Continuity with the mucous membranes. Highly vascularised. Segmental Innervation Dermatome (EXAM QUESTION) Skin area innervated by a spinal nerve corresponding to a spinal segment. I.e. skin area that contains sensitive information related to a single spinal root) Essential when assessing aesthetic impairment (neuro). Keep in mind… The dermatomes OVERLAP (overlapping is even greater for vibration and soft touch, pain and temperature) Skin assessment Visual inspection Palpation Mobilization (Active and passive mobilization) Instrumentation Visual Inspection Conditions for observation Respect the patient’s PRIVACY Quiet, well ventilated, nice-looking Light conditions ( DAYLIGHT ) Bilateral Bony prominences + orthopedic/prosthesis supporting areas.

Purplish or bluish: there is a lack oxygen and reduced temperature Black: Death of cells and necrosis. Yellowing: Problem with the liver. Marble or pale skin: no blood supply and vasoconstriction. Orange - Brown areas: high pressure. Hyper-pigmentation: the skin remains the same Color but melanilocytes will produce more melanin. Hypo pigmentation 2. Hairiness 3.Volume 4.

Sensory receptors Located in afferent neurons peripheral endings Respond to internal and external stimuli Triggered by specific stimulus (pressure, temperature, chemicals, injury) in a specific intensity range. Nerve signal transduction Somatic receptors Proprioception Located in peripheral tissues: -Skin + Superficial fascia -Tendons -Joint capsules and ligaments Functional types of skin sensory receptors A. Thermoreceptors (Low threshold) Krause (Heat loss) Ruffini (Heat > 45 degrees Celsius) B. Mechanoreceptors (Low threshold) According to the response time to the stimuli: Slowly adapting receptors —> Pressure (Soft tissue will have a decreased blood supply, Hard tissue will break) Rapidly adapting receptors —> Superficial touch/ tickling, movement and vibration. According to the covered surface area: -Type 1 —> Small and surface covering -Type 2 —> Wide and well defined surface covering. Materiel discs (type 1, slowly adapting) Sensitive to skin displacement and maintained pressure Reticular dermis Pacinian Corpsucles (type 2, rapidly adapting) Sensitive to skin displacement and vibration Papillary dermis, Hypodermis, periosteum, tendons, synovial membranes. Ruffini corpuscles (type 2, slowly adapting) Skin displacement and maintained pressure Reticular dermis and hypodermis Both hairless and hairy skin Krause end bulbs (type 2, rapidly adapting) Light touch Reticular dermis Mucocutaenous and synovial membranes Meissner’s corpuscles (type 1, rapidly adapting) Light and discriminatory touch, vibratory. Papillary dermis Located in thick hairless skin —> finger pads C) Nociceptors (low threshold) Triggered when the tissue is damaged Some emotions are brought along with the physical sensation. (Ex: anger (feel less pain as higher threshold, anxiety feel more pain as lower threshold or fear) Small non or lightly myelinated afferent neurons TOPIC 4: POSITIONING IN MASSAGE THERAPY &* ~ - NOThave E 4. , 2 3. 1 : - ~ - v - PT - * # - - & - ↑ Proprioception T Exam >Stabilizers(endurance) -~ - ↑ Q * -A Type I fibers (isometric W if to the - stabilizers and neutralizers ↳ Dynamic movement Type filre Cisotonic)
