What is osteopathic cranial manipulative medicine
System of diagnosis and treatment by an osteopathic practitioner using the primary respiratory mechanism
What is the primary respiratory machismo
Diagnosis and treatment from WIlliam Sutherland
Tell me about William Sutherland
1900 graduate from American SChool of Osteopathy in Kirskville
Developed osteopathy in cranial field when was hit by lightning bolt thought where he related beveled edges of the skull and a thought struck him “beveled, like the Gills of a fish indicating a primary respiratoy mechamis for motility”
Made himself unconscious with a head contraption
What is primary respiratory mechanism
Primary-fundamental-was unconscious when shut his down
Respiratory-PRM has ebb and flow like the breath “breath of life”
Mecahnism-movement of tissue and fluid for a purpose
What are the five components of the primary respiratory mechanism
- Inherent mobility of brain and spinal cord
- Fluctuation of CSF
- mobility of intracranial and intraspinal membranes
- articulatory mobility of cranial bones
- Involuntary mobility of the sacrum between the ilia
Inherent mobility of brain
Glial cells contribute to neovascular coupling and regulate blood flow in brain (structurally and physiologically)
Traube-hering wave-changes in blood flow velocity and is measurable by laser Doppler flowmetery
Cranial rhythmic impulse
The rhythmic impulses on the human skull exhibit an average of 10-14 cycles/minute in normal adults 6-14
Can you see cranial rhythmic impulse
Nope, must be palpated
Rate of cranial rhythmic impulse
10-14
Rhythm
Usually palpated as regular, like the tide of the ocean; known to have some variation
Amplitude cranial rhythmic impulse
Significant Sd may diminish it
Strength cranial rhythmic impulse
Significant SD and vitality of the patient greatly impacts strength
Direction cranial rhythmic impulse
In healthy individuals it is palpated as longitudinal and symmetric, but SD may cause it to be asymmetric
Sutherland fulcrum
Functional name given the straight sinus as the origin of the 3 cikle shaped agents of the falx cerebri and the tentorium cerebellum
Reciprocal tension membrane
The meninges and the cord constitute a link between the cranium and the sacrum
Core link
This refers to its importance in connecting the articular mechanism of the cranium with the sacrum to coordinate action
Fascia is ___ head to toe
Continuous
What are the dural folds
Falx cerebri
Tentorium cerebelli
Falx cerebelli
What do the falx cerebri, tentorium and cerebellum create
Reciprocal tension membrane
- unit of function that attaches to the bones of the vault and base, holding them under constant tension
- allows for change of shape of vault, while maintaining a relatively constant volume
Reciprocal tension membraneanterior/superior pole
Crista Gallo
Reciprocal tension membrane anterior inferior pole
Clinic process of sphenoid
Reciprocal tension membrane lateral pole
Mastoid angles of parietal and petroud ridges of temporal bones
reciprocal tension membrane posterior pole
Internal occipital protuberance and transverse ridges
What are the five components of PRM
- The inherent mobility of brain and spinal cord
- fluctuation of the CSF
- Fascial mobility and continuity significantly impacts PRM
- Articulatory mobility of the cranial bones
- In life voluntary mobility of the sacrum between the ilia
What is the Sutherland fulcrum
Straight sinus at junction of falx and tentoria
-it is a point of function : a point of rest (stillness) around which motion occurs
What is SBS
Sphenobasilar symphysis
Where basisphenoid and the basiocciput join to form a synchondrosis
What is a synchondrosis
Almost immovable joint between bones bound by a layer of cartilage
Flexion SBS
Inhalation-SBS moves superiorly with increased angle inferiorly
SBS rises superiorly as the distance decreases between the inferior angle of the sphenoid and occipital decreases toward the mid position
- basi-occiput and basi-sphenoid move superiorly
- occipital squamous moves inferiorly and posteriorly
- greater wing moves inferiorly and anteriorly
SBS extension
Exhalation
-how die tall face. Elongates
SBS moves inferiorly
Sphenoid and occipital have transverse axes of rotation
Mobility of the sacrum between ilia is __-
Involuntary
The postural mobility of the sacrum between the ilia is __
Voluntary
