4- Function and Dysfunction Flashcards

0
Q

What are the causes of somatic dysfunction?

A

A stress alteration of the somatic tissues that prevents the components from returning to their resting states. This includes macrotrauma (major trauma) and microtrauma

Q

What is “somatic dysfunction”? What does it affect?

A

Impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system: skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures, and related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements

Q

What is a barrier to motion

A

The limit of a motion or a restriction or binding point felt when a joint is put through it’s range of motions.

Q

What is the Anatomic Barrier?

A

It is the limit of motion imposed by the anatomic structure. It is the limit of passive motion!

15
Q

What is a Restrictive Barrier?

A

A functional limit with anatomic range of motion, which abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range of motion

16
Q

What is a Pathologic Barrier?

A

A permanent restriction of joint motion associated with pathologic change of tissues (examples: contracture [muscle shortening] or osteophytes [bone spurs])

17
Q

What is an Elastic Barrier?

A

The range between physiologic and anatomic barrier of motion in which passive ligamentous stretching occurs before tissue disruption.

18
Q

Which is greater, passive or active motion?

A

Passive (done by the Physician)

PP

19
Q

Which is greater, Anatomic or Physiologic Barrier?

A

Anatomic Barrier

20
Q

Which is more restrictive, active motion or passive motion?

A

Active motion

21
Q

Does Anatomic Barrier go with active motion or passive motion?

A

Passive Motion

22
Q

Does Active motion go with Anatomic Barrier or Physiologic Barrier?

A

Physiologic

23
Q

What is the range between Anatomic and Physiologic Barrier?

A

Elastic Barrier

24
Q

If you had full anatomical motion, and were hit by a bus. Now you have limited motion, what barrier do you hit when you try to move an injured area?

A

The restrictive barrier

25
Q

What is the definition of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment?

A

The Therapeutic application of manually guided forces by an osteopathic physician to improve physiologic function and/or support homeostasis

26
Q

What is Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM)?

A

The application of osteopathic philosophy, structural diagnosis and the use of OMT in the diagnosis and management of a patient.

27
Q

What is the difference between direct and indirect osteopathic techniques?

A

A direct technique engages the restrictive barrier and carries the dysfunctional component toward or through the restrictive barrier.

An indirect technique DOES NOT engage the the restrictive barrier. The dysfunctional body part is moved away from the restrictive barrier until tissue tension is equal in one or all planes and directions
