(IPA Treatment Philosophy) Describe Functional Efficiency in the IPA Paradigm - correct answer
Functional Efficiency is the ability to utilize sufficient Mechanical Capacity, Neuromuscular Function, and
Motor Control to allow for OPTIONS of strategies in the performance of any given action or task.
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) What does Mechanical Capacity in the IPA Paradigm refer to? -
correct answer 1. the QUALITY (springy, hard or inefficient end-feel);
2. the EXCURSION OF MOVEMENT (hyper, hypo); and,
3. the ABILITY TO ATTAIN FUNCTIONAL POSTURES (vertical-vertical in upright).
This includes MOBILITY OF BOTH JOINTS (arthrokinematic, osteokinematic and accessory) AND OF SOFT
TISSUES (skin, mm, connective tissues, neuromuscular, and viscera).
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) Is there a plane of reference that we use when we assess
Mechanical Capacity? - correct answer There is no one specific plane of reference
when we assess Mechanical Capacity. When we assess the Quality and Excursion of Movement, we
assess in all three dimensions (Tri-Planar). We are not limited to the orientation of the joint surfaces
because we have to include all tissues surrounding the joint. (Compare to: Is there a plane of reference
when we facilitate a Movement Pattern? Yes, each segment in the Movement Pattern has a plane of
reference.)
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) What does Neuromuscular Function refer to? - correct answer
It refers to the neurophysiological ABILITY of SYNERGISTIC MM to INITIATE a contraction with the proper
STRENGTH and ENDURANCE for the given task, and to return to a state of RELAXATION. (Compare to
What does Neuromuscular refer to? It refers to nerves and muscles specifically having appropriate
initiation, strength and endurance).
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) What does Motor Control refer to? - correct answer
It refers to the ability to learn and perform the skillful and efficient ASSUMPTION, MAINTENANCE,
MODIFICATION, and CONTROL of voluntary Movement-Patterns and Postures (Movement Patterns and
Postures are the two Overall Responses that we aim to influence when we use PNF).
,(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) What is the most important Motor Control Skill to learn? - correct
answer Dissociation
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) List down the 3 requirements or premises of Efficient Motor Control.
- correct answer 1. Efficient Mechanical Capacity and Neuromuscular Control
2. An Efficient and Working Sensorimotor Homunculus
3. The Ability to Use Core-First Strategies.
Three Pillars of Motor Learning - correct answer 1. Repetition
2. Resistance
3. Whole to Parts, Fix the Parts, Integrate the Parts into the Whole
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) List down 2 types of postural adjustment mechanisms that we need
to execute a given action or task. - correct answer 1. Anticipatory Postural
Adjustments (Feed-Forward Mechanism, Hodges' Proximal Stability)
2. Compensatory Postural Adjustments (Dynamic Stability - ACE. LPM, EFT are examples of ACE)
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) Explain why Posture is Important for Efficient Movement Patterns. -
correct answer Posture ALLOWS US TO START IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN
ACCESS EFFICIENT MOVEMENT PATTERNS. This Postural Position is genetically determined in the sense
that our DNA lays down our Myofascial Structure that is the foundation for Movement Patterns.
Movement is Most Efficient if it starts with the Myofascial Planes in Full Elongation
(MNM - Neuro Principles) List down at least four ways by which the Full Elongation of Myofascial Planes
make Movement Patterns more Efficient. - correct answer 1. It elicits the Stretch
Stimulus.
2. It increases Power via the Stretch Stimulus
3. It Increases Proprioception via the Stretch Stimulus
4. It magnifies the Effect of Cortical Stimulation of the Spinal Reflexes.
(IPA Treatment Philosophy - MNM) What External Factor drives the full Expression of Our Movement
Patterns. - correct answer Gravity. it allows the mass of the body to act as
resistance to movement, which initially elicits isotonic contractions spreading to isometric contractions.
, Differentiate the Traditional Treatment Paradigm from the FMT Paradigm. - correct answer
The Traditional Treatment Paradigm treats to get rid of PAIN as well as to achieve INDEPENDENCE. The
FMT paradigm goes beyond just independence: It promotes FUNCTIONAL EFFICIENCY (Independence in
functional skills is enhanced by the ability to execute them with coordinated purposeful movement).
(PNF History) Who originated the PNF approach? - correct answer Dr Herman
Kabat, later joined by Maggie Knott.
(PNF Definition) What does "Proprioceptive" in PNF refer to? - correct answer It
refers to an organism's ability to sense the stimuli produced by the movement (or position) of tissues.
(PNF Definition) List down at least 5 sensory receptors that we use for proprioception. - correct answer
1. MM Spindles
2. GTO
3. Skin Receptors
4. Eyes
5. Ears and Inner Ear Receptors
6. Joint Connective Tissue
(PNF Definition) What does "Neuromuscular" in PNF pertain to? - correct answer It
pertains to nerves and muscles specifically having appropriate Initiation, Strength and Endurance.
(Compare to: What does Neuromuscular Function refer to? The Neurophysiological Ability of synergistic
muscles to Initiate a contraction, with the proper Strength and Endurance for the given task, and the
ability to return to a state of Relaxation).
(PNF Definition) Define "Facilitation" as used in PNF - correct answer 1. TO MAKE
EASIER.
2. Lowering the resistance so that the next stimulus (stimuli) may more easily evoke a response.
3. Lessening nerve resistance by continued application of the necessary stimuli.
4. Inhibition of abnormal tone and movement patterns
