Various techniques have been introduced, but they mainly involve creating corticotomies in the alveolar bone, creating a Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon (RAP) that leads to increased bone turnover, decreased mineral content of the alveolar bone, and thus faster tooth movement and bone remodeling.
Counterstrain is a technique used in osteopathic medicine, osteopathy, physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic to treat somatic dysfunction. [1] It is a system of diagnosis and treatment that uses tender points, which are produced by trauma, inflammation, postural strain, or disease, to identify structures to manipulate. [ 2 ]
In the Romberg test, the standing patient is asked to close their eyes. An increased loss of balance is interpreted as a positive Romberg's test. The Romberg test is a test of the body's sense of positioning (proprioception), which requires healthy functioning of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord. [1]
Standing on one leg (stork standing) and various other body-position challenges are also used in such disciplines as yoga, Wing Chun and tai chi. [62] The vestibular system of the inner ear, vision and proprioception are the main three requirements for balance. [63]
Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία-logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement.
the rest positions and intercuspal position generally differ from the retruded position of the mandible. Posselt's other findings from the study can be briefly summarised as follows: The movement area of the mandible in the sagittal and horizontal planes is characteristic of the individual but varies in different persons.
The Mitzvah Technique is designed to improve posture and release tension and stress through exercises and therapeutic table work. It is based on the "Mitzvah Mechanism", an upward rippling motion that gently reinforces the body's balance with gravity. It realigns, rebalances and exercises the entire body during sitting, standing and walking.
The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. The human musculoskeletal system is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, [1] tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together.
