Dynamic Exercise
Joint movement resulting from muscular exertion (concentric or eccentric).
Davis's Law
Davis's Law states: that soft tissue models along the line of stress. Which when applied means we must train in optimal alignment and never allow gross compensations or the tissues will adapt to the potential detrimental forces placed upon the human movement system (kinetic chain).
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Pressure exerted by the blood on the vessel walls when the heart is in its filling stage (bottom number).
Distal
Further away from the center or median line.
Diuretics
A class of drugs used to force the kidney to excrete more sodium than usual. Increased sodium excretion causes increased water excretion, so urine volume increases. The increased sodium excretion is desirable and therapeutic in disorders causing abnormal fluid retention due to heart failure, liver failure or kidney failure.
Dorsal
Pertaining to the back.
Dynamic Posture
The maintenance of the instantaneous axis or rotation of any/all working joints.
