|
definition of traction |
mechanical force applied to the body in a way that separates joint surfaces and elongates the surrounding soft tissue. |
|
|
name 3 forces that are involved with traction |
forces generated by therapists forces generated by a machine forces generated by weigh (gravitational traction) |
|
|
how many vertebrae of the spine? |
24 |
|
|
the spine is connected by _____________ and separated by a _____________. |
ligaments, vertebral disc |
|
|
Spinal cord is poterior to the discs, and the disc serves as a _______________. |
shock absorber |
|
|
how does traction work? |
pulls longitudinally on the spine. reducing pressure on the discs, enlarging the intervetebral foramina, and stretching ligaments, tendons, and muscles running along the spine |
|
|
25% has been shown to be sufficient, but 50% of body weight is required to distract the lumbar joints. |
7% of body weight required for cervical traction. |
|
|
what is negative pressure? |
suction by decreased intradiscal pressure pulls displaced parts of the disc back toward the center |
|
|
Approximately how much of body weight is required to reduce a disc prolapse, retract herniated discal material, reduce the size of a disc herniation, increase space within the spinal canal, widen the neural foramina, and reduce pain. |
30-60% |
|
|
During soft tissue stretching, a moderate load, prolonged force can increase joint mobility even when complete joint surface separation is not achieved. |
soft tissue strecthing |
