Lecture Exam 1 Flashcards
tenet 1
the body is a unit
tenet 2
the body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms
tenet 3
structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
tenet 4
rational therapy is based upon an understanding of body unity, self-regulatory mechanisms, and the interrelationship of structure and function
somatic dysfunction definition
impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (bodywork) system
somatic system structures
skeletal, arthrodial, myofascial (SAM)
somatic system elements
vascular, lymphatic, neural (VLAN)
how do you diagnose somatic dysfunction?

first T in TART
tissue texture abnormalities
A in TART
asymmetry (static or active)
R in TART
restriction of motion
second T in TART
tenderness
how do you name somatic dysfunction?
direction in which motion is freer
acute somatic dysfunction
impairment or altered function of related components of the body framework system
acute somatic dysfunction characteristics
pain, erythema, relative warmth, increased moisture/bogginess, vasodilation, edema, tenderness, tissue contraction
chronic somatic dysfunction
impairment or altered function of long-standing duration of related components of the body framework system
chronic somatic dysfunction characteristics
itching, paresthesia, palpable sense of tissue dryness, coolness, tissue contracture, fibrosis tenderness, pallor
contracture definition
abnormal, sometimes permanent, contraction of a muscle
acute tissue texture abnormality words
erythema, hot, boggy, edema, spasm, tissue contraction
chronic tissue texture abnormality words
pale/blanching, cool, ropey, stringy, scar, doughy
how do you treat somatic dysfunction?
osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT)
OMT
therapeutic application of manually guided forces to improve physiology function and/or support homeostasis that has been altered by somatic dysfunction
which is greater, AROM or PROM
PROM
active range of motion (AROM)
patient does the moving
passive range of motion (PROM)
doctor does the moving
physiologic barrier
limit of active motion
anatomic barrier
limit imposed by anatomic structure
elastic range
range between the physiologic and anatomic barrier (end of passive motion)
restrictive barrier
functional limit that abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range
levels of evidence: A
randomized clinical trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, meta-analyses of RCTs
levels of evidence: B
case-control or cohort studies, retrospective studies, certain uncontrolled studies
levels of evidence: C
consensus statements, expert guidelines, usual practice, opinion
OMT contraindications
no somatic dysfunction, patient does not consent, inappropriate clinical situation
post-OMT symptoms
rare adverse symptoms
avoiding post-OMT symptoms
proper H&P, appropriate techniques, appropriate application of technique, hydration and rest
post-OMT soreness is similar to
post-exercise soreness
three body types
mesomorphic, ectomorphic, endomorphic
mesomorphic
muscular or sturdy body build, middle ranges of ROM, relative prominence of structures developed from the embryonic mesoderm
mesomorph example
Harrison Ford, 6’1” 180lbs
ectomorphic
thin body build, higher ranges of ROM, relative prominence of structures developed from the embryonic ectoderm
ectomorph example
Scottie Pippen, 6’8” 228lbs
endomorphic
heavy body build, lower ranges of ROM, relative prominence of structures developed from embryonic endoderm
endomorph example
Howard Taft, 6’0” 335lbs
color words
pale, erythema, jaundice, cyanosis, necrosis
pallor may indicate
anemia
erythema may indicate
inflammation
jaundice may indicate
cirrhosis
cyanosis may indicate
poor oxygenation, coldness
notable skin findings
lesions, scars, tattoos, piercings
skin lesion ABCDE
asymmetry, border, color, diameter, evolution
skin lesion asymmetry
a line in the middle would not create matching halves
skin lesion border
irregular, wavy, jagged border clearly defined against surrounding skin
skin lesion color
uneven color, light brown to black
skin lesion diameter
> 6mm
skin lesion evolution
rapid evolution of size (width), color or thickness
what factors create asymmetry?
bone deformity, joint deformity, kyphoscoliosis, postural, sacral base unleveling, somatic dysfunction
anterior view head landmarks

anterior view lower extremities landmarks
patellar alignment, medial and lateral malleoli
anterior view trunk landmarks
angle of rib cage, umbilicus
anterior view pelvis landmarks
crest of ilium, greater trochanter levels
posterior view above the pelvis landmarks
carriage of head, scapular spine, scapula angle, medial scapular border, arm carriage, spinous process alignment or deviation from midline
posterior view pelvis and lower extremity landmarks
iliac crest heights, PSIS, greater trochanter, gluteal line, popliteal line and space, Achilles tendon, medial and lateral malleoli
lateral view plumb line landmarks

plane
flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points on it would wholly lie
axis
straight line around which on object rotates
