STI 2 Final practical Exam Questions with Verified Answers (Correct
Update)
Question 1: Physiological ra-tionale for mus-cle plays
Answer: improved circulation, better contractility, and improved movement
Question 2: Physiological ra-tionale for releas- stittness, es
Answer: simulating proprioception when spreading apart the muscles to reduce tone, and promote
viscoelastic changes through lessening of cross linkages of collagen and thus increasing lubrication
of the tissues. This promotes the theory of "creep".
Question 3: Physiological ra-tionale for fascial elongation
Answer: ettective in lengthening the fascia through sustained tension which will rupture collagen
restrictions and hydrate the tissue by increasing tissue lubrication. Fascial mobility is the ultimate
goal.
Question 4: Physiological ra-tionale for cross friction
Answer: rupture of cross linkages from collagen that may form adhesions which will ulti-mately
increase mobility of the tissues while preparing them for proper alignment in the future.
Question 5: Physiological ra-tionale for my-ofascial manipu-ation
Answer: works to improve ground substance lubrication of the tissue which will aid in the
decrease of cross linkages and further adhesions by creating interfiber distance.

, Question 6: Physiological ra-tionale for oscilla- make tory techniques
Answer: also known as inhibitory techniques. This occurs by using the nervous system to changes,
rather than making mechanical changes in the connective tissue themselves. Specifically, GTOs in
the muscle fibers are used to stimulate inhibition which will induce relaxation of the over
contractile tissues.
Question 7: Physiological ra-tionale for joint manipuation
Answer: increasing mobilization of tissues through the space of the structures they are attached to.
Specifically rupturing collagen fibers through active contraction/dis-traction
Question 8: what muscles at-tach to the iliac crest
Answer: - hip flexors - internal and external abdominal obliques - erector spinae - latissimus dorsi
- transverse abdominis - tensor fasciae latae - thoracolumbar fascia - QL
Question 9: Anterior sacral at-tachments
Answer: - piriformis - coccygeus - iliacus
Question 10: posterior sacral attachments
Answer: - glute max - mutifidus lumborum - erector spinae
Question 11: piriformis attach-ments
Answer: - anterior surface of the sacrum - gluteal surface of the ilium - greater trochanter of the
femur
