Intro to OMM Flashcards
(29 cards)
Acute tissue texture changes
Edema or Boggy
Hypertonic
Warm
Acute SD Range of Motion
Restricted pain with motion
Acute SD Tenderness
Sharp
Chronic Tissue Texture Changes
Fibrotic or ropey
Hypotonic or Flaccid
Cool & Dry
Chronic SD Range of Motion
Restricted
Little to no pain
Chronic SD Tenderness
Dull or Aching
Burning
Axis for Flexion and Extension
Transverse Axis
Plane for Flexion and Extension
Sagittal
Axis for Sidebending
AP axis
Plane for Sidebending
Coronal
Axis for Rotation
Vertical
Plane for Rotation
Transverse
Physiologic barrier
Point to which a patient can actively move a given joint
Anatomic Barrier
Point at which a physician can Passively move a given joint
movement beyond is tissue disruption
Restrictive (pathologic) Barrier
Found in SD
Lies before the physiologic barrier
Prevents full ROM of the joint
Fryette’s 1st law
In a neutral position Rotation and Sidebending occur to opposite sides
Fryette’s 2nd law
in non-neutral (F/E) positions sidebending and rotation occur to the same side
Fryette’s 3rd Law
Initiating motion in any plane of motion will limit the mobility in the other planes
Cervical Facet Orientation
Backwards, Upward, Medial (BUM)
Cervical Facet Primary Motion
Rotation
Thoracic Facet Orientation
Backwards, Upwards, Lateral (BUL)
Thoracic Facet Primary motion
Rotation
Lumbar Facet Orientation
Backwards, Medial (BM)
Lumbar Facet Primary Motion
F/E
