List the models of treatment
Neurologic
Metabolic-Energetic
Biomechanical
Respiratory-Circulatory
Behavioral
Briefly describe the neurologic model of goal of Tx of somatic dysfunction
Influence viscero-somatic relationships
Briefly describe the goals of treatment of somatic dysfunction in the behavioral model
Relieve pain
Osteopathic treatment is not aimed at “turning the system up or down,” but:
But at removing the dysfunctions to allow the body to restore a more appropriate autonomic balance
T/F: You can only have too much parasympathetic overriding sympathetic drive and vice versa
False, can have too much Parasympathetic and Sympathetic drive in both systems at the same time
Related to the __________ model, what is sensitization
Somatic dysfunction increases the excitability the involved neurons, meaning less of an impulse is needed to cause the action of the nerve to happen
In simplest terms what is spinal facilitation
- Nerve is always firing even when body is at rest
- In this state there is less afferent stimulation needed to discharge impluses
Define: Somatosomatic reflex
Localized somatic stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related somatic structures
Define somatovisceral reflex
Localized somatic stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related visceral structures
Define: viscerosomatic reflex
Localized visceral stimuli producing patterns of reflex response in segmentally related somatic structures
What are the two forms of viscerosomatic reflexes
- Sensory, i.e. referred pain
- Motor response, i.e. triggered and maintained visceral activity
Describe the goal metabolic energetic model to treat somatic dysfunction
Decrease energy output or expenditure
- Enhance the self-regulatory and self-healing mechanisms to foster energy conservation and enhance function
What is the thoraco-abdominopelvic cylinder?
- Descent of the diaphragm creates a relative negative intra-thoracic pressure, to draw inflow of air and fluid for low pressure venous return & lymphatics
What is the osteopathic model of treatment based on the goal: To improve breathing and blood circulation
Respiratory circulatory
What is the osteopathic model of treatment corresponding to the goal of treatment: To decrease facilitation of the phrenic nerve secondary to a spastic diaphragm
Neurologic
What is the common compensatory pattern?
- Common fascial distortion and its effect on the respiratory circulatory systems of the body
- Common somatic dysfunctions throughout the entire population
- Accounts for “asymptomatic” dysfunctions
What causes the S4 sound? When does it occur?
Occurs at the end of ventricular filling (diastole) due to the vibration of the ventricular walls making sound after atrial contraction forces more blood into the ventricles
In cardiac muscle, during which phase is potassium permeability the greatest?
Phase 3
What occurs immediately after the QRS wave?
Ventricles begin to contract in isovolumic contraction only since electrical events precede mechanical
In cardiac muscle, when is sodium permeability the highest?
Phase 1
How long does it take for an action potential to travel from the SA node to the AV node?
0.03 seconds
What is the heart rate at the AV node?
What about the Purkinje?
AV node: 40-60 BPM
Purkinje: <40 BPM
What is the pressure in the aorta?
130/90
What is the pressure in the Left ventricle?
130/10
