Question 1

Parkinson’s Biomechanical OMT

Answer 1

• GOALS: increase joint motion/function, normalize muscle tone, pain relief
• ME active: ROM, decrease muscle spasm, improve hypkinesia
• ROM techniques: prevent contractual, joint restriction, fibrous adhesion
• BLT: normalizing joint mech, resetting proprioceptors
• counterstrain: decrease pain at tenderpoint
• MFR: decrease myofscial restriction
• FPR: decrease muscle spasm

Question 2

Parkinson’s Neurologic OMT

Answer 2

• GOALS: optimize neural function, improve autonomic balance, restore regulatory function
• cranium: OM suture: normalize vagal tone
• suboccipital, upper cervical regions: cervical MFR, -suboccipital release: normalize vagal tone
• sacro-iliac joint and sacrum: sacral rock, BTL: normalize parasympatheytic tone
• RIb raising: decreased impingement of sympathetic chain ganglia
• inhibition of abdominal ganglia: normalize sympathetic to the organs of abd and pelvic regions

Question 3

Parkinson’s Respiratory-circulatory OMT

Answer 3

GOALS: improve thoracic cage compliance, optimize movement of lymphatics and CV circulation

• MFR
• thoracic outlet release
• pectoral traction
• diaphragm doming
• rib raising
• pelvic diaphragm release
• lymphatic pumps
• wobble technique

Question 4

Parkinson’s Bio-energy OMT

Answer 4

-GOALS: fatigue, restore balance

Question 5

Parkinson’s Psycho-behavioral considerations OMT

Answer 5

• GOAL: disability and depression

- affecting perception of pain, coping mech, and decrease disability

Question 6

Dizziiness and Vertigo Biomechanical OMT

Answer 6

dysfunction of temporal bones

SD in neck & extremities

Question 7

headache bilateral, pressure or tightness/waxing & waning, variable duration, no associated symptoms

Answer 7

tension headache

Question 8

headache unilateral (majority), gradual onset, pulsating, moderate-severe intensity, 4-72 hours, associated symptoms of nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia

Answer 8

migraine
