Muscle Structure and Adhesions

Introduction

Precision Musculoskeletal Therapy is an “Engineering Based” methodology that uses technology assisted therapy, paired with highly skilled therapists who analyze and apply precision treatment to the appropriate tissues and muscle.   100% non-invasive, medication-free, non-surgical techniques are applied to a patients muscles to treat very deeply into the muscles, that result in truly profound physiological changes to muscles.  Muscle Delta’s technology safely treats any muscle and tissue anywhere on the body, from head to toe.  This technology also is possibly the only known safe way to precisely treat muscles such as the psoas, which is located on the front of the spine and under the stomach.   The treatment specifically penetrates absolutely safely, but deeply, to the correct depth for a specific area, into each muscle and tissue being treated.   

The therapist uses these specific techniques to help restore physiological balance of the musculoskeletal alignments, which also affect joint dysfunction, nervous system, and vein and arterial systems. Homeostasis is restored to the patient through restoring optimal functioning of these areas. When restriction or dysfunction in these areas has been corrected or relieved, a patient may also experience an improvement of their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well –being.  

This case study seeks to describe and explain what occurred with a patient who had a “simple” orthopedic injury that did not recover after following the prescribed physical therapy technique, and what the results were when treated with Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Precision Therapy Technology.  This therapy does require a skilled therapist who is trained on not only proper palpation of the muscular systems, but also in the Muscle Delta “Engineering” based methodology and analysis techniques.

History

Adult Male, age 74: Geriatric patient recovering from Cancer related Brain Surgery that resulted in loss of mobility and trip/fall events was presented for therapy utilizing Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Therapy Technology and Methodology.  The patient was diagnosed with right side loss of mobility in leg and arm.  During the recovery period, the right foot was not elevating to a safe level during walking.  Utilizing Muscle Delta Engineer Based Analysis, it was determined that a lifetime of normal dominant side muscle shortening, and the surgeries impact on nervous system resulted in greatly reduced right mobility.  The patient had difficulty getting out of cars after being seated, and more importantly the right foot barely being lifted off the ground while stepping.  It is difficult to quantify how much of the restricted mobility was attributed to the surgery and resulting nerve damage, and how much was from a lifetime of dominant side muscle shortening.  While we just noted that this is “normal” dominant side muscle shortening because nearly every person experience some degree of muscle shortening and the resultant distortion to proper alignments, we know that relatively short amounts of properly applied treatment at different stages of life can completely reverse the alignment anomalies.  If not reversed, they accumulate and accelerate deterioration to the bodies correct alignment.  

The patient spent a significant amount of time in a recovery center, and then attended therapy after release from the recovery center.  However, the patient still sustained two separate and damaging trip/fall events, falling directly on the his face that resulted in a great amount of facial abrasion, cuts, and bleeding.  Needless to say, the patient was struggling with his mental state related to ability to walk anywhere, especially away from home.  The modalities applied prior to Muscle Delta Therapy were ineffective, and were as follows:  

• Manual Massage Therapy 
• Chiropractic
• Functional Range of Motion Therapy and Exercise 

Tests and Measurements

When patient was presented to Muscle Delta Therapist, pain and mobility dysfunction were as follows:

Numeric Rating Scale:  patients rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst possible pain. 

• Patient described pain at rest: 1
• Patient described pain at normal activity: 1
• Patient described pain at intended activity:  1 

While this patient was geriatric, and post brain surgery, there was many joints to treat.  For the purpose of this study we will focus on the joint mostly responsible for trip and fall, the right hip.  While the typical “head forward” from shortened neck and chest muscles contribute to alignment instability, the most important factor for this patient was to return the right legs ability to lift to a safe level off the ground while walking.  Muscle Delta normally conducts a Range of Motion test for each affected joint using our state of the art  ROM tool that measures common Ranges of Motion on key joints in the body.  The relevant ranges of motion were measured, and the most relevant results were reported as followed:

• Hip Flexion, Right 51 Degrees, 39% of normal while standing and only 20% or less while walking
• Knee Flexion, Right 73 Degrees, 50% less than normal

Palpation and Engineering based Musculoskeletal analysis were then performed, and the following treatment was prescribed and applied. 

Treatment 

Based on Range of Motion testing, and Palpation and Engineering based Musculoskeletal analysis following was determined and treatment prescribe for the lower body restrictions:

• Psoas/Iliacus 
• Rectus Femoris
• Popliteus

Due to the patients age and condition a conservative treatment plan was devised, and lower levels of pressure were selected for treatment.  Patient verbal feedback was continually utilized to increase the intensity of treatment.  

The patient was interviewed during stages of the treatment, and several comments related to the treatment were noteworthy.  The most relevant comment was that he extremely pleased, and intended to continue the treatment “because I walk better!”.   The second comment of note was the “treatment feels safe”.  When asked to expand, he elaborated that “other treatments” that were manually administered made him fearful of additional injury and anxious to attend and experience those treatment modalities.  Those treatments included chiropractic and manual therapy.  In comparison the consistency and precision of the Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Therapy was comforting and safe.  He described “looking forward to therapy” rather than fearing it.  

Treatment continued for 3 months with the following results. 

Results

Utilizing the Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Therapy Analysis Methodology, and Treatment Tools, the Patient’s results were profound.  Post treatment, the Range of Motion was tested again at various intervals with the following results:

• 1.5 months from initial treatment
• Hip Flexion, Right 76 Degrees, a 20% increase toward normal from initial measurement
• Knee Flexion, Right 96 Degrees, a 15% increase toward normal from initial measurement
• 3 months from initial treatment
• Hip Flexion, Right 90 Degrees, a 32% increase toward normal from initial measurement
• Knee Flexion, Right 112 Degrees, a 25% increase toward normal from initial measurement

The patient reported walking further every week, building mental confidence, being able to more easily get in and out of cars, and a general feeling of increased wellness and confidence.  That is life changing for anyone, but especially geriatric patients who usually continue in decline.  This is not only important results for geriatric patients, but all patients in the improved muscular health is highly correlated with overall quality of life and health in many ways, and improvements in the critical feeling of mental wellness.  Without a feeling of mental wellness, despair, depression, and physical health deteriorate more rapidly.  

Discussion

Muscle Delta Therapy is proven to be one of the safest, effective, and most mentally and physically comfortable treatment available for Geriatric Patients.  Utilizing the Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Therapy Analysis Methodology, and Treatment Tools, patients quickly and safely are returned to a healthy and pain free state.  It is important to restate more clearly that this therapy and technology is completely 100% non-invasive, non-surgical, medication-free, and expeditious.   The efficacy, and safety of Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Therapy cannot be overstated, especially when compared to other “deep penetrating” methodologies, and tools currently utilized in Physical and Orthopedic Therapy.  When compared to Laser, Shock, and Electrical therapies, in order to treat as deeply as Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Therapy Tools the power output of these other modalities must be set to very a powerful setting.  This high level of “energy” applied is indiscriminate, and is more than likely affecting other systems in a potentially very negative way.  They are essentially using “brute” force to penetrate into the body, they are not applied in a totally precise manner, and they definitely do not physiologically change the tissue like non-invasive pressure does.  

Muscle Delta Musculoskeletal Technology Advanced Training discusses human skeletal muscle hierarchical structure in detail, and how deep and precision therapy positively affects all the related systems within a muscle.  There are also many other positive changes within the muscles cellular structure, and they are all examined in the advanced training.  

Muscle Delta: Safety, Standards, and Effectiveness Overview
Compliance with Safety and Robotics Standards
Muscle Delta strictly adheres to all pertinent safety and robotics standards, ensuring its technology remains safe and reliable for users.

Collaborative Robotics Design and Safety
Collaborative robots (cobots) are fundamentally different from traditional industrial robots. By design, they cannot harm a human under any circumstances.

These cobots are limited to a maximum speed of 25mm per second to ensure safety during operation.

Key Collaborative Robot Safety Standards
ISO/TS 15066:2016 (International) and RIA TR R15.606-2016 (U.S.) provide the foundational safety requirements for collaborative robot systems. Importantly, it’s the system as a whole—not just the robot alone—that is evaluated for collaborative status.

Collaborative robot systems are a subset of industrial robot systems, not an alternative to them.

These guidelines build upon foundational industrial robot safety standards to maintain consistency and safety across all implementations.

Certified Medical and Electrical Standards
Muscle Delta technology is compliant with a comprehensive range of recognized medical and electrical equipment standards, including:

• ANSI/AAMI ISO 10993-1, 10993-5, 10993-10: Biological evaluation and toxicity testing of medical devices.
• IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-6, 60601-1-8: General requirements for basic safety, electromagnetic disturbance, usability, and alarm systems in medical electrical equipment.
• IEC 62366-1: Usability engineering for medical devices.
• IEC 62304: Medical device software life cycle processes.
• IEC/TR 60601-4-1, IEC TR 60601-4-2: Guidance for medical devices employing autonomy and electromagnetic immunity.
• IEC 80601-2-78: Particular requirements for safety and performance of medical robots used for rehabilitation and assessment.
• ISO 14971: Risk management for medical devices.
• ISO 15223-1: Symbols and labeling for medical devices.

Manufacturing and Certifications
Muscle Delta devices are 510(k) exempt and non-invasive.

All devices are manufactured by AHI Automation in Henderson, NV—a certified UL-listed assembler whose clients include Disney, Epcot, Royal Caribbean, The Sphere (Las Vegas), and DaVinci Surgery Robotics.

Each Muscle Delta device visibly displays the UL listing sticker, verifying electrical safety.

Clinical Use and Adoption
Muscle Delta technology has been used in hospitals such as Advent Health (formerly Florida Hospital) for pre- and post-surgery foot and ankle treatment.

The technology is trusted by sports organizations, including a purchase by the New York Jets.

Over 1,000 elite athletes (including household names) have been successfully treated using this system.

Ongoing evaluations are underway at several medical institutions, with double-blind studies planned within the next six months.

Methodology and Efficacy
Muscle Delta’s approach is rooted in a “muscle lengthening” methodology, which is recognized as the safest within its product class.

It is the method itself, not just the device, that delivers proven, repeatable improvements by aligning the body through proper muscle lengthening—a universal need as muscles naturally shorten over time.

This technique closely mimics manual therapy but does so with enhanced safety, precision, and repeatability.

Endorsements and Public Perception
Renowned athletes like Tom Brady, a major advocate for muscle pliability, publicly support muscle lengthening concepts. He has stated, “over time muscles shorten, and we need to lengthen muscles.”

Case studies posted by Muscle Delta support their claims, presenting data consistent with known standards and expert endorsements.

Legal and Regulatory Notes
All claims and product information are backed by proper certifications, with verification available on the devices.
