Test 3 Flashcards
The exact definition of OMM research from the AOA Bureau of Research is, “Investigator has to state relevance of proposed project to Osteopathic philosophy and principles, theories, mechanisms, or practice”
Name the 6 OMM things that classify under this definition
Institutional, Autonomic and Immune function, Spinal cord facilitation, OMT efficacy, Whole patient care, All research at a COM?
Name the person
1) Induced spinal lesions in animals and then noted the effects on their various organ systems
2) Helped to document the existence of somatic dysfunction (osteopathic lesion) by documenting and quantifying muscle, muscle reflex, and autonomic changes in the areas of SD
3) Performed studies using galvanic skin resistance and correlate that with plapatory findings of somatic dysfunction
4) Performed reliability studies, validity studies, and viscerosomatic reflex studies
1) Louisa Burns
2) J. Stedman Denslow
3) Irvin M. Korr
4) William L. Johnston
Working with Louisa Burns, Dr. ___ validated the research that they performed (internal validation)
Wilbur Cole
J.S. Denslow utilized ___ and ___ correlations to document spinal muscle reflex changes in areas of osteopathic lesions (SDs)
** Called “reflex activity in the Spinal Extensors”
He also was a pioneer in ____ proponent
EMG and palpation
standard terminology
Dr. I.M. Korr worked with ___ and is credited for discovering the ___ flow and ___ function of nerves
He also termed the name ____ and he believed that all disease processes have a heightened sympathetic tone to the neurological system effecting an organ
- This is why we care so much about sympathetic stuff
- He also mapped out the levels of what organs have sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation
Denslow, Axoplasmic, trophic
sympatheticotonia
Who brought modern peer reviewed research into the scientific literature from the osteopathic perspective?
Dr. Korr
The second great philosopher of OM is who?
Korr
What happened in 1918 and did DO or MD treatment save more lives?
What happened in 1932?
In 1999, what dysfunction was looked at in the published NEJM article? Which group had a better outcome? Also, __% of patients were satisfied with the care they received in both groups
Spanish influenza Epidemic, DO
Unit II L.A. County Osteopathic Hospital (DOs were in unit 2 and MDs were in unit 1)
Lower back pain, neither group had a better overall outcome (all patients got better, however DOs used lesses medication and PT), 90%
One study on pancreatitis used ___ to treat half of the patients in the study and this lead to a decreased length of stay, decreased __ use, and increased patient satisfaction
general joint mobilization, analgesic (pain killers)
Another study on __ showed OMT groups had decreased edema, pain, and increased ROM
ankle sprain
A study with elderly pneumonia care was conducted and there was an experimental group that used OMT and there was a control group that used light touch (but this was just a sham to make them think OMT was being performed) and the first study showed OMT has a __ amount of antibiotics prescribed and __ length of stay; however, this test was repeated and the results __ (did or did not) hold up
decreased, decreased, did not
A study on children 6months to 6 years old with otitis media (middle ear infection) showed that OMT group has ___ episodes of AOM, less procedures, and an __ frequency of normal tympanograms
** This was actually done by an MD
decreased, increased
One old study on the ___ was redone and re-analyzed. The first study in 1934 looked at immunological cell counts and found with splenic pump, that ___
The most current study looked at cell __ to identify immune activation from ___ pump and results held up
Splenic pump, increased
labeling, abdominal
There are __ cervical vertebra, and which ones are atypical
7, C1(atlas) and C2(axis)
The atlas has no ___ and rotates around the __ of C2
The vertebral body of C2 extends superiorly to form the __
vertebral body, dens
dens (also called the odontoid process)
The typical cervical vertebra start from the articulation between C__ and C__ and continues to C__
facets are in a plane that point towards the __ in the upper segments and towards the __ in the lower segments
C2-C3, C7
eye, opposite shoulder (or opposite ASIS)
What are the 4 C spine lateral view lines?
Anterior vertebral line, posterior vertebral line, spinolaminar line, posterior spinous line
A good view to look at facets and vertebral foramen is the C spine __ view
oblique
Cerivcal spine flexion and extension is __ - __ degrees
Side bending is __ degrees
Rotation is __ degrees
** For all of these, you want to use __ motion first, and then you can use __ motion
45-90
45
70-90
active (they do it), passive (you do it)
What type of SD is the OA joint and what are its major motions?
When diagnosing the OA joint, you should contact the __ aspect of the occiput with your __ fingers and the __ aspect with the __ finger (about at the transverse process of C1)
**^ The competency states for lateral translation, contact head with tips of 2nd and 3rd fingers of the __ and for rotational test, contact head with tips of fingers on the __
By lifting anteriorly on the left side, you asses ___ and vice versa
By translating to the left you asses __
Modified type 1 (so flexion and extension component but rotation and side bending are opposite), Flexion and extension **(Minor motions are SB and rotation)
posterior, middle, lateral, index
Occipital articulation, occipital ridge
Right rotation
Right side bending
If you have a restriction to translation to the right, what is SB and Rotation?
If you have a restriction when you lift anteriorly on the right, you have a restriction to __ rotation aka the rotation is preferred to the right, so then what is SB and rotation
Sr and Rl
left Sl Rr
The __ joint is between C1 and C2 and it’s primary motion is ___ via the __ rotating about the __
** It is an atypical cervical vertebra
** Flexion, extension, and side bending are NOT tested at this segment
AA (atlantoaxial joint), rotation, atlas, dens
The proper position for testing the AA joint is to cup to __ and place fingers on the AA joint
** The competency says to contact the __ of the __, bilaterally
It is important to __ the C-spine to lock out rotation of C2-C7 in order to isolate the rotation to the atlas
occiput
lateral masses, atlas
flex
Unlike the OA joint, when you rotate to the right, you are rotating right.
So in other words, lets say you rotate the head and neck to the right and feel a restriction. How would you document this in the soap note?
