provide a mobilizing effect on the myofascia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the common neurophysiological mechanisms of myofascial rolling that
result in decreased pain?
Select one:
a. Roller pressure may create greater myofascial relaxation or “stretch tolerance”
through central nervous system (CNS) afferent input from the Golgi tendon reflex,
gamma loop modulation, and mechanoreceptors.
b. Roller pressure may modulate pain through stimulation of muscle and cutaneous
receptors, afferent central nociceptive pathways (gate theory of pain), and
descending anti-nociceptive pathways (diffuse noxious inhibitory control)
c. Roller pressure may increase viscosity, decrease pain, increase myofascial
restriction, and decrease fluid changes.
d. Roller pressure may increase viscosity, create myofascial restriction, increase
pain, and increase cellular responses. – ANSWER- Roller pressure may modulate
pain through stimulation of muscle and cutaneous receptors, afferent central
nociceptive pathways (gate theory of pain), and descending anti-nociceptive
pathways (diffuse noxious inhibitory control)
