Behavioral
Briefly describe the neurologic model of goal of Tx of somatic dysfunction
Influence viscero-somatic relationships
Briefly describe the goals of treatment of somatic dysfunction in the behavioral model
Relieve pain
Osteopathic treatment is not aimed at “turning the system up or down,” but:
But at removing the dysfunctions to allow the body to restore a more appropriate autonomic balance
T/F: You can only have too much parasympathetic overriding sympathetic drive and vice versa
False, can have too much Parasympathetic and Sympathetic drive in both systems at the same time
Related to the __________ model, what is sensitization
Somatic dysfunction increases the excitability the involved neurons, meaning less of an impulse is needed to cause the action of the nerve to happen
In simplest terms what is spinal facilitation
- Nerve is always firing even when body is at rest
- In this state there is less afferent stimulation needed to discharge impluses
Define: Somatosomatic reflex
Localized somatic stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related somatic structures
Define somatovisceral reflex
Localized somatic stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related visceral structures
Define: viscerosomatic reflex

- Motor response, i.e. triggered and maintained visceral activity
Describe the goal metabolic energetic model to treat somatic dysfunction
Decrease energy output or expenditure
- Enhance the self-regulatory and self-healing mechanisms to foster energy conservation and enhance function
What is the thoraco-abdominopelvic cylinder?

Why is pulmonary wedge pressure not used in mitral stenosis?
- PCWP is a good approximation of L atrial pressure
- Not a good index in mitral stenosis because of pressure changes upstream and decrease downstream
If preload is increased above physiologic limit, what happens
The stroke volume begins to increase
- As preload is increased, the CO is increased until ventricle is too stretched to perform optimal contraction
Frank-Starling Law of the heart compares:
- Compares the stroke volume to ventricular volume at the end of diastole
- Amount of stretch is equal to volume ejected from ventricles within physiologic limits
- Stroke volume and cardiac output correlate directly with end diastolic volume with correlates with venous return
