|
Demonstration: grab your medial epicondoyle, find ulnar nerve and put pressure on it. Within a few seconds you start to feel numb and tingly in your pinky. What is this a demonstration of?
|
Subclinical compression neuropathy
|
|
|
What are conditions associated with compressive neuropathy?
|
GERD, Torticollis, and Colic
|
|
|
What condition is important in kids b/c myelination is NOT complete?
|
Compressive neuropathy
|
|
|
What bridges between structure and function?
|
Anatomic Lens Concept.
|
|
|
What vertebral segment interacts with the lungs?
|
T2-T4
|
|
|
With a T2-T4 problem in the lungs, where do you want sympathetic activation so when you get sick you are able to respond to disease better?
|
0% sympathetic activation. This is where you are at an improved ability to respond to disease.
|
|
|
What are 2 ways to harm someone with OMT?
|
Missed or delayed diagnosis.
|

|
What nerve provides a big piece of autonomics to the viscera?
|
Vagus nerve
|
|
|
What foramen and contents should special attention be given?
|
Jugular foramen
|
|
|
What is the k (kappa value)?
|
Inter-rater reliability. Anything above 60-70% is pretty good.
|
|
|
All of these refer to criteria used for what?
-Taut band palpable -Exquisit spot tenderness of a nodule in a taut band -Patients recognition of current pain complaint by pressure on the tender nodule -Painful limit to full stretch range of motion |
Criteria defined using kappa values
|
|
|
What is the confirmatory observation for the k (kappa) value?
|
Pain or altered sensation in the distribution of the nodule.
|
|
|
What was the following procedure used to define?
-took hypertonic saline and injected it into specific muscle bellies and had people map out where they had pain. |
Trigger points
|
|
|
What is the pain reference zone?
|
Trigger point of the muscle belly-->feeds back into spinal cord to provide further credibility of our view of the autonomic lens.
|
|
|
What vitamin has the following characteristics:
-helps with collagen -deficiency can lead to scurvy and collagen breakdown -if excercise a lot and get a severe amt of post excercise pain the next day you may have a deficiency of this vitamin -Muscle needs this vitamin to repair itself |
Vitamin C
|
|
|
All of these are what?
-vitamins -not enough oxygen, anaerobic metabolism -inability to relax, local bld supply constricts, lead to lactic acid build up |
Precipitating factors that will cause trigger points
|
|
|
To avoid lactic acid build up, do an inability of the muscle to relax which causes local bld supply to constrict, what must be done?
|
You must provide adequate stretching in order to prevent this.
|
|
|
What is a specific treatment for trigger points?
|
Spray and Stretch
|
|
|
What tx procedure does the following refer to?
-Takes advantage of the spinal cord loop. You spray a part of the skin with a cold spary that is innervated by the same micro computer. The cold spray just quickly numbs the skin and nerve endings and should not affect the muscle. When there is disruption you stretch the muscle. |
