Midterm Material Flashcards
1961 event where DOs traded degree for MD degree
California incident; prohibited DO licenses

Marcelino Oliva
1st Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
The mind, body & spirit are a unit
2nd Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance
3rd Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
4th Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
Rational treatment is based upon understanding and implementing the other 3 tenets
Active ROM
Pt motivated and pt must give maximum effort
Acute Somatic Dysfunction
Immediate or short-term impairment or altered function
Characterized by: vasodilation, edema, tenderness, pain, and tissue contraction
Anatomical Barrier (AB)
limit of motion imposed by anatomical structure; limit of passive motion
Anterior Landmarks
acromion, clavicle, rib cage, umiblicus, crest of ilium, greater trochanter, patellar alignment
Articulatory Technique (ART)
- “sprining” techniques; gentle and reptetitive motions through restrictive barrier
- low velocity/high amplitude
- direct
Articulatory Technique Contraindications
- fracture/dislcoation
- neurologic entrapment syndrome
- serious vascular compromise
- local malignancy
- local infection
- bleeding disorders
Articulatory Technique Indications
well tolerated by:
- arthritic pts
- elderly or frail
- critically ill or post operative
- infants or very young patients
- patients unable to cooperate with instructions
Asymmetry
Absence of symmetry of position or motion
Asymmetry of muscles treatment goals
return symmetry and normalize tone
AT Still flung banner of osteopathy to the breeze on…

Axial and Appendicular Fascia (investing layer)
internal to pannicular layer; fused to panniculus and surrounds all muscles and periosteum of bone and peritendons of tendons
Barrier “end feel” characteristics
Bone to bone (elbow extension)
Soft tissue approximation (knee flexion)
Tissue stretch (finger extension)
Bind
palpable restriction of connective tissue mobility
Bogginess (tissue texture change)
tissue texture abnormality characterized by sense of sponginess in tissue (resulting from congestion due to increased fluid)
Chronic Somatic Dysfunction
Impairment or altered function of related components of the somatic system
Characterized by: tenderness, itching, fibrosis, paresthesias, tissue contraction
Concentric isotonic muscle contraction
contraction of a muscle with shortening of muscle length
Contraction
Normal tone of muscle when it shortens
Contracture
Abnormal shortening of muscle due to fibrosis; result of chronic condition; muscle unable to reach normal length
Coupled motion
consistent association of motion about one axis with another motion about a second axis; principle motion cannot be produced without both
Creep
connective tissue under sustained, constant load will elongate (deform) in response to load
Crossed extensor reflex (MET)
used when muscle needing treatment is severely injured (burns or fractures); when flexor of one extremity is contracted volunarily, flexor muscle in contralateral extremity relaxes and extensor contracts
Describe Fascia
connective tissue layers composed of collagen fibers in an amorphous matrix of hydrated proteoglycans (PGs) which links collagen fiber networks together
Direct Techniques
go towards & eventually through the restrictive barrier
Ease
the direction in which connective tissue may be moved most easily during deformational stretching; palpated as a sense of tissue “looseness”
Eccentric isotonic muscle contraction
contraction of a muscle with increase in length of muscle
Ectomorph vs Endomorph vs Mesomorph
Ectomorph = associated w/ ectoderm (tall and lean) Endomorph = associated w/ endoderm (thick and heavy); also pyknic Mesomorph = associated w/ mesoderm (average person)
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Dx
Beighton score + Brighton criteria
Elastic barrier
range between physiologic and anatomic barrier or motion in which stretching occurs before tissue disruption; area that “warms up” with stretching
End Feel of ROM Meanings: abrupt, crisp, hard, elastic, empty
Abrupt - OA or hinge joint
Crisp - involuntary muscle guarding (pinched nerve)
Hard - somatic dysfunction
Elastic - like a rubber band
Empty - stops due to guarding (pt doesn’t allow motion due to pain)
Factors Influencing Successful Muscle Energy - by Operator
- not controlling joint position in relation to barrier movement
- not providing counterforce in correct direction
- not giving accurate instruction
- moving to new joint position too soon after pt stops contracting
First and lasts states to legally licence DO’s
Vermont and Mississippi
First Female Dean of Medical College
Barbara Ross-Lee
first woman to receive DO degree
Jeanette Bolles
Functional unit of spinal cord
two vertebrae, their associated disc, neurovascular and other soft tissues
Hooke’s Law
Strain (deformation) placed on elastic body is proportion to stress (force) placed on it
Hypertonia
state of abnormally high muscle tension; spastic
