Q

AT Still rope swing story

A

In Still’s autobiography, he describes a story when he was around 10 years old where he made a rope swing between 2 trees, but since he had a headache that day decided to lower the ropes and rest his head on the seat. He fell asleep and woke up to find his headache was gone. He continued to make a rope swing and lay his head on it when he got a headache. The rope swing story illustrates how Still was keenly aware even at a young age that structure and function are related.

Q

Health

A

Adaptive and optimal attainment of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is based on our natural capacity to meet, with adequate reserves, the usual stresses of daily life and the occasional severe stresses imposed by extremes of our environment and activity.

It includes our ability to resist and combat noxious influences in our environment and to compensate for their effects. One’s health at any given time depends on many factors including his or her polygenetic inheritance, environmental influences, and adaptive response to stressors.

A

Educational Council of Osteopathic Principles

34
Q

ECOP does what?

A
  1. Discusses and recommends standard curricula among all osteopathic medical schools
  2. Includes recommendations regarding standard techniques
  3. This material is relevant for your board exams
35
Q

OMT and glossaryd efinition

A

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. From glossary of osteopathic terminology: “Therapeutic application of manually guided forces by an osteopathic physician to improve physiologic function and or support homeostasis that has been altered by somatic dysfunction.”

36
Q

OMT is

A

-Manual treatment to the patient to improve their anatomical structure or physiological function
-Treats structural, anatomic, visceral components of the body

37
Q

What is fascia?

A

Connective tissue that covers all of the structures in the body and helps provide a support structure and framework for the body and includes four types

38
Q

Four types of fascia

A
  1. Superficial (under the skin)
  2. Deep investing (around your carotid artery/muscle)
  3. Meningeal (in your brain)
  4. Visceral (around your organs)
39
Q

A good example of how treating fascia can affect multiple organs is in the mesentery.

A

When treating the abdomen with OMT, you are affecting the mesentery which includes
multiple arteries, veins, nerves, and lymphatics all in a piece of connective tissue.
Removing structural impediment will allow for improve digestion, elimination, and immune function.

40
Q

Somatic Dysfunction Definition

A

Impaired function of the body framework: skeletal, arthrodial, myofascial, vascular, lymphatic, and neural components.”

41
Q

Somatic dysfunction is characterized by

A

TART
1. Tissue texture change
2. Asymmetry
3. Range of motion
4. Tenderness

Presence of 1/4 necessary to diagnose somatic dysfunction

42
Q

Assessing tissue texture change

A

Acute tissue texture changes = impaired function in early stages characterized by redness, pain, warmth, moisture, bogginess, vasodilation, edema, tenderness, tissue contraction

43
Q

Chronic tissue change

A

Impaired function of long standing duration characterized by itching, paresthesia, dryness, coolness, tissue contracture, fibrosis, tenderness, palor

44
Q

Assess asymmetry

A
  1. Are these structures aligned?
  2. If bilateral structure, are they equal?
45
Q

Assess restriction of motion

A

-Determine direction of freer movement vs. direction of motion restriction
-Active and passive ROM

46
Q

Active range of motion

A

patient moves their body

47
Q

Passive range of motion

A

physician moves patient’s body

48
Q

Two other ways to find somatic dysfunction/TART findings

A
  1. Gait analysis
  2. Tenderness of the structure
49
Q

Motion barrier

A

Limit of motion

50
Q

Anatomic barrier

A

limit of motion from anatomy (limit of passive motion, ex: physician moving patient’s body for them)

51
Q

Pathologic barrier

A

restriction of motion due to pathology (disease: osteophytes limiting motion)

52
Q

Physiologic barrier

A

Limit of active motion (patient moving body)

53
Q

Restrictive barrier

A

functional limit that abnormally reduces normal physiologic range

54
Q

OMT Modalities (4)

A
  1. Active Method
  2. Passive Method
  3. Direct Technique
  4. Indirect Technique
55
Q

Active Method

A

patient performs voluntary physician directed motion

56
Q

Passive Method

A

patient does not engage voluntary muscle contraction

57
Q

Direct technique

A

restrictive barrier is engaged and a force is applied to correct somatic dysfunction

58
Q

Indirect technique

A

restrictive barrier is disengaged and the dysfunctional body part moved away from barrier

59
Q

Soft Tissue Technique: direct or indirect? Patient is?

A

-Direct
-Patient Passive

60
Q

Soft tissue: Separates…? Monitor?

A

Separates muscle origin and insertion. Monitor tissue response

61
Q

Soft tissue direct technique uses

A

-Linear stretching
-Deep pressure
-Traction

62
Q

Myofascial release (MFR): direct or indirect? Patient is? First described by?

A

-Direct OR indirect
-Patient passive
-First described by AT Still

63
Q

In MFR, tissues are?

A

Loaded, then taken to or away from the barrier.

64
Q

MFR uses

A

Continuous palpatory feedback to treat somatic dysfunction, fascia, musculature

65
Q

Muscle Energy (ME) is direct or indirect? Patient is?

A

Direct, patient is ACTIVE

66
Q

ME uses multiple types of?

A

Muscle energy, ex: post isometric, reciprocal inhibition

67
Q

ME Basic treatment steps (4)

A
  1. Patient is positioned by physician at the feather edge of the restrictive barrier
  2. Physician directs the patient to contract muscle for 3-5 seconds while physician provides counterforce
