Written Exam 1 Flashcards
What is the OMM perspective for analyzing patient problems?
Biomechanics Fluid flow Nervous system (including autonomics)
What are the five models of osteopathic care?
Biomechanical, Behavioral, Neurological, Metabolic and Respiratory-Circulatory
What is the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory-circulatory model?
Anatomy: Thoracic inlet, thoracic diaphragm, pelvic diaphragms, tenotium cerebelli, costal cage
Physiology: Ventilation, circulation, venous and lymph drainage
What is the goal in the respiratory-circulatory model?
To improve all of the diaphragm restrictions in the body
What is the anatomy and physiology in the metabolic model?
Anatomy: Internal organs, endocrine glands
Physiology: Metabolic processes, homeostasis, digestion, immune, reproduction, waste removal, energy regulatory processes
What is the goal in the metabolic model?
Enhance self-regulatory and self-healing, foster energy conservation, enhance immune system, endocrine and organ functions
What is the anatomy and physiology in the neurologic model?
Anatomy: Head, CNS, ANS, PNS
Physiology: Control, coordination, integration of body functions, protective mechanisms, sensation
What is the goal in the neurologic model?
Attain autonomic balance and address neural reflex activity, remove facilitated segments, decrease afferent nerve signals, address entrapment neuropathy and relieve pain
What is the anatomy and physiology of the behavioral model?
Anatomy: Brain and neuroendocrine system
Physiology: Physiological and social activities, stress, anxiety, work, family, social habits, values, attitudes and beliefs
What is the goal in the behavioral model?
Improve the biological, psychological and social components of the health spectrum
What are the 6 systems that somatic dysfunction can occur?
SAMVLAN: Skeletal, Arthrodial, Myofascial elements, Vascular, Lymphatic and, Neural elements
What are the 8 rules of anatomy?
Proximity, Function, Supply, Drainage, Pain, Connectedness, Difference, Order
What is a trigger point?
A localized contraction of a small number of muscle fibers within a larger muscle or muscle bundle
What is a viscero-somatic reflex?
Irritated organ causes change in tissue texture, or causes pain in somatic body
What is somato-viscero reflex?
Irritated somatic tissue can disrupt autonomic input to organ
What is referred pain?
Spinal cord receives afferent information from overlapping somatic and visceral fibers; pain is felt in another part of the body than the actual source
What does TART stand for?
Tenderness
Asymmetry
Restricted motion
Tissue texture changes
What is tensegrity?
The balance between stability and strength
What is a somatic dysfunction?
Impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic system
What are acute and chronic symptoms of tenderness?
Acute: Severe, sharp
Chronic: Dull, achy, or burning
What are acute and chronic symptoms of asymmetry?
Acute: presents w/o compensatory changes
Chronic: Presents with compensation found in adjacent structures
What are the acute and chronic symptoms of restriction?
Acute: Present, movement painful
Chronic: Present, but decreased or no pain
