In an effort to refine my understanding of the verbiage and vocabulary used on SS, I am creating this thread in hopes that it will help those like me. I will continue to update this first post as more terms become exposed. If you have a term you want to add or know about, just add to the thread and, hopefully, we will get assistance from the sages (if needed). Also if there is a link to another thread that describes a particular term best, I will insert that as well. Cheers!
==================
AIGS = Abnormal impulse generating sites
Allodynia = a pain from a stimulus which does not normally provoke pain.
ATMs = Awareness Through Movement Exercises
BiM = Body in Mind (Moseley's website)
BPS = biopsychosocial (usually with "model")
CRPS = complex regional pain syndrome (more info)
CUM HOC ERGO PROPER HOC
(Correlation does not imply causation) = Latin for "with this, therefore because of this"; A occurs in correlation with B. Therefore, A causes B.
Cx = cervical
DNIC = descending noxious inhibitory control (more info)
DNM = Dermoneuromodulation
DRG = dorsal root ganglion
FI = Functional Integration
FM = Feldenkrais Method
GCFPs = Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioners (website)
GHJ =gleno-humeral joint
GI = gastro-intestinal
GIT = gastro-intestional tract
GMFCS = The Gross Motor Skills Classification System (e.g. sitting and walking) of children and young people with cerebral palsy; categorized into 5 different levels.
GMI = Graded Motor Imagery (website)
HEP = home exercise plan/program
HPSG = Human Primate Social Grooming (more info)
Hyperalgesia = increased sensitivity to pain.
IASP = International Association for the Study of Pain (website)
Iatrogenic = harm resulting from medical treatment or advice to patients (more info)
IFJ = ilio-femoral joint
IVFJ = intervertebral facet joint
LL = lower limb
Lx = lumbar
MCPJ =metacarpophalangeal joint
MDT = Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment (Robin McKenzie)
MET = Muscle Energy Technique
MSI = Movement System Impairment (Shirley Sahrmann)
MTP or MTrP = myofascial trigger point
NOCEBO = Latin for "I shall harm"; a harmless intervention that creates harmful effects in a patient who takes/gets it.
NOCICEPTION = the neural processes of encoding and processing noxious stimuli.
NOI = NeuroOrthopaedic Institute (Butler's group/website)
NPRS = Numerical Pain Rating Scale (more info)
NS('s) = Nervous System(s)
PLACEBO = Latin for "I shall please"; a simulated or otherwise medically ineffectual treatment that elicits a desired response.
PLP = phantom limb pain
POST HOC ERGO PROPER HOC
(POST HOC for short) = Latin for "after this, therefore because of this"; Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X.
PROM = passive range of motion
Rx = treatment, prescription
SBM = Science-Based Medicine (website run by Steven Novella, MD)
SC = Simple Contact
SCM = Sternocleidomastoid
SFNAR = Sucks For No Apparent Reason
SIJ = sacroiliac joint
SPB = structural-postural-biomechanical (usually with "model")
SS = SomaSimple
TDN = Trigger Point Dry Needling
TNE Therapeutic Neuroscience Education (examples here)
Tx = thoracic
UEFS = upper extremity functional scale
UL = upper limb
YES-CICEPTION = the neural processes of encoding and processing NON - noxious stimuli. (more info)
