STTT

Question 1

what is selective tissue tension testing?

Answer 1

• tissues may be selectively tensioned through passive movements, active movements, and resisted manual procedures (to give a sense of tissue involvement, inert or contractile)

Question 2

STTT - describe what movements would be painful for inert tissues put on strain

Answer 2

•AROM and PROM painful in same direction

–Pain usually occurs at EOR

•Resisted mvts are generally not painful

Question 3

STTT - describe what movements would be painful for contractile tissues put on strain

Answer 3

Question 4

STTT - inert tissue grading

Answer 4

Question 5

STTT - contractile tissue patterns

Answer 5

Question 6

special consideration for RISOM

Answer 6

may be repeated several times or held (sustained)

• Screen for possible neuro / vascular issues, Symptom increase or decrease over time
• Change in pattern of movement / line of force? or Increased weakness?

* not super important bc covered next semester

Question 7

what is a limitation to STTT?

Answer 7

It is very difficult to be “selective” when placing tissues under tension

• Joint positioning affects multiple structures
• Muscle contractions CANNOT occur in isolation
• good reliability for knee, bad for shoulder
