Question 1

repetitions to master neuromusculoskeletal integration?

Answer 1

10,000 repetitions or 10 years

Question 2

what are you evaluating in a patient osteopathically?

Answer 2

alterations in function and motion both locally and globallylooking for presence and absence of somatic dysfunctionused to find health in an individual (facilitate healing and health)

Question 3

what is skin drag?

Answer 3

sense of resistance to light traction applied to the skinincreased with increased sweatiness and increased sympathetic tone

Question 4

what is the red reflex?

Answer 4

rub thumbs down spine and examine any redness changesif skin remains pale or red then there may be somatic dysfunction

Question 5

different motions of the shoulder?

Answer 5

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, external rotation, internal rotation

Question 6

anatomic barrier

Answer 6

point where if you move past it muscles and ligaments tear and bones break

Question 7

physiological barrier

Answer 7

limit of active motion for patient

Question 8

passive barrier

Answer 8

beyond the patient’s physiological barrierbetween the physiological barrier and anatomic barrier

Question 9

restrictive barrier

Answer 9

caused by dysfunctionresults in a new end point to joint motion

Question 10

TART (T)

Answer 10

Textureboggy, edematous, sweaty, skin drag, warm, etc. quality and characteristics of tissue palpated by your fingers

Question 11

TART (A)

Answer 11

Asymmetryinvolves vertebral position and tissue atrophy, hypertrophy, hypotonicity, hypertonicity(colors, temp, turgor, static, motion)

Question 12

TART (R)

Answer 12

Restriction of motionarea that does not have free unrestricted rom

Question 13

TART (T) number 2

Answer 13

Tendernesssensation of pain or soreness elicited during palpation

Question 14

how many components of TART are typically present with SD

Answer 14

two or moreabsence of tart may indicate absence of SD

Question 15

skin musculature in acute vs. chronic

Answer 15

acute–> warm moist red inflamed hypertrophy increased muscle tonechronic–> decreased muscle tone, flaccid, mushy, limited rom due to contracture

Question 16

Mobility acute vs. chronic

Answer 16

acute–> rom normal but sluggish qualitychronic–> decreased rom with normal quality of motion

Question 17

Tissue acute vs chronic

Answer 17

acute–> boggy, edema, acute congestionchronic–> doughy, stringy, fibrotic, ropy, thickened chronic congestion

Question 18

Pain quality, acute vs. chronic

Answer 18

acute– severe, sharp, cuttingchronic- dull, achy, parasthesias, burning, gnawing, crawling
