Definition
|
|
Term
| When is muscle energy used? |
|
Definition
Somatic dysfunction (TART) to be used on vertebral segments, joints, and tight muscles
- lengthen shortened, contractured, or spastic
muscles
- strengthen weakened muscles
- reduce localized edema, relieve congestion
(pumping action of muscles to augment lymphatic flow)
- mobilize an articulation with restricted mobility
|
|
|
Term
______ fibers(spindles) lie in parallel with extrafusal fibers
Monitor length and tone of muscle (sensitive to change in length and the rate of change)

Term
| What are the 7 principles of muscle energy? |
|
Definition
1.Post Isometric relaxation
2.Isokinetic strengthening using isotonic contraction
3. Joint mobilization using force
4. Respiratory assistance
5. Oculocephalogyricreflex
6. Reciprocal inhibition
7. Crossed extensor reflex

|
Term
| What is isolytic contraction? |
|
Definition
–The applied counterforce is greater than the patient force, resulting in lengthening of the myofascial tissues
|
|
|
Term
What is isotonic contraction?
|
|
Definition
| Pt force greater than doctors and the muscle shortens. |
|
|
Term
| What are some contraindications for muscle energy? |
|
Definition
–Infection, hematoma, or tear in involved muscles
–Fracture or dislocation of involved joint
–Rheumatic conditions causing instability of the cervical spine
–Undiagnosed joint swelling of involved joint
–Positioning that compromises vasculature.
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
–Tissue texture changes
–Asymmetry
–Restricted range of motion
–Tenderness
|
|
|
Term
•The ______ barrier is range of motion between the physiologic and anatomy barrier.
|
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Define somatic dysfunction |
|
Definition
–An impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system: skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures and their related vascular, lymphatic and neural elements.
