CPA1 Flashcards
Osteopathic Tenets
- the body is a unit
- the body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms
- Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
- Rational therapy is based upon understanding of body unity, self-regulatory mechanisms, and interrelationship of structure and function
Somatic Dysfunction
the impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic system including Skeletal, Arthrodial, and Myofascial structures
How do you diagnose Somatic Dysfunction?
Tissue Texture Abnormalities Asymmetry Restriction of motion Tenderness (need two to confirm dysfunction)
Tissue Texture abnormalities
temperature, drag, texture, edema, bogginess, elasticity, dryness, oiliness, scars, contraction, flaccidity, spasm, ropey, stringy
How to name Somatic Dysfunction
Direction in which the motion is freer= Name Somatic dysfunction for what it will do
Acute Somatic Dysfunction
Pain, erythema, relative warmth, increased moisture/bogginess, vasodilation, edema, tenderness, tissue contraction
Chronic Somatic Dysfunction
Itching, paresthesia (pins and needles), tissue dryness, coolness, tissue contracture, fibrosis tenderness, pallor
Contraction
process of which a muscle becomes shorter and tighter
Contracture
abnormal permanent contraction
OMT
therapeutic application of manually guided forces by an osteopathic physician to improve physiologic function and support homeostasis that has been altered by somatic dysfunction
