The McKenzie Method is a classification system and treatment approach developed by Robin McKenzie for back, neck, and extremity pain. It involves assessing a patient's response to various movements and positions to determine the cause of their pain and develop an individualized exercise plan. The goals are to centralize or reduce pain. There are three main syndromes - postural, dysfunction, and derangement - each with different treatments like posture correction, mobilizing exercises, or movements to induce a directional preference. The McKenzie Method aims to actively involve patients to self-manage their pain.
The document discusses proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), a technique developed by Herman Kabat that uses movements and patterns to improve neuromuscular function. It defines key PNF terms and outlines principles such as motor development occurring from head to toe. The basic procedures are described, including manual contacts, stretch, and maximal resistance. Upper and lower extremity diagonal patterns are explained along with their component motions. Rhythmic initiation is also summarized.
The Faradic Galvanic (FG) test assesses lower motor neuron problems by stimulating muscles with different electric currents. A brief tetanic contraction indicates intact innervation, while a sluggish response suggests denervation. The test involves using faradic current to search for motor points and elicit fast contractions in innervated muscles. Galvanic current then produces slow contractions in denervated muscles. However, the FG test is inaccurate and unreliable, correctly interpreting muscle reactions in only 50% of cases.
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique developed in the 1940s to rehabilitate polio patients. It involves contracting and relaxing muscles while stretching to maximize flexibility. Common PNF techniques include hold-relax, contract-relax, and hold-relax-active contraction. The techniques use isometric contractions to trigger a reflex that allows deeper stretching. PNF can enhance strength, balance, mobility and treat neuromuscular deficits.
Dr. James Cyriax developed Cyriax techniques in the early 1900s as a systematic approach to soft tissue injuries. The techniques involve selective tissue tension testing to diagnose lesions, followed by treatments like deep friction massage, passive movements, and active exercises. Deep friction massage uses longitudinal or transverse forces to separate tissue fibers and relieve pain. Passive movements can be graded from low-force range-of-motion to high-velocity small-amplitude thrusts. Active exercises prevent immobilization effects and maintain tissue integrity. Together, Cyriax techniques aim to accurately diagnose and beneficially treat soft tissue disorders.
The document provides an overview of coordination and its assessment. It defines coordination as the ability to execute smooth, accurate movements through integration of the motor, cerebellar, vestibular and sensory systems. Coordination involves appropriate speed, direction, muscle tension and synergist influences. Coordination deficits are often related to conditions involving the cerebellum, basal ganglia or dorsal columns. Common tests of coordination include finger-to-nose, heel-to-knee, rapid alternating movements and Romberg's test. Treatment focuses on techniques like PNF, balance exercises, and Frenkel's exercises to improve coordination.

The document describes the Motor Re-Learning Program (MRP), an approach to improving motor control after stroke. The MRP focuses on relearning daily activities through task-oriented practice and is based on theories of distributed motor control. The summary is:
1. The MRP involves analyzing tasks, practicing missing components, practicing whole tasks, and transferring learning to other contexts.
2. Intervention follows four steps - analyzing the task, practicing missing components, practicing the whole task, and transferring learning.
3. The program evaluates and improves functions like upper limb use, sitting, and walking through identifying normal movement and compensatory strategies.
The Brunnstrom concept is a theoretical model of motor recovery following central nervous system injury developed by physical therapist Signe Brunnstrom. It is based on the hierarchical reflex theory and assumes that lower level reflexes get incorporated into purposeful movements through higher centers. Recovery proceeds from primitive reflexive movement to voluntary isolated movements. Treatment involves facilitating this progression using reflexes, associated reactions, proprioceptive and exteroceptive stimuli, and resistance. Motor and sensory function is evaluated using Brunnstrom's staging which characterizes recovery in a sequential progression.
Balance involves maintaining the center of mass within the base of support through coordinated muscle activity and sensory input. Impaired balance can result from issues with the sensory, musculoskeletal, or vestibular systems. Balance is evaluated through static and dynamic tests with or without assistive devices or altered sensory input. Treatment involves graduated balance exercises focusing on posture, weight shifts, and introducing movement to challenge stability limits. Precautions are taken to avoid pain or unsafe movements.

It details the angles of the hip joint including the central edge angle and angle of anteversion. It discusses the muscles, ligaments, biomechanics including ranges of motion, and forces across the hip joint during activities like standing, walking, and squatting. Pathomechanics of conditions like hip fractures and dislocations are also mentioned.
This document discusses balance, fall prevention, and balance assessment and training. It defines balance as control of the center of mass over the base of support. Age-related changes and diseases that impact balance components are reviewed. Valid tools to measure balance include the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, and Functional Reach test. Balance training exercises discussed include calf stretches, heel/toe raises, soft surface stance, and exercises using movable surfaces like Swiss balls and tilt boards. Both hard and soft surfaces are used to challenge static and dynamic balance.
This document provides an overview of posture, including definitions, types, mechanisms, patterns, principles of re-education, and presentation of good posture. It defines posture as the body's position either at rest or during movement. There are inactive postures for rest and active static and dynamic postures that require muscle coordination. Posture is maintained through complex reflexes involving muscles, eyes, ears, and joints. Good posture is efficient with minimal effort, while poor posture is inefficient and causes unnecessary muscle strain. Re-education of posture focuses on identifying and treating causes, gaining patient cooperation, relaxation/mobility exercises, and establishing new posture habits through repetition and education.

The document discusses postural control and balance, defining it as the ability to control body position in space. It describes static and dynamic postural control, and notes an intervention program should be based on an accurate evaluation. The summary provides exercises to improve postural alignment, control of movement, adaptation to tasks/environments, and fall prevention. A balance training program incorporates steady state, anticipatory and reactive exercises focusing on static and dynamic postural control.
Balance, or postural stability, is the process by which the body maintains equilibrium by keeping its center of mass over its base of support. It requires integration of sensory inputs from the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems and appropriate muscle responses from the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. When any of the sensory systems are impaired, the central nervous system compensates by increasing reliance on the other intact systems through a process called sensory organization. Different tasks require different types of balance control, including static balance to maintain a stable position at rest and dynamic balance during voluntary movements.
This document discusses motor control and postural control. It defines motor control as the study of movement, which arises from the interaction of perception, cognition, individual characteristics, task constraints, and environmental factors. Postural control maintains stability and orientation through steady-state, reactive, and proactive balance. Steady-state balance involves alignment and muscle tone to counteract gravity. Reactive balance uses strategies like ankle/hip adjustments or changing support when perturbed. Proactive balance anticipates forces through sensory information and experience to stabilize movements like lifting objects. Environmental constraints and cognitive loads also influence balance control.
This document provides an overview of posture biomechanics, including:
1. Definitions of static and dynamic posture, and descriptions of optimal sagittal and frontal plane alignment.
2. Explanations of how posture is controlled through sensory inputs, muscle activity, and strategies like fixed support and changing support.
3. Analyses of deviations from optimal posture, including positions of the foot, knee, spine, and effects of sitting and lying postures. Factors like age, gender, and occupation are also discussed.
Detailed explanation about balance and balance training.
Balance refers to an individuals ability to maintain their line of gravity within their Base of support (BOS). It can also be described as the ability to maintain equilibrium, where equilibrium can be defined as any condition in which all acting forces are cancelled by each other resulting in a stable balanced system.
BALANCE SYSTEMS:
The following systems provides input regarding the body's equilibrium and thus maintains balance.
Somatosensory / Proprioceptive System
Vestibular System
Visual System
The Central Nervous System receives feedback about the body orientation from these three main sensory systems and integrates this sensory feedback and subsequently generates a corrective, stabilizing torque by selectively activating muscles. In normal condition, healthy subjects rely 70% on somatosensory information and 20% Vestibular & 10% on Vision on firm surface but change to 60% vestibular information, 30% Vision & 10% somatosensory on unstable surface.
SOMATOSENSORY SYSTEM:
Proprioceptive information from spino-cerebellar pathways, processed unconsciously in the cerebellum, are required to control postural balance. Proprioceptive information has the shortest time delays, with monosynaptic pathways that can process information as quickly as 40–50 ms and hence the major contributor for postural control in normal conditions.
VESTIBULAR SYSTEM:
The vestibular system generates compensatory responses to head motion via:
Postural responses (Vestibulo-Spinal Reflex) - keep the body upright and prevent falls when the body is unexpectedly knocked off balance.
Ocular-motor responses (Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex) - allows the eyes to remain steadily focused while the head is in motion.
Visceral responses (Vestibulo-Colic Reflex) - help keep the head and neck centred, steady, and upright on the shoulders.
VISUAL SYSTEM:
For non-impaired individuals, under normal conditions the contribution of visual system to postural control is partially redundant as the visual information has longer time delays as long as 150-200 ms.
Friedrich et al. observed that adults with visual disorders were able to adapt peripheral, vestibular, somatosensory perception and cerebellar processing to compensate for their visual information deficit and to provide good postural control.
In addition, Peterka found that adults with bilateral vestibular deficits can enhance their visual and proprioceptive information even more than healthy adults in order to reach effective postural stability.
The influence of moving visual fields on postural stability depends on the characteristics of the visual environment, and of the support surface, including the size of the base of support, its rigidity or compliance.
TYPES OF BALANCE:
Balance can be classified in to :
Static Balance:
Dynamic Balance
This document discusses postural control and balance. It defines key terms like static and dynamic balance, center of mass, center of gravity. It describes the different sensory systems, motor responses, and strategies involved in maintaining balance. Common balance impairments after stroke are described. Several clinical balance tests are mentioned. The principles of balance training include progressive challenge, use of feedback, and training functional tasks. Safety during balance training is also addressed.

This document defines balance and its components, types, evaluation, and training. It states that balance is the ability to control the center of mass in relation to the base of support. The main components of balance are the sensory systems (visual, somatosensory, vestibular), sensory integration, feedback and feedforward mechanisms, and motor components. There are three types of balance: static, dynamic, and automatic. Balance is evaluated through tests like Romberg tests and functional reach tests. Balance training focuses on static, dynamic, and anticipatory postural control through exercises involving stable and unstable surfaces, narrow stances, and additional tasks.

The document defines various concepts related to balance and exercise therapy. It discusses the center of mass, center of gravity, momentum, base of support, limits of stability, ground reaction forces, and center of pressure. It also describes the roles of the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and environmental context in balance control. The main sensory systems involved in balance - visual, somatosensory, and vestibular - are defined. Different motor strategies for maintaining balance when perturbed are outlined, including ankle, weight-shift, suspension, and hip strategies. Stepping is mentioned as another strategy for large perturbations.

The document discusses the neurophysiology of balance, including the role of the sensory systems (vision, proprioception, vestibular), musculoskeletal system, and nervous system in maintaining balance. It defines balance and related terms, and describes how the central nervous system integrates input from the visual, somatosensory, and vestibular systems to generate motor responses that control body position. When one sensory system is impaired, the CNS can suppress the inaccurate input and rely more on the other two systems through sensory re-organization. The musculoskeletal system also contributes through factors like posture, range of motion, strength, and type of muscle contraction.
This document discusses the biomechanics of posture. It defines posture and describes active and inactive postures. Good posture involves maximum efficiency with minimal effort, while poor posture is inefficient. Factors like joint issues, muscle imbalances, and prolonged sitting can predispose someone to poor posture. The postural mechanism involves muscles, nervous control through reflexes, and skin sensation. A biomechanical analysis examines forces like gravity and ground reaction forces, as well as muscle activity. Optimal posture minimizes these external forces through proper body alignment. Common postural disorders and faulty postures are also discussed.
This document provides information about balance, equilibrium, and exercises to improve balance. It defines balance as maintaining the body's position in equilibrium. Equilibrium means the body is either at rest or steady motion. Balance is achieved when the center of mass is over the base of support. Sensory systems like visual, somatosensory, and vestibular provide information about body position. Tests are used to assess balance and identify impairments. Balance exercises improve agility, stability, and fall prevention. Static exercises maintain postures while dynamic exercises involve movement. The Otego home exercise program uses exercises like sit-to-stand, tandem walking, knee extension, toe standing, and heel standing to improve balance, strength, posture,
This document provides an overview of biomechanics of posture. It defines static and dynamic posture and describes the major goals and elements of postural control, including maintaining the body's center of gravity over its base of support and stabilizing the head vertically. It discusses perturbations that can disrupt posture and the fixed and change-in-support synergies used to regain equilibrium. Key aspects of posture such as external forces, ground reaction forces, and optimal alignment are summarized. Common postural deviations are also outlined.
Posture - a perquisite for functional abilities in daily life. Posture is a combination of anatomy and physiology with inherent application of bio-mechanics and kinematics. Sitting, standing, walking are all functional activities depending on the ability of the body to support that posture to carry out each activity. Injuries and pathologies either postural or structural can massively change the bio-mechanics of posture and thus affect functional abilities.
This document discusses posture and postural alignment. It defines posture and describes the development of spinal curvature from birth. Good posture is defined as a position with stability, balance and minimal effort. Poor posture results from deviations from good alignment. Factors like muscles, nerves, reflexes and the central nervous system contribute to postural control. Techniques for assessing and correcting posture include exercises, stretching, strengthening, taping and myofascial release. Maintaining mobility, muscle balance and retraining awareness can help improve poor posture.

This document summarizes gait assessment, which involves analyzing the positions and motions of body segments during walking. It describes the phases of gait and methods for kinematic gait assessment, including observational gait analysis using video from different views and motion analysis systems using cameras and sensors. Key kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters that are assessed are identified, such as step length, stride duration, joint angles, and ground reaction forces. Adaptability of gait is also evaluated using tools like the Dynamic Gait Index to assess fall risk.
Pain is a very distressing sensation.
To treat pain it is important to understand how it is perceived and internally control by the body itself.
Here in this presentation you will understand how normally pain is perceived and how normally our body controls it.
Higher mental functions include cognition and behavior such as orientation, attention, memory, communication, executive functions, and complex perception. These should be assessed first as they can impact motor and sensory exams. Orientation involves understanding time, place, and identity. Attention includes selective, sustained, alternating, and divided attention. Memory involves registration, retention, and recall, and can be impacted by amnesia or delirium. Communication assesses language comprehension and production. The brain regions responsible include the medial temporal lobe, hippocampus, and specific areas for aphasia or dysarthria. Higher mental functions can be quickly screened using the MMSE, with scores below 24 indicating impairment.
This scale is used to categrise spinal cord injury patients. it helps prognosticate the spinal cord injuires. it also helps define the treatment protocols for spinal cord injury patients. American Spinal Cord Injury Association made this scale so as to make a standardization in assesemnent technique in acute spinal cord injury patients.

2. DEFINITION
• Balance is defined as the condition in which all the forces acting
on the body are balanced and that the center of mass (COM) is
within base of support (BOS) and the limits of stability(LOS).
6. • MOTOR –
• Muscle quality
• Ability to activate the muscles
• SENSORY-
• Visual system
• Vestibular system
• Somatosensory system- proprioception and tactile system
• COGNITIVE-
• Attentional ability
9. DYNAMIC BALANCE
• REACTIVE CONTROL is the ability to maintain balance in response to
external destabilizing forces on the body.
TO ASSESS :
• Perturbations
• Move the surface where the patient is sitting or standing
• Ex- moveable platform, therapy ball
• OBSERVE- Postural strategies
12. • PROACTIVE CONTROL is the ability to maintain balance in response to an internally
generated destabilizing forces.
• EX- leaning forward, dancing
17. ASSESSING THE EFFECT OF COGNATION ON BALANCE
DUAL-TASKING -
While talking while standing, reading while walking, or pour water into a glass
18. QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT
1. BERG BALANCE SCALE
• BBS assess both the static and dynamic balance.
• Scores of 45 or below =High risk of recurrent or multiple falls
