Week 4 (Test 1) Flashcards
Review of Systems
- 14 body Systems
- Sort of like “associated Systems” but question in this section are important for ruling out other important disease processes (other than chief complaint)
- Billing is often based on the detail of the Documentation, so often times a “Full ROS” is dictated (or clicked on the EHR) so that a higher fee might be justified
Associated Systems vs ROS
- Associated symptoms are symptoms that may be RELATED to the CHIEF COMPLAINT
- ROS is about making sure the Clinician isn’t missing something ELSE that might do a Patient Harm
Transition statements
- “I think i understand what brought you in here today, but now id like to ask you some questions about your medical problems in the past”
- “We’ve talked a lot about your medical issues, but now I’d like to get to know you as a person”
Delivering Bad News
- The Warning Shot
- No Euphemisms
- No Timelines
- Non-anxious Presence
- Use Silence Effectively
First thing First
- Confirm the patient’s name and date of birth
Biomechanics Principles
- The study of the structure and function of Biological Systems (living structures) by means of the methods of Mechanics (Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials)
To Understand Human Physical Performance:
1) How do we perform movement and apply force
2) How is human motion controlled and how can it be refined
3) How the internal and external forces act on the human body and the effect produced by these forces
Historical perspective
LEONARDO DA VINCI
- Recognized as the FIRST TRUE BIOCHEMIST
- First to study anatomy in the CONTEXT of Mechanics
- Analyzed muscle forces as acting ALONG LINES connecting Origins and Insertions and studied JOINT FUNCTION
GALILEO GALILEI
- Interested in the STRENGTH of BONES
- Noted that Animals with Large Mass Bones INCREASE IN GIRTH
- Theorized ADAPTED to LOADBEARING
- Suggested that bones are HOLLOW for this AFFORDS MAXIMUM Strength with MINIMUM WEIGHT
Historical Perspective Cont
GIOVANI ALFONSO BORELLI
- Studied Walking, Running, Jumping and even the Piston action of the Heart within a Mechanical Framework
Determined:
- Position of the center of Gravity
- Calculate and measured Inspired and Expired are Volumes
- Showed that Inspiration is Muscle-Driven and Expiration is due to TISSUE ELASTICITY
Historical Perspective Cont.
ANDREW TAYLORS STILL
- Frontied Minister, Doctor, Farmer, and a MILLWRIGHT!!!!!!
- Applied principles of Mechanics to Human Afflictions
- Millwright have a history that spans 800 Years, as the profession is the predecessor of Mechanical Engineering
- A person who maintains and cares for Mechanical Equipment
- This includes such tasks as Leveling, Aligning and installing machinery on foundations or base plates and setting, leveling, and aligning
- Their job requires a thorough knowledge of the LOADBEARING capabilities of the Equipment they use
Biomechanics Principles
- Biomechanics describe the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRUCTURE and FUNCTION
- Basic Principle of OSTEOPATHY
STRUCTURE:
- Three dimensional and respond to Applied Forces, and to Motion, in each Dimension
FUNCTION:
- Different types of structures respond to forces applied to them differently
- There is an Intricate, Interconnected Function relationship between Structures
- Core Element of Kinesiology
- Musculoskeletal system may be though of as a series of Simple Machines
- Machines: used to Increase Mechanical Advantage
- Consider Mechanical aspect of each musculoskeletal component in analysis with respect to that component’s Machine-like function
Machines function in Four Way
1) Balance Multiple Forces
2) Enhance Force in an attempt to Reduce Total Force needed to Overcome a Resistance
3) Enhance range of motion and speed of movement so that resistance may be moved Further or Faster than Applied Force
4) Alter resulting Direction of the Applied Force
3 Types of “machines” in producing Movement
1) LEVERLS (Most Common)
- Torque and Length
2) WHEEL-AXELS
- Function essentially as a form of a level
3) PULLEYS
- Single pulleys function to change effective direction of Force Application
Levers
1) First Class Levers
- Axis in between Force and Resistance
2) Second Class Levers
- Resistance in between Axis and Force
3) This Class Levers
- MOST COMMON
- Force in between Resistance and Axis
Joint Motion
Resultant of:
1) A Muscle Contraction
2) Drawing a DISTAL Segment MORE PROXIMAL
3) aThe DISTAL SEGMENT will ROTATE ABOUT the CENTER OF THE JOINT
Factors in Use of Anatomical Levers
- Anatomical leverage system can be used to gain a Mechanical Advantage
- Improve Simple or Complex Physical Movements
- SOME USE HUMAN LEVERS PROPERLY
- SOME DEVELOP HABITS and IMPROPERLY USE HUMAN LEVERS
