OSI Flashcards
what are the 3 basic body types?
endomorph, ectomorph, mesomorph
what are the 3 basic body types?
endomorph, ectomorph, mesomorph
person whose body habitus is comprised of tissues predominantly endoderm (obese, fatty)
endomorph
person whose body habitus is comprised of tissues predominantly from endoderm (tall, lanky)
ectomorph
color can be an important indicator in clinical observation. what are some colors to watch out for in patients and what might they mean?
pale- bad red- erythema, inflammation yellow- jaundice (liver disease) blue- cyanosis black- necrosis
what is the proper order for assessing structural diagnosis? (always do structural exam in context of total H&P)
observe, auscultate, percuss, palpate
what factors create asymmetry?
bone or joint deformity, kyphoscoliosis, dress, occupation, mental attitude, habit, lower extremity defects, somatic dysfunction
which of the following is likely to cause postural asymmetry?
a. belt
b. eye color
c. organ transplant
d. anatomical short leg
e. type of muscle tissue
d. anatomical short leg

what are some landmarks we use to assess symmetry of the patients anterior side?
eye level nose angle to midline ear lobe level shoulder height clavicle alignment fingertip level breast crest of ilium angle of patella medial or lateral malleolus
what are some landmarks we use to assess symmetry of the patients posterior side?
shoulder level inferior angle of scapula fingertip level iliac crest height gluteal line popliteal space medial and lateral malleolus
What is TART?
Tissue texture changes
asymmetry
restriction of motion
tenderness
what is active ROM?
patient demonstrates the activity (less than passive)
what is passive ROM?
patient is not active, examiner takes the relaxed limb through ROM (no muscles only ligaments stop motion)
what is an anatomic barrier?
limit of motion imposed by anatomic structure (just beyond passive ROM)
what is an elastic barrier?
range between physiologic and anatomic barrier of motion in which passive ligamentous stretching occurs before tissue disruption (between active and passive)
what is a restrictive barrier?
functional limit within anatomic ROM which abnormally diminishes normal range of motion
what is the term we use to describe impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic system: skeletal, arthrodial, myofascial structures and related vascular lymphatic and neural elements
somatic dysfunction
what is OMT
osteopathic manipulative treatment: therapeutic application of manual forces used to improve physiologic function and support homeostasis
term describing the normal feel of muscle in the relaxed state?
tone
(hypertonicity when spastic paralysis)
(hypotonicity when flaccid paralysis)
term describing abnormal shortening of muscle due to fibrosis often resulting from a chronic condition
contracture
what is abnormal contraction of muscle maintained by physiologic need? (hint it often is accompanied by pain and restriction of motion)
spasm (hypertonicity)
state of muscle with increased fluid in hypertonic muscle (like a wet sponge)
bogginess
state of muscle with hard, firm, rope like tone usually indicating a chronic condition
ropiness
what are qualities of vascular textures that indicate acute dysfunction? chronic?
actue: inflamed, peptide release VASODILATION
chronic: sympathetic tone increases VASOCONSTRICTION
what is end feel?
palpatory experience or quality of motion when a joint is moved to its limit or barrier is approached
what are the 4 types of abnormal end feels and an example of each
early muscle spasm- protective after injury
late muscle spasm- chronic
hard capsular- frozen shoulder
soft capsular-synovitis (knee swells after injury)
what is the term for: discomfort or pain elicited by physician through palpation (unusual sensitivity to touch or pressure)
tenderness
what are acute TART affects?
Texture: red, swollen, boggy, increased tone
asymmetry: present
restriction: present and painful with motion
tenderness: sharp pain
What are chronic TART effects?
Texture: dry, cool, ropy, pale, decrease tone
asymmetry: present, compensation occurs
restriction: present (maybe not guarded)
tenderness: dull, achy pain or paresthesias
What are chronic TART effects?
Texture: dry, cool, ropy, pale, decrease tone
asymmetry: present, compensation occurs
restriction: present (maybe not guarded)
tenderness: dull, achy pain or paresthesias
how do we name somatic dysfunction
“where they like to live”
position of ease
if it freely rotates left and is restricted right we name it: rotated left
to decrease the angle between bones of a joint
flexion
what is fryettes principle (#1)
Type 1 mechanics become Type 1 dysfunction!
FP#1. when thoracic and lumbar spine are in neutral position (no flexion or extension), the coupled motion of side bending and rotation occur in opposite directions for each group of vertebrae (to ration occurs toward convexity)
Remember by TONGO (Type One Neutral Group goes Opposite for rotation and side bending )
