2. OMM Research Flashcards
The knowledge of current research on OMM come from the basis of his questioning.
Who?
AT Still
In the first 1/3 of the 1900s, research was encouraged at the COMs. What aspects of OMT where considered and what did the results form the basis for?
- Neural and physiologic aspects of SD.
- How OMT affects symptoms and immune function
The results form the basis for what to study later
The 1940s showed growth in the professional research d.t what 2 researchers?
Denslow and Korr
What was the state of the osteopathic profession in the late 1950s?
In the late 1950s, there was controversy in the osteopathic profession d.t the California merger. We missed out on NIH research money and on expansion of the profession. Thus, in thr 1960s we had to fight for our lives
After the merger, what schools remained?
- Kirksville
- KC
- Des Moines
- PCOM
- Des Moines
When did we start to expand the number of schools and what did this mean?
1970-2000.
More faculty = more research; AOA started to encourage research and form more research rewards; outside sources began to fund OS research and residency programs began requiring it.
2001 -2007 Profession lacked a research
institute. Where did we open the first one?
Texas Osteopathic research school, then, AT Still opened one
After 2008, what happened?
expanding amount of research in the US and around the world
AOA Bureau of Research definition of OMM research?
Whatever the investigator states is the relevance of their proposed project to osteopathic philosophy and principles, theories, mechanisms or practice.
What are the 6 definitions of OMM research?
- OMM research is something done at an OMM instutiion.
- OMM research is something that looks at autonomics and Immune Functions
- OMM research is something that looks at Spinal Cord Facilitation
- OMM research is something that looks at OMT efficacy
- OMM research is research on whole patient care
- OMM research is any and all research at a COM
Who are the 4 big contributers to OMM research?
- Louisa Burns, DO
- J. Stedman Denslow, DO
- Irvin Korr, PhD
- William Johnston, DO
What OS researcher induced spinal fixations on animals and then observed the VISCERO-SOMATIC effects of the lesions on the
[lungs, heart, kidneys, brain, GI and reproductive organs]
Louisa Burns
What researcher worked with Louisa Burns from 48-50 and what did they do?
Dr. Wilbur Cole.
He reproduced her experiments so acheive internal validation
Who coined the term sympatheticotonia, a heightened sympathetic tone d/t a disease process?
Dr. I.M Korr, PhD
What researcher looked at changes in galvanic skin resistance in areas with palpatory findings of SD d/t disturbances in autonomic function ?
Dr. Ivan Korr PhD
What researcher documented and quantified how muscle reflexes interact with autonomic changes in areas of SD (or osteopathic lesions as they called it back in the day)??
JS Denslow (1906-?)
What researcher was a proponent for standard terminology and had a major role in facilitation of the spinal cord?
J.S Denslow
Who was the director at AT Still Research Institute 1917-1935 (18 years) and was paid as AOA researcher until 1950?
Louisa Burns
Louisa Burns had how many years is OMM research?
50
What researcher looked at the axoplasmic flow & the trophic function of nerves?
Dr. Ivan Korr PhD
What 2 researchers were involved in facilitation of the spinal cord/
Dr. Ivan Korr PhD
Dr. Denslow
What researcher was known for conducting [reliability studies, validity studies and studying viscero-somatic reflexes?]
Dr. William Johnston
What researcher was known as the “The Second Great Philosopher of Osteopathic Medicine” and why?
Dr. Ivan Korr PhD.
He took Still’s anatomical foundation and added physiological function to it.
What researcher studied “Reflex Activity in the Spinal Extensors”, using EMG/palpation correlation to document muscle reflex changes in areas that have osteopathic lesions
J.S Denslow
What researcher really pushed peer-review research?
Dr. Ivan Korr PhD
