What is a conventional model of medicine
biology chemistry physics/math anatomy physiology pharmacology surgery psychiatry
What is the expanded Integrative model of medicine
biophysicis
consciousness
spirituality
What are the 5 classical osteopathic models
posture motion behavioral neurologic metabolism respiration/circulation
What is the bridge between biology and physics
biophysics
Who related pathology to biophysics
Carl Philip McConnell, DO
What is adaptability
ability to respond to stresses to meet needs of the system`
What are the biophysical characteristics of fascia
adaptability
plasticity
elasticity
viscosity
What is plasticity
ability to be formed or molded
What is elasticity
recoverability after stretching
What is viscosity
rate of deformation under load and capability to yield under stress (TART)
What are the components of the ECM
hyaluronic acid
GAGs
proteoglycans
multi adhesive glycoproteins
What is colloid
non-precipitating suspension found in the ECM
What is sol-gel
colloids with physical property of liquids and solids
absorbs energies in intermolecular bonds
What are the main types of collagen
1 2 3 4 10
Where is collagen 1 found
most CT
Where is collagen 2 found
cartilage
Where is collagen 3 found
reticular fibers
Where is collagen 10 found
bone mineral matrix
What is the goal of my-fasciae release
change the configuration of the cell and balance it so it works better
What are the special properties of fascia
tensegrity
piezoelectric
non-neurological communication
What is tensegrity
an architectural system in which structures stabilize themselves by balancing counteracting forces of compression and tension
What fibers are involved in bio-tensegrity
microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments
What is mechanotransduction
mechanical force acting on a cell, signal transduction into the cell and nucleus, generation of a cellular response
What is intraosseous strain
force stored within a bone
What is piezoelectric phenomenon
mechanical stress is transformed into electrical potentials and electrical potentials are transformed into mechanical motion
How does compression/stretching affect fascial bioelectric properties
production and emanation of electromagnetic fields
How is bioelectricity of fascia measured
living matrix acts as giant liquid crystals that create large coherent vibrations to molecular array oscillations
Describe the actions of the arrays of fascia
arrays can receive energy from or send energy to external environment
arrays allow for rapid intercommunication outside of nervous system
arrays responsible for change of tissue viscosity from sol-gel, vice versa; influenced by EMFs`
How does acupuncture affect charges
places negative charges inside which attracts cells to the site to heal it
What is Wolff’s law
every change in the function of a bone is followed by changes in internal architecture and external conformation in accordance with mathematical laws
Compare compression and tension bone tissue remodeling
compression–electronegative
Tension–electropositive
Mechanical forces change structure and function
What is Hooke’s law
stress applied to stretch or compress a body is proportional to the strain, so long as the limit of elasticity of the body is not exceeded
How does Hooke’s law relate to fascia
body produced ordered reponses to stress in order to maintain homeostasis
collagen is the reactive component of fascia that handles the mechanical and internal stress. Mediator of repair, maintenance, and healing
Define non-neurological communication
electrical communication through the fascia outside of the nervous system
Define somatic dysfunction
Impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system; includes skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial elements and related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements
What is bioenergetics
study of how endogenous and exogenous energy sources/forms influence, and control living systems and their environment
What is bioenergy
energy produced endogenously by living systems
What is the bioenergetics model
address the bioenergetic nature of the human being in health and disease, striving to maintain and/or support the return to homeostasis, homeodynamics through the application of biophysics principles in the biofield.
How can the bioenerergetics model be addressed via osteopath
neurofascial release lymphofascial release dynamic strain-vector release bioelectric fascial activation facilitated oscillatory release osteopathy in the cranial field biodynamics percussor trauma vector-release
What is facilitated positional release
system of OMT that is utilized to normalize hypertonic voluntary muscles
What are the benefits of FPR
non traumatic
easily utilized
highly effective
efficient
When can FPR be used
to normalize hypertonic muscles in any mart of the NMS
What muscles can FPR be used on
large superficial muscles
small deep muscles attached to vertebrae
muscles attaching extremities to the torso
tender points
When should FPR technically not be used
to treat joint somatic dysfunction
How is FPR applied
Muscle fibers must be at rest Body in neutral position Compression applied to shorten muscle Place area into EASE of motion (indirect) Immediate relief from muscle spasm Return body part to neutral Re-assess
What is neutral positioning of the body
a position between flexion and extension to approach neutral position
in the spine you will be flattening the A-P curve
joints in extremities you will be placing them in “loose pack” positions
What is the basic principle of FPR
neutral
compress
ease
What is the theory of FPR
Focus: normalization of hypertonic superficial and deep muscles
What is the outcome of FPR
after treatment there is immediate restoration of normal joint function
What are the muscles of the superficial layer
trapezius
latissimus dorsi
rhomboid minor
rhomboid major
What are the muscles of the intermediate layer
Erector spinal muscles
serrates posterior superior
serrates posterior inferior
What are the muscles of the deep layer
semispinalis thoracis rotatores thoracis lavatories costarum multifidus intertransversarii thoracis
What is the physiologic theory of FPR
sudden decrease in load on muscle spindles
cause the fibers to stop discharging, which stops the excitatory signal being sent to motor neurons controlling the extrafusal muscle fiber
this resets muscle spindle reflex
What are indications for FPR
superficial and deep hypertonic muscles
somatic dysfunction
pain
decreased ROM
What are contraindications for FPR
osteoporosis fracture metastatic cancer to the bones herniated disc open wounds congenital defect not amenable to manipulation vertebrobasilar insufficiency
