14. Who the hell was Flexner and what did he have to do with osteopathic medicine?
In 1910, he wrote the report on medical education in the US which resulted in the shutdown of many allopathic and osteopathic schools.

Medical education improved as a consequence

30 osteopathic schools -> 6 (survived using only their own resources)
15. What was the effect of WWI and WWII on osteopathic medicine?
Osteopathic physicians were not allowed to practice in the armed services during several wars. As a result, their practices at home were strengthened as all the allopathic physicians were drafted.
16. In what years did California try to pull the bullshit move?
1961-62

Liscensing of osteopathic physicians in California was halted; MD defrees were granted to DO's in the state and DO's around the country could convert their DO degree into an MD degree for just $65.

How many branches?
As of 2008, there are 25 schools

3 branch campuses

19. What state established the first state supported osteopathic medical school?

When?
Michigan established the first state supported osteopathic medical schools in 1969-1970
20. What is the osteopathic philosophy?
Total body care is not simply a combo of allopathic medicine and manipulation

Treating the patient not the disease

Focus on the neuromusculoskeletal system

This philosophy permeates throughout all aspects of health maintenance and disease prevention
21. What is integrative medicine?

Who founded it?
Integrative medicien embraces the human being as a combo of body, mind, and spirit.

Integrative medicine is the combo of conventional and alternative medicine; a so called best of both worlds.

Founded by Andrew Weil, MD
22. What is preventative medicine?
Preventative medicine is a basic premise of osteopathic medicine. By treating the patient instead of the disease, the osteopathic physician is able to advise the patient to pursue those actions that lead to greater health.

Specifically, it endeavors to avert those acute health crises which require conventional interventions.
23. Compare and contrast conventional and alternative approaches to healthcare.
The conventional medical model approach is to treat the symtoms of a disease or illness after it has progressed (passed the clinical level). Alternative medicine seeks to prevent symptomatic disease in its patients. It stresses the importance of living well so that the person may live pain and symptom free

Hypertension
Stroke recovery
Allergies
Type II diabetes
Muscle sprains/strains
Arthritis
26. What is the difference between gross motion and physiologic motion?
Gross motion: motion that can be observed with your eyes

Physiologic motion: occurs between joints and cannot be seen with your eyes; must be palpated.
27. What are the types of vertebral motion?
1. Flexion

2. Extension

3. Rotation right and left

4. Lateral flexion (side bending)
28. Fryette's principles
In 1918, Fryette presented a paper that described vertebral motions;

included both those that occur normally and those that occur b/c of a problem
29. Fryette principle I
Spine is neutral
Side bending induced
Rotation occurs opposite that of side bending

A normal moment of spine
a) Documentation: r = right
l = left
(b) N = neutral
(c) F = flexed
(d) E = extended
(e) S = side bent
(Example: “T3-8 SrRl” = “Thoracic vertebrae #3-#8, Side bent right, Rotated left”

Chronic; follows type I mechanic
30. Fryette principle II
Extreme flexion or extension

Two vertebral segments; one vertebrae is sidebent and rotated in the same direction while the others are side bent and rotated opposite

Acute; follows type II mechanics
31. Fryette principle III
Initiate motion in any plane and this will modify the movement in other planes of motion
32. Movement of atypical vertebrae
Atlas- specialized in rotation

Occipital- rotates and sidebends opposite

Sacrum- rotates and sidebends opposite
33. Movement of extremities
Involves restriction of minor muscles; either from the joint or muscles or soft tissue

Joints with a single plane of motion are usually restricted b/c of the joint itself.

Joints with multiple planes are restricted because of muscles
34. In what ways do we name somatic dysfunctions?
Named for the direction of freer motion; this is opposite of the direction of restriction
35. Type I motion
a) Group motion
b) Neutral
c) S and R occur together
d) Side bending to the side of concavity
e) Rotation to the convexity
f) Muscle mass prominent on the convexity
g) Maximum rotation at apex
h) Posterior transverse process on convex side
36. Type II motion
a) Single segment motion restriction
b) Involves flexion and extension
c) Rotation and side bending same side
d) Both toward the concavity
e) Posterior component on the side of concavity

*Top, bottom, and apex of spine are areas more likely to present a Type II
37. Define somatic dysfunction:
impaired or altered function of related component of the somatic system: skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures and
related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements.

41. What is knowledge of physiological motion important?
Dx: you need to know about normal motion to evaluate disturbances of motion

Tx: it allows you to be specific while treating restrictions in all planes and axes
42. Summary of palpation and somatic dysfunctions
Acute changes: skin moist, red, puffy, warm
1. Muscle hypertonic, boggy
2. If untreated will develop chronic changes

Chronic changes: skin dry, thin, slick
1. muscle firm, hard, ropy
2. motion stiff, restricted
43. What is the physiologic barrier?
Functional limit

Within the anatomic range

Limited voluntary motion of a joint
44. What is the anatomic barrier?
It is further than the physiologic barrier.

Motion past the anatomical barrier will almost always be trouble.
45. What is the restrictive barrier?
A functional limit within the anatomic range of motion

Abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range

Neutral position changes
46. What are the rule of 3's?
A. Spinous processes are not always at the same level as transverse processes of the same vertebrae, as seen in the thoracic region when the spinous processes are long and point superiorly
47. T1-T3
T 1-3 are at the same level are the same vertebrae’s TP
48. T4-T6
T 4-6 are ½ way between level of same vertebrae’s TP and the TP of the vertebrae below
49. T7-T9
T 7-9 are at the level of the lower vertebrae’s TP
50. T10-T12
T 10-12 gradually return back to same level:
1. T 10 same as T 7-9
2. T 11 same as T 4-6
3. T 12 same as T 1-3
51. What are the exceptions to Fryette's principles?

Single vertebra in the cervical region is neither Type I or Type II!
52. Where are the transitional areas of the spine?
• occipito-atlantal
• C7-T1
• T12-L1
• L5-S1
53. What is the somatic dysfunction etiology?
abnormal neural impulses to muscles causing joint restriction and pain
54. Somatic dysfunction and the nervous system in a nutshell:
The brain is the central processor of information; but the spinal cord is the organizer

Feedback from areas in the spinal cord to the brain helps maintain normal function

Exception: parts of the body may be communicated directly with one another without the intervention from the brain; this explains viscerosomatic dysfunctions
55. ANS
Divided into Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

Controls moment by moment activity of viscera
56. Sympathetic NS
Chain runs bilaterally from T1-L2
Exits with somatic motor axons via intervertebral foramina
Travel with somatic axons for much of their course
Inferior to head and neck of ribs
Posterior to pleura

Regulates circulation, metabolism, smooth muscle tone, intestinal motility, cardiac function, and pulmonary response
57. Parasympathetic NS
Cranial nerves 3, 7, 9, 10 (vagus)
Sacral nerves S2, S3, S4
58. Compare viscerosomatic reflexes with somatiovisceral reflexes
viscerosomatic refers to the musculoskeletal pain inflicted upon the body due to visceral dysfunction. The viscera must be treated to correct the problem

Somatovisceral is somatic dysfunction which disrupts the visceral functions; By making changes in the spinal alignment, changes were observed in the viscera
59. Adjusted max heart rate
Age Adjusted Max Heart rate
220-Age for males
226-Age for females
this is what your max is when we say exercise at 60% of your max
Aerobic requires oxygen
Anaerobic does not require oxygen
Both are important. Need to train both of the systems
60. Concentric and eccentric muscle exercises
Concentric
Making the muscle shorter

Eccentric
The lengthening of muscle. Making them long and strong
61. What happens as you age?
As you age your numbers decrease
You can fight it, but it will happen
