Module 2

Question 1

Who wrote the first book of Osteopathy “Osteopathy: The New Science of Healing (1896)”

Answer 1

Elmer De Vergne Barber

Question 2

Elmer De Vergne Barber Wrote what?

Answer 2

First book of Osteopathy “Osteopathy: The New Science of Healing (1896)”

Question 3

Riggs 1901 (Osteopathic Centers) What were the goals/ trends in explaining the Osteopathic goals during this time?

Answer 3

Science of Healing –> definite and fixed relation between an organ and the CNS.

Roughly a longitudinal arrangement of splanchnic contribution

Question 4

Why was Edyth Ashmore important?

Answer 4

Talked about Osteopathic Mechanics , and correction of lesions (First kinda talking about this)

Question 5

What did Edyth Ashmore say about a lesion?

Answer 5

lesion is a lack of motion and is what causes injury to the tissues; what causes chronic wear and tear on the tissues is a lesion/ lesion pattern.

The inefficiencies that result from compensation; where down the chain is this being impacted.

Question 6

Why does a The secondary lesion exists ?

Answer 6

To restore balance of the primary lesion (Counterbalance)

Question 7

What are the 2 things that assist in the Diagnosis of the 2nd ary lesion?

Answer 7

Appearance when at rest of a lesion to the opposite side

Presence of unrestricted motion in the joint when it is palpated.

Question 8

In Robert Lovett: “Lateral curvature of the spine and Round shoulders” 1907 said what about the number of movements in the spine?

Answer 8

The movements of the spine are 3 in number:
1) Flexion
2) Extension
3) Compound movement (Side bending-rotation)

Question 9

Robert Lovett said what about 4 movements?

Answer 9

The ideas the 4 movements (Flexion, extension, rotation, and side bending) is incorrect

Neither side bending or rotation exist in a pure form
(Side bending and rotation occur to the same side)

Question 10

According to Robert Lovett FULL flexion does what?

Answer 10

we get a contralateral side bend / rotation.

Question 11

Edyth Ashmore described a lesion how? and Why?

Answer 11

The lesion is named for the restriction of motion (NOT THE PREFERENCE) —> Because she likes Direct treatment

Question 12

Fryette Presented his findings in 1918, and not until what did he get recognized?

Answer 12

C.R Nelson –> When motion is introduced in one plane it will modify (Reduce) motion in the other two (1948)

Question 13

What were earlier osteo’s looking for?

Answer 13

Centers

Question 14

What was the basis behind Fielder’s Law?

Answer 14

Treatment of Sensitive areas will affect disease; Treatments applied to sensitive areas near the spine are more effective than more distant points

Question 15

How did Fielder’s Law become alopathic?

Answer 15

treating by rule and not by reason** It looks at the local and doesn’t look at the distal

Question 16

In Edyth Ashmore’s book, what was something that was missing that Older Osteo’s were looking at ?

Answer 16

The Osteo Centers

Question 17

According to Edyth Ashmore what did the lesion do?

Answer 17

The lesion is causing the injury. Its small but overtime it compounds into something bigger.

Question 18

According to Robert Lovett when do we get a contralateral side bend / rotation

Answer 18

Only in FULL flexion that we get

Question 19

How did Edyth Ashmore Name the lesion?

Answer 19

The restriction of motion (NOT THE PREFERENCE)

Question 20

Why did Edyth Ashmore Name the lesion the way she did?

Answer 20

Direct Treatment, (named it based on the restriction)

Question 21

Why were Fryett and Lovett different in thinking?

Answer 21

Lovett Didn’t acknowledge the different structure/ vertebra shapes and sizes in the spine that we get different mechanics at different areas.

Question 22

How many movements did Lovett think the spine could do compared to Fryett?

Answer 22

Lovett 3 Fryett 4

Question 23

When Fryett began to get acknowledge who helped him?

Answer 23

Nelson

Question 24

What is Nelson’s Law?

Answer 24

When motion is introduced in one plane it will modify (Reduce) motion in the other two

Question 25

It is the lesion that manifests –> to get the The cause and effects.

Answer 25

pathological effects/ compensation

Question 26

Edyth Ashmore Wrote what and when?

Answer 26

(1915) Osteopathic Mechanics

Question 27

Why was Edyth Ashmore important

Answer 27

(1915) Osteopathic Mechanics book first talked about corrections of lesions; and the mechanics
