What are the 5 reporting stations?
- 1. Muscle Spindles
- 2. Golgi Tendon Organs
- 3. Golgi End Organs
- 4. Ruffini End Organs
- 5. Pascinian Corpuscles
-
muscle spindle:
- 1. Found in the muscle belly.
- 2. Senses muscle stretch
- 3. Helps prevent overstretching
-
golgi tendon organ:
- 1. Found at muscle-tendon junctions.
- 2. Senses the force of contraction
- 3. Inhibits muscle if it detects an overload
-
golgi end organ:
- 1. Located in ligaments.
- 2. Senses where a joint is in space at any given time.
- 3.
-
ruffini end organ:
- 1. Located inside joint capsule and around joint.
- 2. Reports direction of movement.
- 3. Keeps movements smooth and steady.
-
pascinian corpuscle:
- 1. Located in CT outside joints.
- 2. Senses how fast a joint is moving.
-
What points should you include in your description of NMT to a new client?
- 1. Use full term: 'neuromuscular technique'
- 2. NMT is a nervous system technique that emphasizes the pattern of strokes over their speed and pressure.
- 3. There is an abdominal, back, and gluteal portion.
- 4. Works entire length of each muscle.
-
What are the components of a LMT Treatment Plan?
- 1. Utilize Formula
- 2. Therapist's Job
- 3. Client's Job
-
What is the formula an LMT uses to estimate how long it will take to treat a given musculoskeletal condition?
1 to 2 times/week for as many weeks as treated condition has persisted in months.
-
What is the Therapist's Job entail in a client treatment plan?
- 1. Review Health Hx
- 2. Perform Massage
- 3. Give Homework
-
What is the Client's Job in a client treatment plan?
- 1. Do homework
- 2. Keep appointments
- 3. Show up on time
-
somatic dysfunction:
- -A general term applied to all lesions of the musculoskeletal system.
- -Tend to be overly broad and doesn't provide much useful information.
-
What three types of information do reporting stations of the PNS provide to the CNS?
- 1. Present position
- 2. Direction of movement
- 3. Speed of movement
-
How is NMT different from other deep tissue work?
- -NMT works along neural pathways from CNS to PNS.
- -Other deep tissue techniques work from PNS to CNS.
-
How does the basic spinal technique affect the whole body?
-Reflexively
-
How many strokes are applied in NMT, and what are they called?
- -Two strokes
- -An Assessment stroke, and a Therapeutic stroke
-
How can a therapist change the impact on the muscle between the first and second stroke?
-By varying Pressure and Speed.
-
phasic muscle:
- 1. Muscles that primarily act to move us.
- 2. They have power and speed.
- 3. They possess a higher percentage of white, fast-twitch muscle fibers
-
postural muscle:
- 1. Muscles that primarily act to support the spine.
- 2. They have endurance and stamina.
- 3. They possess a higher percentage of red, slow-twitch muscle fibers.
-
List three objectives of NMT.
- 1. To balance the nervous system (CNS to PNS)
- 2. Postural reintegration
- 3. To help with (insert indication here)
-
List 5 postural muscles.
- 1. SCM
- 2. Upper Trapezius
- 3. QL
- 4. Rectus Femoris
- 5. Soleus
-
List 5 phasic muscles.
- 1. Scalenes
- 2. Mid/Lower Trapezius
- 3. Rhomboids
- 4. Rectus Abdominus
- 5. Gastrocnemius
-
List four characteristics of stressed postural muscles
- 1. Shorten/tighten
- 2. May get trigger points
- 3. Can spasm
- 4. Can seize
-
List six characteristics of stressed phasic muscles.
- 1. Weakened
- 2. Lengthened
- 3. Fatigued
- 4. May get microtears
- 5. Tendonitis
- 6. Pain
-
fascia:
- 1. Dense CT that covers and protects muscles and organs, both individually and in groups.
- 2. Stores energy reserves as fat.
- 3. Serves as pathways for nerves and blood/lymph vessels
-
Name four things that can cause dysfunction of fascia.
- 1. Injury
- 2. Dehydration
- 3. Disuse leading to atrophy
- 4. Misuse
-
How can thick, contracted fascia effect the CNS?
- 1. Slow blood and lymph flow
- 2. Slow removal of wastes
- 3. Slow nerve impulse conduction
-
Give several reasons for keeping detailed S.O.A.P. Notes.
- 1. Provide baseline
- 2. Track progress
- 3. Great way to jog memory
- 4. Protect against liability
- 5. Required for Medicare/Medicaid, and insurance billing
