|
what is the definition of STM
|
application of principles of mechanical loading of tissue in order to improver functional mobility
|
|
|
STM is directed at _________
|
"functional joints"
|
|
|
what could cause movement dysfunction
|
1) structural tightness
2) functional inefficiency 3) structural and functional abnormalities |
|
|
what is "efficient state"
|
using the least amount of energy to achieve desired effect
|
|
|
what is an "efficient structure"
|
musculolskeletal system in balance in relationship to base of support and gravity
|
|
|
what is efficient function
|
smooth, coordinated movement
|
|
|
how long is scar tissue in high production
|
8-21 days
|
|
|
how long is scar tissue in the stage where "tensile strength is poor"
|
6-8 weeks
|
|
|
how long is scar tissue in the stage where "scar elongation is poor"
|
14 weeks
|
|
|
how long does it take for tensile strength of scare tissue to return to 100%
|
6 months - 1 year
|
|
|
what is the arrangement of fascia
|
irregular arrangement of collagen and elastin fibers with continuous and interweaving sheaths
|
|
|
what is functional mobilization
|
a combination of neuromuscular training and mobilization
|
|
|
what are the treatment results from STM
|
1) improved muscle legnth
2) imrpoved muscle broadening; ability to fold on itself 3) reduced hypertonicity 4) reduced swelling 5) balanced tissue tension |
|
|
what are the results of balances tissue tension
|
1) allows vertical posture alignment
2) allows full ROM through all movement segments 3) create environment for more efficient motor recruitment patterns |
|
|
what is the desired result from the plan of care of a soft tissue injury
|
facilitate a strong and painless scar, healed in its normal lines of stresses
|
|
|
in the skin and superficial fascia what would a cool,dry area designate
|
region of chronic dysfunction
|
|
|
in the skin and superficial fascia what would hot, tight area designate
|
regions of acute dysfunction
|
|
|
when applying oscillations for STM, what is the difference between direct and indirect
|
direct is with the treating hand, associated is with the assisted hand
|
|
|
what would a muscle belly dysfunction feel like during STM
|
areas of increaseed tone or density
|
|
|
what are the two anatomical and functional regions of the cervical spine
|
upper cevical: occiput, atlas, axis-C3
Lower cervical: C3-T4 |
|
|
what is the shape of the articular surfaces on the occiput
|
convex in all directions,
|
|
|
for the atlas, the _____ diameter is greater than the ____ diameter
|
transverse diameter is greater than the anterior/posterior diameter
|
|
|
what are the 2 unique anatomical characteristics of the atlas (c1)
|
1)no vertebral body
2) very small spinous process that is usually not palpable |
|
|
the superior facets on C2 are what shape, meaning that C1 on C2 movement are a ___ on ___
|
concave, so C1 on C2 is a convex on concave
|
|
|
what bony structure acts as the body for the atlas
|
the axis's odontoid process
|
