P01.23. Effects of unilateral facet fixation and facetectomy on muscle spindle responsiveness during simulated spinal manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose There is mounting evidence that identification of spinal joint hypoand hypermobility along with correspondingly tailored manual therapy treatment approaches for these clinical subgroups can lead to more successful therapeutic outcomes. Subjects with spinal joint hypomobility had higher therapeutic success rates with spinal manipulation than subjects with spinal joint hypermobility (Fritz et al. Arch Phys Med Rehab 2005;86:1745-52). We were interested in whether changes in segmental mobility affect proprioceptive signaling from paraspinal muscles during spinal manipulation having thrust durations similar to those delivered clinically (75,100,150, 250ms).

Effect of changing lumbar stiffness by single facet joint dysfunction on the responsiveness of lumbar muscle spindles to vertebral movement.
OBJECTIVE Individuals experiencing low back pain often present clinically with intervertebral joint dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to determine whether relative changes in stiffness at a single spinal joint alters neural responsiveness of lumbar muscle spindles to either vertebral movement or position. METHODS Muscle spindle discharge was recorded in response to 1mm L6 ramp and ho...
متن کاملNeural Response During a Mechanically Assisted Spinal Manipulation in an Animal Model: A Pilot Study
INTRODUCTION Mechanoreceptor stimulation is theorized to contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of spinal manipulation. Use of mechanically-assisted spinal manipulation (MA-SM) devices is increasing among manual therapy clinicians worldwide. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of recording in vivo muscle spindle responses during a MA-SM in an intervertebral fixated a...

STUDY DESIGN A study using an anatomically accurate finite-element model of a L2-L3 motion segment to investigate the biomechanical effects of graded bilateral and unilateral facetectomies of L3 under flexion and extension loadings. OBJECTIVE To predict the amount of facetectomy on lumbar motion segment that would cause segmental instability, therefore enhancing the understanding concerning t...
متن کاملEffect of spinal manipulation on the development of history-dependent responsiveness of lumbar paraspinal muscle spindles in the cat.
We determined whether spinal manipulation could prevent and/or reverse the decrease and increase in paraspinal muscle spindle responsiveness caused respectively by lengthening and shortening histories of the lumbar muscles. Single unit spindle activity from multifidus and longissimus muscles was recorded in the L6 dorsal root in anesthetized cats. Muscle history was created and spinal manipulat...
متن کاملDelayed presentation of cervical facet dislocations.
PURPOSE To review treatment outcomes of 19 patients with delayed presentation of cervical facet dislocations. METHODS Records of 17 men and 2 women aged 21 to 63 (mean, 39) years who presented with unilateral (n=14) or bilateral (n=5) cervical facet dislocation after a delay of 7 to 21 (mean, 14) days were reviewed. The most common level of dislocation was C5-C6 (n=9), followed by C4-C5 (n=6)...
