Grimsby Flashcards
What do you have to understand?
- Anatomy
- Pathology
- Biomechanics
- Histology
- Traumatology
- Neurology
- Exercise Physiology
- Examination
- Treatment (Manual Therapy and Exercise Prescription)
OGI - What is unique to this approach? (4)
- Manual therapy lesion
- Tissue specific diagnosis
- Scientific understanding of all of the sciences in relation to MSK management.
- Exercise dosage and prescription.
History
- In the 1970’s we integrated advanced biomechanics
- In the 1980’s we added current pain concepts
- In the 1990’s we added relevant histology for specific tissue repair
- In the 2000’s we integrated nutrition and supplements
- Through the last 10 years we added: pharmacology, electro-neuro-myography, clinical psychology, imagery, diagnostic methodology, >60 dissertations supporting our curricular evidence.
EBP
Today it is the gold standard for credentialed, “evidence based” therapy.
OGI Program Series
- 1 to 5 day weekend courses
- Manual therapy clinical certification
- Orthopedic clinical residency
- Manual therapy fellowship
- Advanced clinical specialist - Ph.D
Examination
- Initial Observation
- History/Interview
- Structural Inspection
- Active Movements
- Passive Movements
- Resisted Movements X 3 (3 position testing)
- Palpation
- Neurological Examination (after AROM)
- Specific Mobility Tests and Positional Faults
- Specific Regional Tests (special tests -1st)
- Additional Test (MRI, x-ray, etc.)
- Correlation
- Treatment
- Prognosis
Cyriax Differential Diagnosis
A. Provoked Tissue - Normal Tissue = Pathological Tissue
B. Pathological Tissue - Contraindications = Treatment
Compare and Analyze Movements - Active and Passive
- Active Movements: Test all anatomical structures
- Passive Movements: Test all “inert” structures (nerve, ligaments, capsules, bursa, bone, blood vessels, connective tissue).
Arthrogenic vs. Soft Tissue Lesion
- Active and passive motion is restricted and/or painful in the same direction. –> Arthrogenic Lesion
- Active and passive motion is restricted and/or painful in the opposite direction. –> Soft Tissue Lesion
- Test restricted motion in 3 different positions of the joint to evaluate entrapments. –> Soft Tissue Lesion
SBR increases pain
- Compromise foramen R
- Increase of disc protrusion
- Incarcerated capsule
- Facet entrapment syndrome
- Painful inf. facet capsule
SBL increases pain
- Protrusion in n. root axilla
- Adhesion about a root
- Painful superior facet
- Tender muscles
RL increases pain
- Incarcerated capsule
- Compromise neural foramen
- Increase disc protrusion
RR increases pain
- Facet capsule stretch
- Protrusion in a n. root axilla
SBL and RR increases pain
-Facet capsular stretch
SBL and RL increase pain
- Incarcerated capsule
- Facet capsule stretch
SBL relieves pain
-Neural compromise
SBR eases pain
-Protrusion in n. root axilla
What are the SOURCES of pain in the neck?
- muscle spasm
- ligaments
- disc
- facet joint
- bone
Need to differentiate between these:
- Cervical disc
- Facet entrapment
- Facet arthritis
- Nerve root compression
- Uncovertebral pathology
- Ligamentous strain
- Capsulitis
- Whiplash associated disorder
- Muscle strain
- Trigger points/chronic tension
- Upper cervical vs. lower cervical
