contraction
concentric contraction where muscle length is reduced because force applied by physicican is less than by patient
isolytic contraction
eccentric contraction where muscle length increases, physician applies a greater force than the patient
muscle energy takes advantage of this reflex
golgi tendon reflex
6 steps of muscle energy technique (different from 8 essential steps he mentions 2 slides later)
diagnose, engage dysfunctional barrier and hold, patient contracts against holding force for 3-5s, pt relaxes for 2 seconds, new barrier is engaged, sequence is repeated asappropriate (~3-5x)
role of golgi tendon reflex in ME
golgi tendon reflex is activted by the resisted contraction
neuromuscloskeletal apparatus role in ME
allows muscle to relax and be relatively inhibited by golgi tendon, such that it can be passively lengthened by physicial without recripicol activation of stretch receptors
muscle energy 8 essential steps
accurate structural diagnosis ; engage restrictive barrier in 3 planes ; unyielding counterforce in form of isometric resistance ; appropriate pt muscle effort ; complete relaxation after muscle effort ; repositioning to new restrictive barrier in all 3 planes ; repeat 3-6 ; retest region after
mistakes made during ME
physician doesn’t monitor accurately, pt contracts too forcefully, muscle contraction too short, pt doesn’t totally relax, examiner doesn’t reevaluate
articulatory techniques
direct, passive and do not involve a thrust
thrusting techniques
direct, passive and involve a thrust
5 essentials for thrust techniques
relax soft tissue ; engage restrictive barrier ; maintain lockout ; don’t use excessive force ; localize treatment
Contraindications to HVLA
fractures ,neurologic symptom worsening during evaluation ; severe RA; cancer; osteoporosis; hypermobility or instability; medicolegal situations
Developed FPR
Stanley Schiowitz DO
FPR is what type of technique
passive, indirect
positioning in FPR is similar to
counterstrain ; indirect positioning in still technique
physiolgic mechanism for FPR
by applying compressing force and moving into position of freedom, the muscle spindle is unloaded and will decrease its rate of firing, lowering the rate of firing in the alpha neurons and allowing the muscle to lengthen
technique styles for FPR
myofacial and articular
3 basic steps for FPR
flatten AP curve, add a facilitaing force, move into freedom
why flatten the AP curve
when you put a spinal segment in neutral it opens the facets and the articulation moves freely
advantages to FPR
easy, fast, you can repeat if nesissary
contraindications to FPR
joint instability, HNP, foramenal stenosis, severe sprain, vertebrobasilar instability, certain congenital anomalies
6 steps of FPR
relaxed position, flatten AP curve, apply facilitating force, place vertebra into position of freedom, hold 3-5 s, release and recheck
developed Still Technique
AT Still DO
first published Still Technique
Richard Van Buskirik DO
Still Technique steps
place pt into dysfunction (freedom), apply compression/traction, guide dysfunctional segment into barrier, collect $200
indication for still technique
any somatic dysfunction
contraindications to still technique
severe structural loss of intersegmental motion, foramenal stenosis, joint instability, severe strain/sprain
differences between FPR/Still
in still you don’t flatten AP curve, apply compression after moving into dysfunction, and you guide into barrier after that
