os final Flashcards
What was the major OMT technique taught prior to the 1970s?
HVLA
HLVA employs a ___, therapeutic force of brief duration that travels a ____ within the anatomic range of a joint and that engages the restrictive barrier to elicit release of restriction
rapid, short distance
HVLA employs a rapid, therapeutic force of brief duration that travels a short distance within the ____ of a joint and that engages the _____ to elicit release of restriction
anatomic range, restrictive barrier
physiologic barrier - end ROM achieved during ____ motion in the absence of SD
active
anatomic barrier - end ROM achieved during ___ motion in the absence of SD
passive
restrictive barrier is a functional limit that abnormally diminishes the normal ____ range
physiologic
When is cervical HVLA contraindicated?
if the vertebral artery is occluded by thrombosis/compromised
What three planes of motion is range of motion measured in?
mid-sagittal, coronal and transverse
quality refers to?
a palpatory sense of how smoothly a joint can be moved through its ROM
end feel refers to
a quality of motion of a joint when it is brought passively to its final barrier of motion
What is a firm and distinct end feel?
mechanical type arthroidal dysfunction
When is HVLA particularly effective (regarding measuring ROM)?
when there is a distinctive barrier with a firm end feel
What is the neurophysiology of HVLA? 5 steps
- thrust through the restrictive barrier
- restoration of motion at articulation
- restoration of normal proprioceptive input
- reflex relaxation of muscles
- improvement of TART findings
True or false: joint noise is necessary for successful treatment
false
True or false: osteopathic physicians adjust/put segments back into place
false
