McKenzie method centralization definition

-progressive change in pain from a more distal location to a more proximal location that remains better after applying repeated or sustained end-range movements to the spine -symptoms may increase but they have moved more proximal

Centralization

-progressive retreat of referred pain toward midline of the lumbar region from a more peripheral location -can be from any direction of motion (flex, ext, SB, rot)

Algorithm for determining central sensitization

1. MSK pain = yes 2. disproportionate pain experience? = yes 3. diffuse pain distribution? = yes if no, go to central sensitization inv -> 4. central sensitization inventory 40 or >? = yes

Physical Stress Theory (amount of stress, % 1RM, and impact on tissue)

1. Too much stress - > 100% 1RM - Injury or tissue death 2. *Appropriate Overload* - 60-100% 1RM - strengthening 3. *Usual Stress* - 40-60% 1RM - no change in tissue 4. Too little stress - < 40% 1RM - *Atrophy* 5. No stress - 0% 1RM - loss of ability to adapt (death)

Pragmatic Approach to TMJ (4)

1. address posture & ergonomics (fwd head, shoulders, work posture) 2. provide exercises to address cervico-cranial impairments (extensibility of pecs, suboccipitals, deep neck flexor endurance, normal scapulo-thoracic rhythm) 3. Provide MT to address cervico-cranial impairments (AA, OA, cervical, thoracic joints, STM to orofacial muscles in myogenic dysfunction) 4. use of TMJ directed manual therapy w/ caution
