ITM medical massage
Test 1 -definitions
| definitions | words |
|---|---|
| system of manual therapy that addresses "dysfunction" and pain within the musculoskeletal system | medical massage |
| primarily looking at an injury to the collagen | soft tissue injury |
| tension-pulling, compression-crushing, shearing-ripping | mechanical trauma to soft tissue |
| caused by repetitive stress | microfailure |
| quality of a substance to become more fluid as it is stirred and become more solid when it remains undisturbed | thixotrophic |
| transparent, viscous liquid surounds connective tissue cells in the body and in between the collagen fibers | ground substance |
| has appearance and consistency of raw egg whites | ground substance |
| clear or pale yellow viscous fluid secreted by fibroblast-like cells | synovial fluid |
| surrounds a synovial joint and encloses the synovial cavity | joint capsule |
| voluntary, striated, multinucleated cells that are attached to bones | skeletal muscle |
| covers fascicles | perimysium |
| covers muscle | epimysium |
| forms adhesions, fiber developes random orientation | collagen reaction to injury |
| dehydrates, thickens, predisposed to adhesions | ground substance reaction to injury |
| disuse atrophy, contractures, forms adhesions,positional dysrelationship | skeletal muscle reaction to injury |
| trauma caused by a direct blow to the tissue | direct trauma |
| acute trauma, occurs with sudden overload, or chronic or overuse trauma as a result of repeated overload to tissues | indirect trauma |
| within first 4 hours of injury, can last 4-5 days | acute or vascular phase |
| process of repair and regeneration, begins 2-6 days after initial injury,can last 3 wks | subacute or repair phase |
| occurs from day 21 to day 60, is changes to network of fibrous connective tissue | remodeling phase |
| functional tissue that makes up an organ | parenchymal tissue |
| cell reproduction of the parenchymal cells is going on continuously | labial tissues |
| blood, skin, bone | labial tissues |
| nerve, muscle, cartilage | tissue that do not reproduce well |
| blood supply to the muscle is occluded creating a buildup of waste products which cause inflammatory response, usually chronic | static inflammation |
| death of tissue | necrosis |
| accumulation of pus | abscess |
| large scale necrosis | gangrene |
| body attempts to protect itself from suffering additional damage to injured area | pain-spasm-pain cycle |
| a dysfunction in one part of the body will affect other parts of the body | individual is a whole organism: everything is connected and related |
| muscles work by contracting, therefore can do no work if shortened | shortened muscle tissue can do no work |
| touch interferes with self-perpetuating neuromuscular feedback circuit and restores normal function | soft tissues of the body respond to touch |
| rehydrate tissue | thixotrophic effect |
| points on the body that are tender when pressed | tender points |
| point found in a nodule in a taut band of skeletal tissue that is extremely tender and "refers or radiates" | trigger point |
| term used to refer to the softening and lengthening of soft tissue | release |
| prime mover | agonist |
| muscle opposing the agonist | antagonist |
| muscle contracts to flex a joint by "shortening" | concentric contraction |
| muscle functions as an antagonists and contracts to control movement of a joint while "lengthening" | eccentric contraction |
| antagonist must overcome the normal resistance to stretch in order for movement to take place | reciprocal inhibition |
| no bony change, client can self correct problem | 1st degree or postural |
| few or no bony changes, client can no longer self correct | 2nd degree or transitional |
| serious bony changes, require surgical intervention | 3rd degree or structural |
| anterior, posterior, lateral; right and left | examination of alignment in standing |
| to assess what musculature is contracted and shortened, or lengthened | test for range of motion and muscle length |
| plumb line should be midway between heels | anterior view |
| plumb line should be just anterior to lateral malleolus | lateral view |
| plumb line should be midway between heels | posterior view |
| correlation exists between alignment and muscle test findings | if posture is habitual |
| intersection of the sagittal and coronal mid-planes of the body | gravity line |
| arrangement of muscle fibers relative to the axis of force generation | muscle architecture |
| fibers lie at a single angle to the force-generating axis | unipennate |
| fibers lie at two angles to the force-generating axis | bipennate |
| fibers lie at multiple angles to the force-generating axis | multipennate |
| fibers are parallel to the force-generating axis | parallel (longitudinal) |
| fibers from a broad attachment converge to a narrow attachment, forming a fan shape | convergent |
| kinesiological function of the muscle or that particular part of the muscle | determined by 'arrangement' of the muscle fibers |
| direction and type of the work to be done | determined by the 'direction' of the fibers in a particular section of a muscle |
| latin word meaning 'band' or 'bandage' | fascia |
| inhibition of the stretch reflex in antagonists | reciprocal inhibition |
| point of contact between nervous system and muscular system | neuromuscular junction |
| points at which nerve cells communicate chemically with each other | synapses |
| performed by the client with no assistance from therapist | active range of motion |
| therapist moves client through range of motion with no assistance from client | passive range of motion |
| some resilience or bounce at end of range of motion | soft end feel |
| range of motion stops abruptly against bony or ossified material | hard end feel |
| pain before end of normal range of motion is reached | client is in acute phase of inflammation |
| pain at the limit of the normal end of range of motion | client is in subacute or repair phase |
| pain with overpressure | client is in chronic or remodeling phase |
| indicates pathologies in tendons and muscles | pain on resisted movements |
| pain on active and passive movement | indicates pathologies in ligaments, joint capsules, bursaes, and other noncontractile tissues |
| muscular tissues | contractile |
| not muscular | noncontractile tissues |
| pioneered fascia-centered bodywork | ida rolf |
| solid or semisolid state of a colloidal solution | gel |
| liquid state of a colloidal solution | sol |
| lines of direction in the dermis | langer's lines |
| fascia covering a group of muscles | investing fascia |
| fascia surrounding the muscle | epimysium |
| fascia covering fascicles within a muscle | perimysium |
| fascia surrounding the individual muscle fibers | endomysium |
| warm tissue, break up adhesions, realign fibers | scooping |
| enhance the natural broadening of muscles as they contract | compression broadening |
| break up adhesions, treat sprains, strains, tendinosis, reduce scar tissue | deep transverse frictioning |
| encourage elongation, reduce hypertonicity, increase pliability, inactivate myofascial trigger points | deep longitudinal stripping |
| reduce hypertonicity, deactivate myofascial trigger points | static compression |
| procedure that involves voluntary contraction of clients muscle in a precisely controlled direction, at varying levels of intensity, against a distinctly executed counterforce applied by therapist | muscle energy techniques (MET) |
| muscle contraction which there is resistance but 'no' movement at joint | isometric |
| muscle contraction which there is resistance with 'movement' at joint | isotonic |
| resistance with movement which origin moves toward insertion, muscle 'shortens' | concentric isotonic |
| resistance with movement which origin and insertion moving apart making muscle 'lengthen' as it contracts | eccentric isotonic |
| proprioceptors located in tendon of muscles and detect "tension" in the tendon | golgi tendon organs |
| proprioceptors located in belly of muscle which detect sudden or constant 'stretch' on muscle | spindle cell fibers |
| time period during which a neuron cannot respond to stimulus that is usually adequate to evoke a nervous impulse | refractory period |
| no stimulus will evoke a nerve impulse | absolute refractory period |
| very strong stimulus will evoke a nerve impulse | relative refractory period |
| muscle that is habitually contracted forgets where its normal resting length should be | sensory motor amnesia |
| if agonist contracts the antagonist must relax | law of reciprocal inhibition |
| excessively stretched, joint instability limits range of motion | joint capsule reaction to injury |
| increase fluid, becomes thicker, forms adhesions | synovial membrane reaction to injury |
| can be stretched and change shape and then return to normal | visoelastic nature |
| alleviate pain, normalize tonicity, restore range of motion | medical massage soft tissue techniques |
