2. Osteopathic Structural Examination Flashcards

1
Q

Chiro. vs. OMT in somatic dysfunction

Q

What parameters used diagnose Somatic Dysfunction?

A

TART

TART usually does not present alone i.e can present along pain, etc

Q

TART

A

Tenderness

Asymmetry ******important

Restriction of Motion*******important

Tissue Texture -abnormality******important

Ideally want to have 2 parameters to confidently diagnose somatic dysfunction

Body Symmetry

(part of structural examination)

A

Back Mid-Gravity line:

vertical line from back through Inion,midheel point, knees midway, gluteal cleft, spinal column.

Lareral mid-gravity line:

(in coronal plane)

External Auditory Meatus

Odontoid Process of C2*

Middle of L-3 Vertebra*

Q

Somatic Dysfunctions for:

  • Long Muscle Hypertonicity or Spasm:
    • Levator Scapulae
    • Trapezius
    • Scalenes
    • Sternocleidomastoid

Lumbar-

  • Unilateral Psoas Spasm
  • Segmental Sidebending

Thoracic-

  • Segmental sidebending

Costal-

  • Rib Dysfunction Unilaterally (common in MVA where seatbelt can push lower ribs into exhale position permanently
