Any exercise you do has to have a reason, otherwise
you’re just wasting time and money.

What is Empty Can Test?

Jobe and Moynes originally described the Empty Can Test (ECT). Therefore, it is also known as the Jobe’s test.

The talocrural joint flexes and extends along an oblique axis that runs between the center of the medial and lateral malleolus.

The diaphragm is responsible for 70–80 percent of all respiratory movement. It contracts on the inhalation and relaxes on the exhalation.

On inhalation, the diaphragm fibers shorten and draw toward the boomerang-shaped central tendon directly below the heart.

Upper chest breathing is commonly referred to as paradoxical breathing, but this pattern is somewhat different.

Upper chest breathers generally contract the abdominal muscles to lift and expand the upper chest during inhalation.

The serratus posterior superior and serratus posterior inferior are small muscles along the spine that assist respiration.

These two muscles cross the erector spinae muscles like strapping tape, anchoring the erectors to the rib cage.

Three openings in the diaphragm allow the vena cava, aorta, and esophagus to pass from the thoracic cavity into the abdominal cavity.

The diaphragm is a thin muscle situated between the visceral compartments in the upper and lower trunk; it provides a floor for the thoracic cavity and a roof for the abdominal cavity organs.

The lungs lack any direct mechanism for drawing air into the body.

They rely entirely on the respiratory muscles for this crucial function.

Both lungs are encased in a double-layered pleural sac made up of serous tissues that secretes a serous fluid.

The sternum is a flat, thin bone shaped like a dagger.

It has three parts: a manubrium at the top, the body of the sternum, and a small bony tip called the xiphoid process.

Although not true anatomical joints, the intercostal spaces between each pair of ribs serve as functional joints.

The mobility of the intercostal spaces is important for the full expansion of the rib cage during deep breathing and a full range of spinal movement.

Adductor dysfunction or paralysis can lead to a scissors gait that causes the knees to cross in a scissor-like motion.

Parallel force application in bodywork: The practitioner applies equal forces in opposite directions to stretch the myofascia on the shin.

[Physio Study @study_physio]

Parallel forces are separate, linear forces of equal magnitude applied in the same plane, either in the same direction or in opposite directions.

#parallel #forces #separate #linear #equal #magnitude #applied #plane #direction #opposite

[Physio Study @study_physio]

Forces always come in pairs.

As the law of action and reaction dictates, a force is always met by a counterforce of equal magnitude.

A force can be applied toward or away from a body or an object, from a push or a pull generated either inside or outside of the body.

Optical righting reflexes also orient the head over the body and level the field of vision.

The optical righting reflex can be observed in a baby who is just learning to hold her head up.

The bony pelvis structure resembles the braced arch that originated in Roman architecture.

In a braced arch, two vertical columns buttress against two diagonal blocks, which in turn hold up a keystone that is wedged in the center.

Bending stresses are the most damaging to the spine because the upper part of the bent area loses it base of support.

When the spinal ligaments become too weak to hold the vertebrae together, the muscles have to work harder to provide support.

[Physio Study @study_physio]

A force couple occurs when two parallel forces act simultaneously in opposite directions to produce motion.

Like two hands pulling in opposite directions to turn a wheel, muscles contracting together as a force couple always produce torque.

[Physio Study @study_physio]

A muscle can only contract so far. When a muscle reaches maximum contraction and has shortened as much as it can, the tendons of the muscle begin to stretch.
