Exam 1 OTD 457 Questions with Correct
Answers
Normal Fascia - Answer-relaxed handles forces of the body, supports and stabilizes
balance, is a major area for inflammatory processes
Elastin - Answer-a core complex of normal fascia that is stretchable and acts as a shock
absorber
Collagen - Answer-an aspect of normal fascia that is pliable, tough, and not stretchy
Matrix (ground substance) - Answer-an aspect of normal fascia that is a gelatinous
substance that transports metabolites (fluids and infections) through the body
Abnormal Fascia - Answer-occurs when gelatinous substance is stuck in the system;
causes edema, nerve compression, and pain
Solid and tight - Answer-characteristics of abnormal fascia due to trauma and
inflammation; can cause asymmetrical posture
Fascial shortening - Answer-Asymmetrical posture may be due to
lines of tension - Answer-Abnormal fascia organizes itself along
________________________, which causes downward pull, impacts unrelated areas,
and the imbalances result in shortening and pain
pelvic diaphragm - Answer-provides a stable base for all other planes
why test vascular integrity prior to MFR? - Answer-to become aware of if patient has
restrictions in circulation (may contraindicate MFR)
four tests for vascular integrity - Answer-1) carotid pulse
2) radial pulse
3) Adson test
4) vertebral artery
carotid pulse - Answer-test on both sides with pt supine
radial pulse - Answer-test on both sides with pt supine, one side should be more than 2
bpm different)
, Adson test - Answer--palpate radial pulse while abducting and hyperextending pt's arm
as they rotate their head to side of abducted arm
- positive if pulse changes, which may indicate subclavian compression (but you could
maybe still do MFR with this)
vertebral artery - Answer-Have pt supine and hyperextend head, if their pupils dilate
then there is compression of this artery... positive result requires physician approval
before MFR
Absence of femoral pulses - Answer-Could be soft tissue compression and MFR may
be contraindicated
Crossed Hands Technique - Answer-used to release barriers within deeper layers of
facia by stretching crosslinks and changing viscosity of ground substance
90- 120 seconds - Answer-Length of time need to hold crossed hand technique
Deep Lumbosacral release - Answer--from sacrum to cranium
-releases erector spine
-helps with headaches and nerve compression
-pt is prone on pillow (pillow below ASIS) with head turned for comfort
Hand placement for deep lumbosacral release - Answer-one on T10-12, other at
lumbosacral junction
Side Release - Answer-Have the pt side lying with their arm overhead and a pillow on
their downside. Anchor on the ilium and release slowly to reduce the rebound effect
Benefits of side release - Answer-Extends the lats and can be used to elongate the
trunk prior to NDT for weight shift, prepare for body mobility, and to facilitate postural
symmetry
Arm pull release of pecs, lats, and serratus anterior - Answer-protraction and upward
rotation of scapula
Arm pull release of trapezius - Answer-elevate, depress, and retract scapula
Arm pull release of deltoid - Answer-provide anterior, horizontal adduction and flexion
then posterior abduction and extension of arm
Arm pull considerations - Answer--gentle pressure to the UE
-use body weight as traction
-never force into restriction because could cause rotator cuff tears
