2c Flashcards
What level is the first spine that sticks out dominantly in the neck?
C7
What level is the PSIS?
S2
What level is the Angle of Louis?
T4
What level is the xiphoid process?
T9
What is the Angle of Louis?
Where manubrium and sternum meet
Umbilicals level
L3-L4 interspace
Greater trochanter is same level as what?
Pubic Symphysis
Define “Somatic Dysfunction”
Impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (bodywork) system including the skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures and their related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements
Is Somatic Dysfunction treatable with OMT?
Yes
What is the Soma?
Skeletal
Arthrodial
Myofascial
What are the neural, vascular, and lymphatic elements?
Related to Soma
What is the most important part of TART?
None; depends on which model or treatment you intend to use but Restriction is key
TTA
Tissue Texture Abnormality (TTC)
Can we measure Sensitivity in TART?
Yes; STAR
3 things to use for “Tenderness”
- Biomechanical
- Counterstrain TPs
- Travell trigger points
3 things to use for “Asymmetry”
- Postural Model
- Axial somatic dysfunction
- Appendicular somatic dysfunction
Restricted Motion 2 things
- Zink Fascia = regions
2. AGR = segments
3 things for “Tissue Texture Change”
- Acute-Chronic
- Neurological
- Congestion (fluid changes)
Can tenderness be specific?
Yes
Restriction on Motion 4 benefits
- Helps identify tissue type of dysfunction
- Allows naming articular dysfunction
- Allows positioning for direct or indirect methods
- Patten aids in “Differential Diagnosis”
What is a Somatic Dysfunction Barrier?
Freedom in one area and restriction in another
Patter of barrier can show what?
Position that patient was in when injury/dysfunction occurred
Paired elements bilaterally restricted shows what?
Probably inflammation/pathlogical as opposed to somatic dysfunction
Passive Motion gives what feel?
“End” feel
T5 somatic dysfunction shows what?
T5 moving on T6
What is useful in defining barriers?
End feel
Anatomic barrier
Limit of PASSIVE motion
Physiological Barrier
Limit of ACTIVE motion
Elastic Barrier
Range between physiological and anatomical barrier of motion in which passive ligamentous stretching occurs before tissue disruption
What is a Restrictive Barrier
Functional limit that abnormally diminishes the normal physiological range
Name the 4 barriers for a single direction
- Physiological
- Elastic
- Anatomical
- Restrictive
