OPP Practical 1 Flashcards
attributed to Benjamin Rush (1745-1813)
Heroic Medicine
Benjamin Rush believed that the basis of all disease was
“physiologic tension,” particularly of the vasculature
“there is but one disease in the world” and treatment was by “depletion”
Rush: bloodletter, blistering, purging
a mercury-based cathartic that was commonly used for a variety of ailments
calomel
1864
Pivotal Year for AT Still
- personal tragedies (3 children died of spinal meningitis; infant daughter died of pneumonia; first wife died from childbirth)
- substance abuse in community (veterans addicted to alcohol/morphine)
- immersed hisself in anatomy and cadaveric dissection (grave robbing)
1874
Birth of Osteopathy
AT Still:
- “i was gradually approaching a science by study, research, and observation that would be a great benefit to the world.”
- “I flung to the breeze the banner of Osteopathy”
Four Tenets of Osteopathic Philosophy
- the body is a unit; person is a unit of mind, body, spirit
- body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, health maintenance
- structure and function are reciprocally interrelated
- rational treatment is based upon an understanding of basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function

host
hand you use most
dominant hand
exercise to determine dominant hand
clasp hands together, top hand is most likely dominant
exercise to determine dominant eye
both eyes open, circle an object, close each eye, the one with the object in the circle is dominant
why should we know the dominant hand and eye?
to know the “inherent bias” to minimize diagnostic inaccuracy
how can we minimize diagnostic inaccuracy
by knowing the inherent bias of hand and eye dominance
application of fingers to the surface of the skin or other tissues, using varying amounts of pressure, to selectively determine the condition of the parts beneath
palaption
diagnostic touching includes:
explanation of intention, nature of touching, its purpose, what the patient is likely to experience
feeling via psychomotor skills
detection
seeing structures being palpated and creating a visual mind-image
internal amplification
thinking and knowing functional anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology (between normal and abnormal)

physiological function of behavioral model
objective: optimize patient’s adaptive potential through restoring structural integrity and function
biomechanical model
objective: affect patient’s adaptive response and total homeostatic (health) potential
addresses dysfunction in respiratory mechanics, circulation, flow of body fluids
respiratory-circulatory model
central neural control, CSF fluid flow, pulmonary and cardiovascular function
central processes of the respiratory-circulatory model
arterial supply, venous and lymphatic drainage
peripheral processes of the respiratory-circulatory model
objective: focuses on impairments of neural function caused by pathophysiologic responses and the relationship btwn somatic/visceral autonomic systems
focus on reduction of mechanical stresses, balance of neural inputs, elimination of nociceptive drive
neurological model
objective: maintain balance between energy production, distribution, and expenditure
addresses dysfunction that can dysregulate production, distribution, or expenditure of energy; increase allostatic load; interfere with immunological and endocrine regulatory functions
metabolic-energy model
objective: improve body’s ability to effectively manage, compensate, or adapt to stressors
behavioral model
capable of modulating homeostatic rhythms; effecting appropriate changes necessary for promoting survival
neuroendocrine-immune system
greater pain sensation
primary hyperalgesia
non-noxious stimuli elicits sensation of pain
allodynia
most responsive system to novel or unwanted stimuli (somatic, visceral, emotional dysfunctions)
arousal system
prepares body for defense by facilitating healing, suppressing pain pathways, and modulating immune system
neuroendocrine-immune network
tendency of body to seek and maintain a condition of balance/equilibrium within its internal environment
homeostasis
maintenance of stability through change
allostasis
suppresses levels of allostatic compounds to return body to normal function
feedback control systems
convergence of multiple pathways on a common mechanism facilitate summation of differing drives to obtain
a more intense response
trauma or injury including somatic dysfunction
somatic stressors
traumatic injury, infection, or inflammation of visceral organs (subtle, diet-related events)
visceral stressors
stress response
emotional stressors
frequent activation of stress response damages the body chronically through activation of
hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis
price paid for chronic exposure to stress-mediated neuroendocrine adaptations
allostatic load
long term activation of allostatic mechanism leads to
gradual destruction of organ systems
gradual loss of effectivess of feedback pathways reestablish
normal homeostasis
degenerative and inflammatory disease
correlated to increased occurrence of cardiovascular risk
memory and depression (CNS)
multiple, complex effects on immune system
disease processes affected by allostatic load
less room for further adaptation in compensated state (structural/metabolic) to increased or new stressor
chronic compensatory state
observation of skin, static landmarks, asymmetry
static postural exam (OSE)
gait, range of motion (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, ribs, sacrum), special tests
dynamic postural exam (OSE)
designed to determine rapidly where the most significant somatic dysfunctions reside
sensitive to the discovery of the presence of dysfunction, but not specific for tissues responsible for creating/maintaining dysfunction
OSE
movement produced voluntarily by the patient
active motion
motion that induced by the practitioner while patient remains relaxed
passive motion
