Q

What is somatic dysfunction?

A

The impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (bodywork) system including:

  • Skeletal
  • Arthrodial
  • Myofascial structure
    • Pneumonic → SAM
  • Related vascularture, lymphatic, and neural elements
    • Pneumonic → VLAN (A=and)

  • Active and direct technique
  • Cannot be used if patient is in a coma, uncooperative, too young to follow commands, or unresponsive
164
Q

A

Muscle tension allows the origin and insertion to separate, in effect to lengthen the muscle

165
Q

What is concentric contraction?

A

Contraction of a muscle resulting in the approximation of the origin and insertion, to shorten the muscle

166
Q

The distance between the origin and the insertion of the muscle is maintained at a constant length (neight eccentric nor concentric)

Example: Wall squats, without sliding down the wall

170
Q

What is the goal of Post-Isometric Relaxation?

A

Muscle relaxation

*MOST COMMON FORM OF MUSCLE ENERGY*

171
Q

What are the physiologic basis of Post-Isometric Relaxation?

A
  • Immediately after an isometric contraction, the neuromuscular apparatus is in a refractory state during which passive stretching may be performed without encountering strong myotatic reflex opposition
  • With muscle contraction, there may also be increased tension on the Golgi organ proprioceptors in the tendons; this inhibits the active muscle’s contraction
172
Q

A

Sustained gentle pressure (10-20 lbs)

173
Q

What is the initial set-up for Post-Isometric Relaxation?

174
Q

What are the next steps after initial set up for Post-Isometric Relaxation?

A
  • Patient contracts away from the restrictive barrier (indirect)
  • Physician resists the contraction towards the restrictive barrier (direct) for 3-5 seconds so the origin and insertion of the muscle remain at the same distance (no movement)
  • Both patient and physician completely relax (1-2 seconds) and then the patient is passively moved into the new barrier
  • This process is repeated 3-5 times or until no new barriers are reached
  • RE-EVALUATE!!
175
Q

A
176
Q

What is the goal of Reciprocal Inhibition?

A

To lengthen a muscle shortened by cramp or acute spasm

177
Q

What is the physiologic basis of Reciprocal Inhibition?

A

When a gentle contraction is initiated in the agonist muscle, there is a reflexive relaxation of that muscle’s antagonist group

Example: cramping hamstring (agonist), contraction of quad (antagonist)

178
Q

What is the force of contraction for Reciprocal Inhibition?

A

Think ounces, not pounds of pressure

179
Q

What is technique for Reciprocal Inhibition?

A
  • Initial setup: passive movement into the restrictive barrier (direct)
  • Patient contracts TOWARD the restrictive barrier (direct)
  • Patient relaxes and after complete relaxation, is passively placed into the new restrictive barrier
  • Example of a diagnosis: hypertonic hamstrings
180
Q

What is the goal of Crossed Extensor Reflex?

A

Used in the extremities where the muscle that requires treatment is in an area so severely injured (ie fracture or burns) that is cannot be manipulated or is inaccessible

Example of diagnosis: hypertonic right hamstring

181
Q

What is the physiologic basis for Crossed Extensor Reflex?

A

This form of muscle energy technique uses the learned cross pattern locomotion reflexes in the CNS. When the flexor muscle in one extremity is contracted voluntarily, the flexor muscle in the contralateral extremity relaxes and the extensor contracts

182
Q

What is the force of contraction for Crossed Extensor Reflex?

A

Think ounces, not pounds of pressure

183
Q

What is the goal of Oculocephalogyric Reflex?

A

184
Q

What is the physiologic basis for Oculocephalogyric Reflex?

Force is exceptionally gentle

Example diagnosis: OA E RRSL ??

185
Q

What is the goal of Respiratory Assistance?

A

Improve body physiology with the patient’s voluntary respiratory mechanisms

186
Q

What is the physiologic basis of Respiratory Assistance?

Force of contraction?

A

The muscular forces involved in these techniques are generated by the simple act of breathing. This may involve the direct use of the respiratory muscles themselves, or motion transmitted to the spine, pelvis, and extremities in response to ventilation motions. The Physician usually applies a fulcrum a/g which the respiratory forces can work.

Force - exaggerated respiratory motions

Example diagnosis: sacral dysfunction

187
Q

What is the goal of Isolytic Lengthening?

A

To lengthen a muscle shortened by contracture and fibrosis

Example diagnosis: contracture of the bicep

188
Q

What is the physiologic basis for Isolytic Lengthening?

A

It is postulated that the vibration used here has some effect on the myotatic units in addition to mechanical and circulatory effects.

189
Q

What is the force of contraction for Isolytic Lengthening?

A

Maximal contraction that can be comfortably resisted by the physician (30-50 lbs of pressure)

190
Q

What is the goal of Isokinetic Strengthening?

A

To reestablish normal tone and strength in a muscle weakened by reflex hypertonicity of the opposing muscle group

Example of diagnosis: Weak quadriceps due to shortened/hypertonic hamstrings

191
Q

What is the physiologic basis for Isokinetic Strengthening?

A

Where asymmetry of range of motion exists, there is also the potential for asymmetry in muscle strength

Further restoration of strength can be accomplished through the use of an Isokinetic contraction (length change occurs at a constant velocity)

Typically, concentric contractions are used, where the muscle is permitted to shortened, but at a controlled slow rate

192
Q

What is the goal of Joint Mobilization using Muscle Force?

A

Restoration of joint motion in an articular dysfunction

Example of diagnosis: Anteriorly rotated pelvis

193
Q

What is the physiologic basis of Joint Mobilization using Muscle Force?

A

Hypertonicity of musculature across a joint can cause distortion of articular relationships and motion loss

This increase in muscle tone tends to compress the joint surfaces, and results in thinning of the intervening layer of synovial fluid and adherence of the joint surfaces

Restoration of motion to the articular results in a gapping, or reseating, of the distorted joint relations with reflex relaxation of the previously hypertonic musculature

194
Q

What is the force of contraction of Joint Mobilization using Muscle Force?

A

Maximal muscle contraction that can be comfortably resisted by physician (up to 30-50 lb of pressure depending on the joint treated)

195
Q

What is the goal of Using Muscle Force to Move one Region of the Body to Achieve Movement of Another Bone or Region?

A

Treat somatic dysfunction

Example diagnosis: Inferior clavicle

196
Q

What is the physiologic barrier of Using Muscle Force to Move one Region of the Body to Achieve Movement of Another Bone or Region?

A

For some dysfunctions, it is often more effective to move one body structure by moving another body structure adjacent to it.

Muscular force is used to move the first structure and that body part’s response to the muscle force is transmitted to yet another part of the body.

197
Q

What is the force of contraction of Using Muscle Force to Move one Region of the Body to Achieve Movement of Another Bone or Region?

A

Sustained gentle pressure (10-20 lb of pressure)

198

*Versatile to use in combination with other osteopathic manipulative techniques*

199
Q
