omm Flashcards
TART stands for
Tissue text changes, asymmetry, restriction, tenderness
Physiologic barrier
The end point of active range of motion (the point to where the patient can move themselves)
Acute TART changes
Edematous, erythematous, boggy, hypertonic, symmetric, painful restriction, severe/sharp pain
Chronic TART changes
No edema or erythema, cool skin Decreased muscle tone, flaccid, ropy, fibrotic Asymmetry with compensation Non-painful restricted range of motion Dull, achy, burning pain
Freyettes
For TL spine:
N SxRy (typically grouped)
E/F SxRx (typically single)
Somatic dysfunctions are named for their freedom of motion
Just a reminder :)
Facet orientation
BUM BUL BM
Scalenes
Originate from posterior tubercle of transverse process and insert on rib 1 (ant and middle) and rib 2 (posterior)
SB neck to same side (unilateral contraction)
Flex neck (bilateral contraction)
Elevate the rib during inhalation
SCM
Unilateral contraction: SB toward, R away
Bilateral contraction: flexion
Alar and transverse ligaments
Weak in RA and Downs -> atlantoaxial subluxation
C-spine nerve roots
Exit above corresponding vertebrae
OA
Primary motion: F/E (SB occurs opposite)
AA
Primary motion: rotation (this is its ONLY motion)
Motion of C2-C7
SxRx regardless of F/E
Cervical stenosis
Increased pain with extension, + Spurlings
