Somatic Dysfunction And Barriers Flashcards
What is the definition of somatic dysfunction
Impairment or altered function of related components of the somatic system
What three parts of the body can be directly affected by SD
Skeletal
Arthrodial
Myofascial structures
Define homeostasis
The level of well-being of an individual maintained by internal physiologic harmony that is the result of a relatively stable state or equilibrium among the interdependent body functions
Define acute SD
Immediate or short-term impairment or altered function of related components of the somatic system
S/S of acute SD
PET TV
Vasodilation Edema Tenderness Pain Tissue contraction
Define chronic SD
Impairment or altered function of related components of the somatic system
S/S of chronic SD
Tenderness Itching Firbosis Paresthesias Tissue contraction
What are the types of TTA
Bogginess Thickening Ropiness Firmness Temp change Moisture change
Define bogginess
A TTA characterized principally by a palpable sense of sponginess in the tissue, interpreted as resulting from congestion due to increased fluid content
Define hypertonicity
Spastic paralysis
Define hypotonicity
Flaccid paralysis or no tone at all
Define contracture
Abnormal shortening of a muscle due to fibrosis
Define ropiness
Hard, firm, rope-like or cord-like muscle tone which usually indicates a chronic condition
Deinf anatomical barrier
The limit of passive motion imposed by an anatomical structure
Define physiological barrier
The limit of active motion
Define elastic barrier
The range between the physiological and anatomic barrier of motion in which passive stretching occurs before tissue disruption
Define tenderpoints
Small, discrete hypersensitive areas within myofascial structures that result in localized pain
Define trigger point
Small, discrete hypersensitive areas within myofascial structures
Palplation causes referred pain away from the site
What is the goal of OMT
To remove SD and restore homeostasis
What are the 5 models of OMT
Postural Structural Neurological Respiratory/Circular Bioenergy Psychosocial
PBR? NP!
What are the direct types of OMT technique
MFR INR ST MET HVLA
What are the combination types of OMT
MFR
Still
Percussor
PINS
What are the indirect types of OMT
MFR
INR
BLT/LAS
FPR
