Terms Flashcards
What are acute skin changes?
warm, red, moist, inflammed
What are chronic skin changes?
cool, pale
What is the sympathetic activity in acute problems?
local vasodilation
What is the sympathetic activity for chronic conditions?
local vasoconstriction
What is the muscle tone in acute conditions?
increased muscle tone/crontraction
What is the muscle tone in chronic conditions?
limited ROM
What are soft tissue changes for acute conditions?
boggy, edema, acute congestion
What are soft tissue changes for chronic conditions?
thickened, fibrotic, increased resistance to penetration
What are the signs of acute visceral SDs?
Minimal somatovisceral reflex effect
What are the signs of chronic visceral SDs?
Common somatovisceral reflex effects
What are the three cardinal steps in OMM?
Diagnose
Treat
Recheck
What are the three types of motion in OMM?
Active
Passive
Inherent
What is the length of time associated with acute conditions?
0-7 days to 90 days
What is the length of time associated with chronic conditions?
greater than 90 days
What does TART stand for? What is it used for?
Tenderness, asymmetry, restricted ROM, and tissue texture abnormalities.
Aid in diagnosis of SDs.
What is an osteopathic structural exam?
Palpation looking for SDs
What are the components of the gravitational line?
- External auditory meatus
- Lateral aspect of the humerus
- Greater trochanter
- Lateral condyle of the knee
- Slightly anterior to the lateral malleolus
What are the 5 types of motion barriers?
Physiologic Anatomic Elastic Restrictive Pathologic
What is a physiologic barrier?
Limit of AROM
What is an anatomic barrier?
Limit of PROM
What is the elastic barrier?
Different between the physiologic barrier and anatomic barrier
What is a restrictive barrier?
Limit of physiologic barrier (due to pain)
What is a pathological barrier?
Restriction of joint motion due to pathological changes (bone spurs)
