Osteopathic Tenants
- Body is a unit of mind, body and spirit
- Body is capable of self regulation and healing
- Structure and function are interrelated
- Rational treatment is based on the above principles
Flexner Report
1910 report that was a harsh criticism of med school quality and brought about higher standards for med edu
1916-1917 Influenza Pandemic
Pts treated with osteopathy has much lower mortality rate (0.25% vs 10%)
CA referendum prohibits new licensure of DOs, many trade in for MDs
1961
CA court rules DO licensure must resume
1974, catalyzed DO practice rights in all 50 states
First DO in military

NURSE acronym
expressing empathy to pts: name, understand respect, support, explore
Pt education should be written at
a 6th grade level
Subjective
Pts history: CC, HPI, ROS, PMH, PSH, Meds, Allergies, FH, SH
Objective
PE findings, labs, rads
Assessment
What I think is going on with the pt. not always a Dx
Plan
what we do about the problem
5 step approach to pt interview
- Introduction
- Get CC
- Open ended HPI questions
- More focused but still open ended questions for HPI
- Transition to clinician centered questions
Gloves to be worn when
there is blood or other body fluids present
Hand hygiene methods
soap and water; antiseptic handwash; alcohol based handrub; surgical hand hygiene
Handwashing steps
wet, lather, scrub, rinse, dry
BP cuff selection
length at least equal to 80% circumference of upper arm, width at least 40% length of upper arm
How to take BP by ausculation
- Select cuff
- Wrap cuff 1 in above cubital fossa
- Press bell (or diaphragm) over brachial a.
- Rapidly inflate to 180mmHg or 30mmg above anticipated systolic, release at moderate rate
- 1st sound (Korotkoff) is systolic, when sound disappears = diastolic
Pulse Grading
0 absent
1+ diminished
2+ normal
3+ bounding
Normal temp
97.8 - 99
Skin Lesions (flat primary lesions)
Macule: flat and <1cm
Patch: flat and >1cm
Skin Lesions (raised no fluid filled primary lesions)
Papule: raised <1cm not fluid filled
Plaque: raised >1cm not fluid filled
Skin Lesions (raised fluid filled primary lesions)
Vesicle: raised <1cm fluid filled
Bulla: raised >1cm fluid filled
Otoscope on <12mo child
pull ear down and back
Otoscope on child>12mo or adult
pull ear up and back
Reflex Grading
0 absent 1 diminished 2 normal 3 brisker than average 4 very brisk, hyperactive with rhythmic oscillations
Stance Phase summary
- Heel strike: establish contact
- Loading response: absorb ground reaction to weight
- Mid stance to pre-swing: carry body weight forward
Swing Phase Summary
- Toe off, mid-swing, terminal swing
- Goal is to clear foot, advance LE, prepare LE for loading
Ataxic gait
Neurologic, bilateral
Wide base with irregular steps (drunk or drain bamage)
Hemiparesis
Neurologic, unilateral
forearm flexed, leg extended, circumduction of affected leg (strokes)
Scissor gait
neurologic, bilateral
stiff legs, legs and feet commonly cross midline (spinal cord damage)
Steppage gait/ foot drop
neurologic, unilateral
hike up affected leg bc unable to dorsiflex foot (peroneal n. damage)
Parkinsonian gait
nerurologic, bilateral
stooped over, shuffling gait that speeds up involuntarily (fenestrating)
Waddling/ Trendelenberg gait
musculoskeletal, bilateral
hip drop away from side and lean towards affected side
Antalgic gait
musculoskeletal, unilateral
adjust gait in response to pain (limping) decreased stance phase on injured side
TART
Tissue texture abnormality
Asymmetry
Restriction of motion
Tenderness
Elastic range
difference in motion between the physiologic barrier and anatomic barrier
Restrictive barrier
functional limit that abnormally limits physiologic range
OMT contraindications
No SD, no consent, inappropriate clinical situation, anatomic or physiologic considerations
5 models of osteopathic care
Biomechanical respiratory-circulatory neurologic metabolic-energetic behavioral
CAGE Questions (alcohol)
anyone suggested you CUT back?
are you ANNOYED when ppl talk about your drinking?
do you feel GUILTY about ur drinking?
do you need a morning drink (EYE OPENER)?
Safe drinking limits
Women: no more than 3 drinks in a day and 7 in a week
Men: no more than 4 in a day and 14 per week
Rule of 3’s
T1-T3: SP at same level
T4-T6: SP 1/2 segment lower
T7-T10: SP 1 whole segment below
T11: SP 1/2 segment lower
T12: SP at same level
Spinal Landmarks: Spine of scapula
T3 SP and TPs
Spinal landmarks: Inferior angle of scapula
T7 SP and T8 TPs
Spinal landmarks: Iliac crests
L4
Superior facet orientations (C/T/L)
C-spine BUM
T-spine BUL
L-spine BM
Fryette Type 1
Neutral
Sidebending and Rotation opposite
Group of vertebrae
Fryette Type 2
Flexion or Extension
Sidebending and rotation same side
Single vertebrae
Fryette 3rd Principle
movement in one plane at a segment will modify movements in other planes at that segment
modification = improvement or restriction
Appropriate touch protocol
Explain to pt.
What you want to do Where your hands are going Why you want to use this technique Ask permission Document in SOAP note
SAFE mnemonic
used when screening for DV
S: feel SAFE in your relationship?
A: are you AFRAID or ABUSED?
F: do your FRIENDS and FAMILY know?
E: do you have an EMERGENCY PLAN?
