write the 4 principles of Osteopathic Philosophy

look for 4 blank lines...
The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit
The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance
Structure and function are reciprocally interdependent
Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function
define somatic dysfunction
the impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic (body framework) system
define Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT)
the therapeutic application of manually guided forces by an osteopathic physician to improve physiologic function and/or support homeostasis that has been altered by somatic dysfunction
define Facilitation:
the maintenance of a pool of neurons in a state of partial or sub threshold excitation ; in this state, less afferent stimulation is required to trigger the discharge of impulses
what is TART
Tissue texture abnormalities
Asymmetry
Restriction of motion
Tenderness
what are the 3 motion barriers? define them..
Anatomic: the limit of motion imposed by anatomic structure; the limit of passive motion
Physiologic : the limit of active motion
Direct: may also see it called the restrictive barrier; a functional limit that abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range
define how you would perform counterstrain
Find and label tender point 10/10
Position to relieve tenderness (2/10 or less)
Fine-tune to 0/10 if possible
Hold position for 90 seconds (some schools teach 120 seconds for the ribs)
Slow passive return to neutral
Retest tender point
define how you would apply MFR
Diagnose restricted motion
Slowly move into position of laxity and follow release until completed (indirect)
Slowly move into restriction and stretch until tissue give completed (direct)
Retest motion

Stretch until give stops
Repeat 3-5 times
Retest motion

Traction – longitudinal muscle stretch
Kneading – lateral muscle pressure
Inhibition – sustained muscle pressure
Effleurage – stroking pressure to move fluid
Petrissage – squeezing pressure to move fluid

The ulnohumeral joint moves in what direction with flexion/extension?

what will this do to the carrying angle
The ulnohumeral joint passively adducts with flexion and passively abducts with extension
This cause the hand to deviate to the mouth during flexion
It is also responsible for the carrying angle
describe ulnar abduction
Restricted adduction (lateral glide)
Patient may present with pain or restriction at endpoint of flexion
Increases the carrying angle
describe Ulnar Adduction
Restricted abduction (medial glide)
Patient may present with pain or restriction at endpoint of extension
Decreases the carrying angle

how does this normally occur
Ease of motion is posterior glide
Restricted motion is anterior glide with supination

A posterior radial head somatic dysfunction is often caused by a fall forward onto an outstretched hand
Common elbow and wrist problems

Thoracic outlet syndrome
Double crush syndrome
what are thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel, and double crush syndrome

Median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel associated with numbness, and pain in the arm and hand along the median nerve distribution

Double Crush Syndrome
mixture of above

describe fryette type I

Occurs in neutral (facets not engaged)
Found in thoracic and lumbar spines
Forms long curves, multiple segments
Compensatory
describe fryette type II
Law II = when the spine is flexed or extended (non-neutral), sidebending and rotation are in the same directions. (Type II Mechanics)

Occurs in flexion or extension
Facets engaged
Occurs in thoracic and lumbar spines
Type II-like motion in cervical spine
Usually single segments
Found at apices and crossovers and/or sites of viscerosomatic reflexes
Primary somatic dysfunction
Due to strain or viscerosomatic reflex
describe fryette law III
Law III = when motion introduced in one plane it modifies (reduces) motion in other two planes

When a segment is brought up to a restrictive motion barrier it will move in the position of greatest ease in the other two planes.
Restriction = direction it won’t go.
Somatic dysfunction = defined by direction it will go with ease.
