Advanced Anatomy & Injuries

Work THROUGH pain - and even sometimes PROVOKE pain to elicit symptoms and make a diagnosis

Must work AROUND pain and CANNOT diagnose

Radiating Pain
Numbness/Tingling
Loss of ROM/Loss of Function
Open Wounds
Chest Pain/Shortness of Breath
Night Pain

FALSE, it is ok to feel soreness and fatigue

Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate

No, because it delays it

QUANTITATIVE judgment about what is observed
They are meant to identify RISKS (NON-CLINICAL)
Functional Movement Screening

QUALITATIVE judgment about what is observed (CLINICAL)
Joint by Joint Approach

In general, the human body's joints alternate between being primarily stable and primarily mobile

Afferent Stimulus, Efferent Responses, Neuromuscular Efficiency

The ability of the nervous system to properly recruit muscles in the correct order to produce and reduce force in all three planes of motion and dynamically stabilize the body's structure

If the muscle is tight, then the antagonist is most likely weak

If the muscle is injured, then we look for a weak synergist

They have more soft tissue support and are inherently MORE mobile and LESS stable

They have less soft tissue support
LESS mobile
MORE Stable

Application of Stress to connective tissue strength results in INCREASED connective tissue strength

They take LONGER to strengthen AND recover than muscles, and are at a HIGHER risk of injury with too much stress

Involves a complete rupture of the ligament, gross instability, severe pain and swelling

State of Balance/Harmony
Constant stable internal conditions in the body

Things that SHOULD be done to help a certain pathology

Things that should NOT be done, as the could WORSEN the condition

Avoid Anti-inflammatories
Compression
