Opp I_1-1 Intro & Models Of Osteopathic Care

Front 1

1st principal of osteopathic care

Back 1

The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit (A human being is a dynamic unit of function)

Front 2

2nd principal of osteopathic care

Back 2

The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance

Front 3

3rd principal of osteopathic care

Back 3

Structure and function are reciprocally interdependent

Front 4

4th principal of osteopathic care

Back 4

Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function

Front 5

Osteopathic Structural Exam

Back 5

The examination of a patient by an osteopathic physician with emphasis on the neuromusculoskeletal system, including palpatory diagnosis for somatic dysfunction and viscerosomatic change, in the context of total patient care.

Front 6

TART

Back 6

-Tissue texture abnormalities
-Asymmetry
-Restriction of motion
-Tenderness

Front 7

2 absolute contraindications to OMT

Back 7

-The absence of somatic dysfnx
-The patient refuses to have OMT performed

Front 8

Direct techniques

Back 8

restricted tissue is initially taken in the direction of the restriction to motion

Front 9

Indirect techniques

Back 9

initially position the tissue away from a barrier toward relative ease or freedom of motion

Front 10

Which rang of motion is greater in length (degrees), anatomical or physiological?

Back 10

anatomical

Front 11

Biomechanical Model

Back 11

OMT would be directed toward restoring maximal motion to all joints, symmetry of length and strength to all muscles and ligaments, and symmetry of tension within the fascia

Front 12

Neurological Model

Back 12

OMT most often accomplished by treatment of the autonomic nervous system and its associated reflexes (viscerosomatic)

Front 13

Respiratory-Circulatory Model

Back 13

OMT directed to influence the movement of blood and lymph, to improve respiratory capacity, or to reduce the work of breathing. This model is useful in the treatment of cardiac and respiratory problems or to aid in the resolution of edema

Front 14

Traction

Back 14

longitudinal muscle stretch

Front 15

Kneading

Back 15

lateral muscle pressure

Front 16

inhibition

Back 16

sustained muscle pressure

Front 17

Effleurage

Back 17

stroking pressure to move fluid

Front 18

Petrissage

Back 18

squeezing pressure to move fluid

Front 19

Tapotement

Back 19

striking with the side of the hand

Front 20

Skin Rolling

Back 20

lifting the skin away from the deeper structures and "rolling" the skin fold along the body
