This glossary helps explain terms that frequently appear on pages related to P-DTR, Applied Kinesiology, and Manual Muscle Testing. The definitions are written in simple language, without treatment claims and without replacing medical diagnosis.
1. P-DTR — a method of training professionals to work with receptor-based and neuromuscular responses through functional testing.
2. Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) — a manual assessment of a muscle's response to resistance applied by the practitioner.
3. Proprioception — the nervous system’s ability to recognize the position of the body and its parts in space.
4. Myotatic Reflex — a reflexive muscle response to stretching.
5. Indicator Muscle — a muscle used to observe responses to a specific stimulus.
6. Receptors — sensory structures that transmit information about pressure, stretch, temperature, pain, and movement to the nervous system.
7. Gait Pattern — the habitual sequence of body movements during walking.
8. Applied Kinesiology — an approach to functional assessment that uses MMT, anatomy, and biomechanics.
9. Functional Neurology — an approach to understanding the nervous system through movement, coordination, reflexes, and sensory processing.
10. Emotional Correction — an educational topic that explores how emotional factors may be considered in functional work.
11. Normotonic Response — a conditionally normal muscle response during testing.
12. Hypotonic Response — a reduced muscle response during testing.
13. Hypertonicity — increased muscle tension.
14. Stimulus — an action or condition introduced by the practitioner during testing.
15. Anti-Stimulus — a verification input used within a specific educational model.
16. Compensation — the body's way of accomplishing a task through an alternative movement strategy.
17. Functional Assessment — the analysis of movement, responses, and task performance without making a medical diagnosis.
18. Afferent Signal — information traveling from receptors to the nervous system.
19. Efferent Response — a signal traveling from the nervous system to muscles or other structures.
20. Nociception — the transmission of information about potentially harmful stimuli.
21. Mechanoreceptors — receptors that respond to pressure, stretch, and vibration.
22. Golgi Receptors — structures associated with tendons and tension regulation.
23. Muscle Spindle — a receptor structure within a muscle that responds to stretching.
24. Reactive Muscle — a muscle whose response changes due to another stimulus or functional chain.
25. Movement Pattern — a habitual movement program.
26. Stabilization — the ability to maintain a body segment or joint in a controlled position.
27. Supervision — a review of practical work with an instructor or experienced practitioner.
28. Protocol — a defined sequence of actions used in testing or practice.
29. Red Flags — signs and symptoms indicating that a person should be referred to a physician.
30. Scope of Practice — an understanding of what a professional is permitted to do within the boundaries of their profession and applicable laws.
