Y2M1 Flashcards
What are we required to learn osteopathy, particularly with respect to the principles set forth by Dr. Still?
A lifetime of self-examination and reflection
_____ is our language.
Mechanics
We must always remain ______, _____ and ______ in our approach to Osteopathy.
Critical, logical and practical
We use _____________ as part of our diagnostic tool kit to either verify or deny the theories of the past.
current scientific knowledge
What does “serve the lesion” mean?
To follow it as dictated by palpation, correction and reassessment
The Body Adjustment was created by:
a. A.T. Still
b. John Martin Littlejon
c. John Wernham
c. John Wernham
The ______ serves the macrocosm.
Microcosm
T/F
The concept of homeostasis applies equally to cells, tissues, and systems as these structures are all part of a greater whole.
True
T/F
We have potential to effect massive physiological change even through minor structural adjustments.
True
Match the type of barrier to its definition
- Anatomical
- Physiological
- Restrictive
a. based on soft tissues that aid and protect joints from injury
b. limited capacity of a joint to move before injury results
c. repetitive strain, injury, illness; affect range of articulation at any level of tissue
- b
- a
- c
_________ is a dialogical exchange of information between the practitioner and the
patient; cannot be possible if operators attempt to impose their knowledge and/or will
on the patient.
a. treatment
b. assessment
c. reassessment
d. barrier
a. treatment
_____ is the result of the communication between systems in the body
a. treatment
b. lesion
c. barrier
c. barrier
If the passageway from one point in the body to the next is faulty, lesioning will result,
expressing itself as a _________.
Barrier
It’s the ___________ which we seek to communicate in order to restore
the healing properties of the body.
a. structure itself
b. NAVL
c. space between the structures
c. space between the structures
” * Focus on barrier to see what happens between structures, not on them.”
______ is a distortion of space between the shapes that then alters the function of those surfaces.
a. barrier
b. lesion
c. treatment
d. body adjustment
b. lesion
When we palpate bind, we ask all of the following EXCEPT
a. how it got there
b. how long has it been there
c. the nature of its qualities
d. how can Osteopathy change it
d. how can Osteopathy change it
Full lesioned means:
a. one area of the body has many lesions
b. there is a large lesion pattern
c. the neurology is fully engaged on both somatic and organic side
c. the neurology is fully engaged on both somatic and organic side
T/F
The purpose of treatment is to bring back stability, coordination & integration of the
body which enables the self-healing and self-regulating mechanics that already exist internally.
True
T/F
Extrafusal muscle fibers are innervated by gamma nerve fibers.
False.
Intrafusal muscle fibers are innervated by gamma nerve fibers
Gamme gain of muscle tells us about the amount of (a or b) in a muscle mass.
a. slack
b. tension
tension
If the set of gamma gain is inconsistent with the expected movement, too much input may arrive at the CNS, causing ______.
spasm
T/F
Turning up gamma gain makes the muscle more sensitive to stretch.
True
Increased gamma gain can lead to all of the following EXCEPT:
a. pain sensations to the cord
b. muscle spasm & pain stimuli
c. inflammatory response
d. lymph & venous congestion
e. fibrosis and muscle contracture
f. aortic spasm
f. aortic spasm
T/F
During indirect treatment, CNS reduces gamma gain to the intrafusal muscle fibers so that the main muscle mass (extrafusal fibers) relaxes.
True
The origin and insertion are kept in constant position and the patient’s contraction is equally resisted by the operator.
a. Isometric contraction
b. PIR
c. RI
d. a & b
d. a & b
If patient is uncooperative, unable, unwilling to assist or follow instructions are all contraindications for what treatment?
PIR
The _____ side of the brain understands the treatment manual, while the ______ side senses tissue changes through palpation.
Left, right
__________ set the tension of intrafusal muscle fibers in the spindles.
Gamma nerve fibers
T/F
Gamma gain can tell if the muscle is overly stretched or overly contracted.
False.
Can tell the amount of tension in a muscle mass by comparing length of extrafusal muscle fibers in relation to length of the preset intrafusal muscle fibers in the spindle.
T/F
Turning up gamma gain makes the muscle more sensitive to stretch.
True
