Didactic_Lecture 2 Flashcards
The 5 Osteopathic Models In Patient Assessment & Treatment
- are specific care approaches to the patient
- represent physiological functions that maintain health
- the 5 models play key roles in:
- Adaptation to stressors
- Recovery & repair from illness and disease
Osteopathic Philosophy & the 5 Models
the physcial musculoskeletal system often will reflect signs of internal diseases
5 models provide framework for interpreting significance of somatic dysfunction
Biomechanical Anatomical Correlates
Respitory-Circulatory Anatomical Correlates
- Thoracic inlet
- Thoracic & pelvic diaphragms
- Tentorium cerebelli
- Costal cage
Metabolic-Energy Anatomical Correlates
- Internal organs
- Endocrine glands
Neurological Anatomical Correlates
- Head (organs of special senses)
- Brain
- Spinal cord
- Autonomic nervous system (ANS)
- Peripheral nerves
Behavioural Anatomical Correlates
Brain
Biomechanical Physiological Functions
- Posture
- motion
Respiratory-Circulatory Physiological Functions
- respiration
- circulation
- venous & lymphatic drainage
Metabolic-Energy Physiological Functions
-
Metabolic processes:
- homeostasis
- energy balance
- regulatory processes
- Immunological activities and inflammation & repair
- Digestion, absorption of nutrients, waste removal
- Reproduction
Neurological Physiological Function
- Control & coordination
- Integration of body functions
- Protective mechanisms ( i.e. fight or flight)
- Sensation
Behavioural Physiological Function
- Psychological & social activities (e.g., stress, work, family)
- Habits (e.g., sleep, exercise, drug abuse)
- Values, attitudes, beliefs
Biomechanical Model OMT Techniques
Objective: Optimize patient’s adaptive potential through restoring structural integrity & functio
- Assess patient for structure abnormality (somatic dysfunction)
- Use OMT to correct somatic dysfunction = patient regains associated structural, vascular, neurologic, metabolic, & behavioral functions.
EX) Whiplash
Biomechanical Dysfunctions
Structural impediment via dysfunction of muscles, joints, connective tissue
- Can compromise vascular or neurological structures
- ↓↓↓ patient’s homeostatic capacity (Patient’s ability to adapt to insults & stressors)
Respiratory-Circulatory Central Processes
Tissues that screw the circulation of body fluids can affect health of tissues
- Central neural control
- CSF fluid flow
- Pulmonary & cardiovascular function
