A

Dr. Still adboped the word Osteopathy because he believed it was a suitible term to associated with his teaching, that upon the structural integrity of the body, especially its supporting tissues depends on the proper functioning of that body

Q

What is the definition of Osteopathy as a school of medicine?

A

Osteopathy is a complete system of therapy based on two fundamentals;
(1) the normal, living body creates its own remedies against infection and other toxic agents;
(2) the body is a vital machine, and correct adjustment is necessary if these remedies are able to be created and applied where needed

45
Q

What is a characteristic of a chronic lesion?

A

some acute symptoms which with slight provocations definitely increase. The chronic lesion may be either traumatic or reflex

46
Q

What is a fibrous contracture?

A

Nature removes many acute lesions, but the effect of inflammation repeatedly occurring in the tissues of a certain joint is cumulative, and formation of

fibrous tissue in muscle fasciculi and ligament-fibres is stimulated.

47

Are bone malposition’s more frequent in traumatic or reflex lesions?

A

Bone malposition’s are more frequent in traumatic than reflex lesions

49

59
Q

When is force applied to a spinal lesion more damaging?

A

Torsional Forces

60
Q

What happens when the receptors in the facet surfaces and in the muscles and ligaments of the joint with a spinal lesion?

A

receive abnormal (continuous) irritation from the pressure of abnormal position and from pressure of tension in the muscle and ligaments.

61
Q

What are the changes to the impulses from these receptors?

(receptors in the facet surfaces and in the muscles and ligaments of the joint with a spinal lesion?)

A

Impulses, abnormal in quality, volume, intensity, persistence, or continuousness,

62
Q

What defines an abnormal stimulus?

A

A change in quality, volume, intensity, or frequency

63
Q

What happens to vasomotor signals as abnormal impulses pass out from the cord to the joint muscle fibres?

A

Abnormal vasomotor impulses are passing to all the blood vessels of the joint

64
Q

What are the causes of nerve ending irritations?

A

Toxic/ Chemicals, Tension within the muscle substance and the blood-vessel walls cause a congestion by damming up the venous blood and lymph

65
Q

What is diapedesis as described by Louisa Burns?

A

Another result of the pressure from the tension and of the vasomotor disturbance is a seepage of blood corpuscles into the spaces about the congested capillaries. This is the hemorrhage

66
Q

What happens to the receptors during pressure?

A

“The sensitivity of receptors and the conductivity if nerve-fibrils are altered by the change in pressure and also by the chemical change in lymph.

67
Q

What does abnormal pressure to receptor nerve endings and pressure on the capillaries in the joint tissue cause?

A

Obstructed blood supply and drainage to tissues. This results in Lowered alkalinity and toxicity in the tissues

which produces, Oedema and is accompanied by, intracellular pressure, which permits Hemorrhage per diapedesis

68
Q

What is the cause of the abnormal nerve flow from a lesioned segment?

A

producing in the involuntary muscle-fibres an abnormally high and continuous tonic tension,

69
Q

What two kinds of fibres are voluntary muscles are made up of?

A

(1) those that respond to voluntary nerve messages
(2) those that respond to involuntary messages.

70
Q

What is a contraction?

A

Shortening of VOLUNTARY fibers in a muscle. (Short time and will become Exhausted)

71
Q

What is a contracture?

A

A shortening of INVOLUNTARY fibres in a muscle. They can remain in this condition indefinitely.

72
Q

What does Howell say about Contracture?

A

“Contracture” is meant a state of maintained contraction,

a state of retarded relaxation.

In contracture the muscle is held in a state of maintained contraction of tonicity.

73
Q

What kind of stress causes mal adjustment in spinal tissues too great to be automatically returned to normal? (4)

A

(1) too sudden and unexpected
(2) too great in force
(3) applied over a too long period of time
(4) applied torsionally.

74
Q

What does Trenery say about fractures to the lumbar transverse processes?

A

Fractures of the lumbar transverse processes due solely to muscular activity are consistently to be watched for

75
Q

What is Trauma?

A

implies that a force is too great for the structure of that joint normally to meet with safety is delivered directly to it by muscles or is passed along to it by and through ligaments

76
Q

How does prolonged strain act in creating a spinal lesion?

A

(1) Directly through the anatomical lever of spinal ligaments and bones

(2) through prolonged repetition of contractions in voluntary, superficial, back muscles.

77
Q

The immediate results of the abnormal strain which localizes in the spinal joint are ?? (4)

A

1) violent rotational-side-bending of a vertebra upon the vertebra below
(2) articular processes move to or beyond the normal range
(3) facet surfaces become “angulated”
(4) involuntary fibers in the short, deep, intrinsic muscles of the joint instantaneously go into an abnormal degree of tonic shortening and so remain.

78
Q

What happens to a rib when it is in lesion?

A

rib “rolls” in its position and the articular surface on the rib becomes “angulated” (one edge of the articulation on the rib is approximated to and impinges upon the surface of the articulation on the other bone).

79
Q

What produces most traumatic spinal lesions?

A

produced by force applied by one or more of the heavy groups of back muscles and localized in a certain section or in a single spinal joint. This muscle force is made possible by and comes through the legs and arms.

80
Q

What does powerful outside force applied to one part of the body cause when the spinal muscles are relaxed pass through?

A

A powerful outside force applied to one part of the body when the spinal muscles are relaxed through the spinal ligaments to a joint whose auricular facets receive and angular twist; and before the intrinsic muscles of the joint can contract to protect the joint, rotation-side-bending goes too far and articular facets are forced out if normal apposition and are angulated, one upon another.

81
Q

The rapid cooling or the exposure of the back to chilling drafts does??

A

acting through nerve receptors in the skin, in muscles, or in blood vessels, is in some instances the cause of abnormal tension is too high tonic shortening of the involuntary fibres in deep, intrinsic, spinal joint muscles.

82
Q

What is a Strain?

A

Strain is effort exerted on a bone and through it to ligaments and muscles

83
Q

Sprain may happen in??

A

muscle tissues, in subflavous, longitudinal, and rib head ligaments, and perhaps in discs

84
Q

What are predisposing causes of lesions?

A

Trauma of an earlier period of life has left a disability in the tissues of the joint and has prepared. It to be the site of the lesion

85
Q

What does the normal motion in a spinal joint mean?

A

The Joint can flex, extend, side-bend, and rotate through the movements required of it.

86
Q

What is a fixed facet?

A

It is rare to find rigidity in the tissues of an articulation of such a degree that all motion is lost.

87
Q

Why does compensation lead to secondary lesions?

A

are not always able to do without themselves showing the effects of too great stress

88
Q

What are six characteristics of perverted movement?

A

1) Muscular tension
2) Ligamentous rigidity
3) Malposition of bony parts
4) Perversion of movement
5) Perverted nerve activities
6) Vascular stasis or oedema

89
Q

What are characteristics of perversion of movement?

A

1) deficient in amount
2) restricted in certain directions
3) restricted in certain positions
4) there may be relaxed tissues and too free movement.
