145
;5-S1 ambulatory compensation
Stance leg engages oblique sacral axis
-wt shift results in lumbar towards
As swing leg moves forward, sacral base moved anteriorly as well around stance leg axis
- torsion-rotation around oblique axis
- forward torsion=physiologic; backward=non physiologic
L spine rotates opposite
-think as your r arm swings forward, you rotate left
146
Treat LLD
OMT -resolve leg discrepancy
Home stretching/therapy
Follow up
147
Treat structural LLD
Same as functional, plus heel lift
But only when femoral head is >5mm
Max 1/2 heel lift, then progress to whole foot
Final lift height should be1/2-3/4 of measured sicrepancy, unless recent sudden cause apparent
148
Heilig lift formula
Total lift needle=sacral base unleveling/duration+compensation
Duration<10 yrs =1, 10-20=2, >30=3
Compensation non=0, L spine rotation/SB=1, wedging of vertebra=2
149
Acute changes
Full amount recommended
150
Physical therapists
Movement and promote development, ameliorate activity limitations
Collaborate
Advocate for patients
151
Acupuncture
Points in body that are pathways for qi to flow and traditional principles
Recruiting neuroanatomical activities in segmental distributions
152
Acupuncture theory
Neurochemical response to the placement of a needle into body
Body thinks injured so inflammation and releases mediators of healing when removed
153
5 elements
Boimechanical wood, fire behavior, water resp/circ, earth metabolic, metal neurologic
154
Why refer to acupuncture
Need more frequent treatments
Know physical problem and lab findings are negative and omt is not lasting
155
What know when refer to acupuncture
Frequency, acupuncturist training, insurance: not usually covered
156
Chiropractor
MSK and nervous system
Back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches
Examine, diagnosis, treatment, recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling
-clincial exam, lab test, diagnostic imaging
157
Boundaries of chiropractor
State reactive acts and regulated by state licensing boards. Have a 4 year doctoral graduate school program under US department of education.
Need CE credits
158
Why refer to DC
Lost skills of feels unskilled in OMT
Feels that the patient needs more frequent treatments.
Specializes in another area of practice
159
Things consider when refer to a DC
Frequency, HVLA, insurance-many accept but maybe a few per year
160
Occupational therapist
ADL an dwork assessment and treatment
Site evaluation
Performance
Equipment
Social support
Habilitation and rehab services under ACA manage chronic disease and improve function
161
Massage therapy
Strokes, lubricants, clothing, position, duration
162
Why refer to a massage therapist
Feel need more frequent treatment, feels muscle hypertonicity is so severe that whole body massage on a more frequent basis is needed
For lymphedema for consider a MT or PT who specialize in lymphatic massage with wrapping
163
Rolfing
Often consider a deep tissue approach, Rolfing bodywork actually works with all the layers of the body to ease strain patterns in the entire
A series of ten sessions
-ten-series is like a tune up for your body. The ten series is a systematic approach to aligning your structure; each session builds upon the last a prepares the body for the next
164
Rolfing certification
Basic-731 hours 3 phases and high school diploma
Advanced -3 year of practice adn 18 intermediate courses completed within a 7 year period
165
Yoga
Physical, mental, and spiritual practice or disciplines which originated in ancient India
Most likely developed around 6th and 5th centuries
Mixed and inconclusive results
166
Why send to yoga
Patient needs more frequent approach
Understands that the patient is either too tight, weak or both. And that a trial of yoga may be beneficial
167
Yoga prescription
Frequency and duration, key is to start conservative and increase as tolerated
168
Feldenkrais
Gentle movement and directed attention to help ppl learn new and more effective ways of living with their bodies
Based on physics, biomechanics, and an empirical understanding of learning and human development,
169
Why send to feldenkrais
Feels that the patient problems are based upon too much focus on their own pain
Observe that the patient has significantly ingrained maladaptive patterns of movement and posture
170
Prescription feldenkrais
Frequency/duration: daily practice depending upon the patient
Patient may attend weekly classes or individual sessions with a practitioner
171
Common aging MSK complaint
OA
172
