TENSEGRITY STRUCTURES ARE MECHANICALLY STABLE NOT BECAUSE OF INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS BUT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE:
|
DISTRIBUTES AND BALANCES MECHANICAL STRESSES

what are the 2 primary functions of articular cartilage in diarthrodial joints:
1. 2. |
1. distribute compression joint loads
2. allow relative movement of the opposing joint surfaces with minimal friction and wear |
|
|
what does Myofascial Release doe:
|
engages continual palpatory feedback to achieve release of myofascial tissues;
|
|
|
what does direct technique do:
|
engage restrictive barrier with constant force until release occurs
|
|
|
what does indirect technique do:
|
go along path of least resistance until free movement is achieved

COMMON FEATURES: 1. 2. |
1. TENSION IS CONTINUOUSLY TRANSMITTED ACROSS ALL STRUCTURAL MEMBERS
2. AN INCREASE OF TENSION ON ONE MEMBER INCREASES THE COMPRESSION ON ALL THE MEMBERS WITHIN THE SYSTEM |
