[...]... range-of-motion of the joint How did the oblique axes get their names? The rationale for naming the oblique axes originally was based on Mitchell, Sr.'s hypothesis that the upper end of the axis was the stable end He hypothesized that the upper end of the oblique axis was stabilized on the side of the stance leg by the weight of the spine on the sacrum, and therefore, the stance leg and the named axis... published by MET Press 1999 Volwne 3 of The Muscle Energy Manual (FL Mitchell, Jr & PK Mitchell) is published by MET Press THE MUSCLE ENERGY MANUAL Introduction The History of the Development of Muscle Energy Concepts The development and refinement of what is now known as Muscle Energy Technique has been a process in evolution over the past fifty years Muscle Energy Technique (MET), which originated... by palpable muscle or tissue tightness F red L Mitchell, Jr., DO, FAAO, FCA T H E MUSCLE ENERGY MANUAL xxvii xxviii THE MUSCLE ENERGY MANUAL Osteopathic authors have often attested to the importance of pelvic mechanics, as the following quotes emphasize: ccThe pelvic girdle is the cross-roads of the body, the architectural center of the body, the meeting place of the locomotive apparatus, the resting... area of the iliac region of the abdomen are readily discerned Palmar stereognosis is the fastest and most reliable way to locate the ASISs Standing at the side of the examining table one simply places the palms of the hands on each side of the front of the pelvis The relatively sharp points of the ASISs will be immediately felt with the palms The thumbs are then placed on the landmarks on the appropriate... Questions What is the relationship between the Mitchell model of the pelvis and Muscle Energy? Although both originated with Mitchell, Sr., and Muscle Energy bases its diagnostic criteria for pelvic dysfunction on the Mitchell model of the pelvis, the model is not Muscle Energy, per se Mitchell Sr.'s pelvisacral model predates the formulation of Muscle Energy, and can be considered independently The model... too short And to get the patient to contract the extensor muscle you tell the patient to extend But is it really that simple?
