1. What components make up the Human Movement System (HMS)
ANS Myofas-
cial (Muscle and Connective tissue),Neuromuscular (nerves and muscle),
Articular (bone, cartilage,ligaments)
2. What is the Fascial systmem (FS)
ANS A three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose,
and dense fibrous connective tissues that permeate the body providing
functional structure and environment. The fascial system interpen-
etrates and surrounds all organs, muscles, bones, and nerve fibers,
endowing the body with a functional structure
1/6
, 3. What are the 5 kinetic chain checkpoints
ANS Feet and ankles, knees, LPHC, shoulders and thoracic spine, and
head and cervical spine
4. Structural Efficiency
: alignment of the musculoskeletal system (Each compo- nent of the
(HMS) that allows center of gravity to be maintained over a constanstly
changing base of support during functional movement.
5. Myofascial
: pertaining to muscle tissue and fascia (connective tissue)
6. How does the Fascial System contribute to Functional Efficiency
ANS The FS model contributes to functional efficiency by integrating
with the entire nervous system and the muscular system, thereby
providing a mechanically sensitive and responsive communication
network that is separate from yet synergistic with the nervous system.
