Terms of Movement
What are the 6 movements of the spine? Doesn’t have to be technical terms.
What is flexion, extension, lateral flexion R+L, and rotation R+L?
What sensory receptor category senses internal environment?
What is interoreceptors?
What is Fascia?
Sheet-like connective tissue that permeates the whole body
Tightness in myofascia causing an end ROM is
What is tension?
What type of tissue is bone?
What is connective tissue?
What is the main movement in the shoulder joint when you reach for something high?
What is flexion?
Deep diaphragmatic breaths activates which branch of the NS?
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
Fascia is made of these three things
What is fibers, gels, and cells?
Name 3 areas of your body affected by shallow breath
What is your neck, shoulders, ribs, psoas, abdominal muscles, organs, back, etc.?
How many vertebrae are in your thoracic spine?
What is 12?
What 3 movements are present at the hip joint in a seated butterfly position?
What is flexion, lateral rotation, and abduction?
This runs through your face, throat, and diaphragm and is particularly responsible for parasympathetic NS response
What is the vagus nerve?
What is phase change or thixotropy?
behavior of connective tissue to move from gel to soak state under mechanical stimuli like heat or pressure
How does your diaphragm create your inhale?
What is it draws down, increasing the volume of your thoracic cavity?
In a standing forward fold, your spine is under what stress?
What is tensile stress?
What 6 movements are possible at the shoulder joint?
What is flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, medial rotation, and lateral rotation? (Circumduction encompasses them all)
What reflex prevents you from going too far, too quickly into a stretch?
What is the Stretch Reflex?
This property describes fascia's ability to stretch and recoil, and is why creep and thixotropy are behaviors of CT.
What is viscoelasticity?
Explain the SAID principle.
What is your body adapts to the movements it most frequently performs?
Is your body a compression or a tension structure? Explain.
What is both? - bones are suspended in tensile connective tissue like a tensegrity model
Elevation happens on which plane of movement?
What is the frontal plane?
What are the two main categories of the nervous system?
Central and Peripheral
Explain creep and stress relaxation and what they have in common
Creep - temporary lengthening of CT under continual strain
Stress Relaxation - diminishing resistance in response to continual strain
Similar - time factor / both could explain feeling of depth/‘release’ in held stretch
If you roll up from a forward fold, what muscle group is eccentrically contracting?
What is your abdominal muscles?
Name one structure the periosteum of your bones connects to
What is tendons, ligaments, and surrounding fascia?
