fully flex elbow, have pt contract triceps against resistance. Isometric force allows biceps muscle to relax & return to resting state
|

fully extend elbow, have pt contract his triceps against resistance. Isometric force allows biceps muscle to relax and return to resting state

Uses the crossed extensor reflex to achieve muscle relaxation. Used in extremities so severely injured/not accessable to direct manipulation. Example: contraction of right biceps produces relaxation of left biceps and contraction of left triceps

What is the FPR treatment for someone C2 Rr?
|
FPR is an indirect technique using compression. 3 steps. First, bring to neutral. Next, add compression. Last, bring them the way they like to go, in this case, rotate right for 3-5 seconds until it releases. Loading the joing causes tissues to relax.
|
|

|
what is ART?
|
Low velocity/Moderate to high amplitude. A technique in which an articulation is taken through it’s full range of motion with specific attention directed at the dysfunctional barrier(s). The therapeutic goal is increased freedom of articular motion
|
|
what is springing?
|
Low to medium velocity/Moderate amplitude. A technique in which the restrictive barrier is engaged repeatedly to produce an increased freedom of motion. The therapeutic goal is increased freedom of articular motion
|
|
What is the Still technique?
|
first engage with a indirect force, (away from the restrictive barrier. (for instance, in a pronated forearm, further pronate AND push the radial head further posterior.) then reverse the movement and engage the restrictive barrier. In the previous example, now supinate the forearm and push the radial head anteriorly.
