1st Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
The mind, body & spirit are a unit
2nd Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance
3rd Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
4th Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine
Rational treatment is based upon understanding and implementing the other 3 tenets
Active ROM
Pt motivated and pt must give maximum effort
Acute Somatic Dysfunction
Immediate or short-term impairment or altered function
Characterized by: vasodilation, edema, tenderness, pain, and tissue contraction
Anatomical Barrier (AB)
limit of motion imposed by anatomical structure; limit of passive motion
Anterior Landmarks
acromion, clavicle, rib cage, umiblicus, crest of ilium, greater trochanter, patellar alignment
Articulatory Technique (ART)
- “sprining” techniques; gentle and reptetitive motions through restrictive barrier
- low velocity/high amplitude
- direct
Articulatory Technique Contraindications
- fracture/dislcoation
- neurologic entrapment syndrome
- serious vascular compromise
- local malignancy
- local infection
- bleeding disorders
Articulatory Technique Indications
well tolerated by:
- arthritic pts
- elderly or frail
- critically ill or post operative
- infants or very young patients
- patients unable to cooperate with instructions
Asymmetry
Absence of symmetry of position or motion
Asymmetry of muscles treatment goals
return symmetry and normalize tone

Axial and Appendicular Fascia (investing layer)
internal to pannicular layer; fused to panniculus and surrounds all muscles and periosteum of bone and peritendons of tendons
Barrier “end feel” characteristics
Bone to bone (elbow extension)
Soft tissue approximation (knee flexion)
Tissue stretch (finger extension)
Bind
palpable restriction of connective tissue mobility
Bogginess (tissue texture change)
tissue texture abnormality characterized by sense of sponginess in tissue (resulting from congestion due to increased fluid)
Chronic Somatic Dysfunction
Impairment or altered function of related components of the somatic system
Characterized by: tenderness, itching, fibrosis, paresthesias, tissue contraction
Concentric isotonic muscle contraction
contraction of a muscle with shortening of muscle length
Contraction
Normal tone of muscle when it shortens
