5 Models of Osteopathic Care
Question | Answer |
---|---|
what is the osteopathic approach to patient care? | use of the 4 tenets of Osteopathy 1. human being is a dynamic unit of function 2. body has self-regulatory (homeostatic) mechanisms that are self-healing in nature 3. structure & function are interrelated 4. rational treatment is based on these princi |
what are the 5 Basic integrative & coordinated body functions & coping strategies? | 1. posture & motion 2. gross & cellular respiratory & circulatory factors 3. metabolic processes 4. neurologic integration 5. psychosocial, cultural, behavioral and spiritual elements |
what are the 5 models of osteopathic care? | 1. biomechanical 2. respiratory-circulatory 3. metabolic 4. neurological 5. behavioral |
what comprises the Biomechanical Model? | Structure (anatomy): bones, muscles & Function (physiology): coordination and symmetry of musculoskeletal & myofascial structures in posture & motion |
what is the goal of addressing the biomechanical model? | improve function by addressing problems in myofascial connective tissues & bony & soft tissues to remove restrictive forces & enhance motion.. accomplished w/use of OMT |
what comprises the Respiratory-Circulatory model? | structure: thoracic inlet, thoracic & pelvic diaphragms, costal cage, tenotium cerebelli function: respiration, circulation, venous & lymphatic drainage |
what is the goal of treating respiratory-circulatory model? | to improve all of the diaphragm restrictions in the body. diaphragms are transverse restrictors of motion, venous & lymph drainage & csf |
which OMT techniques best improve respiratory-circulatory function? | cranial field techniques ligamentous articular strain myofascial release lymphatic pump HVLA & MET for spinal somatic dysfunction at transition zones |
which OMT techniques best improve biomechanical function? | HVLA muscle energy counterstrain myofascial release ligamentous articular & functional techniques (wide range) |
what comprises the metabolic model? | anatomy: internal organs, endocrine glands physiology: metabolic processes, homeostasis, energy balance, regulatory processes, immunological activities & inflammation repair, digestion, absorption of nutrients, removal of waste & reproduction |
what is the goal of treating metabolic model? | enhance self-regulatory/healing mechanisms, foster energy conservation (balance energy expenditure & exchange) & enhance immune system, & endocrine/organ function |
what OMT techniques are used to improve metabolic function? | not necessarily manipulative in nature removing somatic dysfunction will facilitate efficiency of motion & decrease energy expenditure. Nutritional counseling, diet/exercise advice & conservative use of medication to improve cellular/metabolic function |
what makes up the anatomy & physiology of the neurologic model? | structure: head, brain, spinal cord, autonomic nervous systemn, peripheral nerves function: control, coordination & integration of body functions, protective mechanisms & sensation |
what is the goal of treating neurological model? | attain autonomic balance & address neural reflex activity, remove facilitated segments, decrease afferent nerve signals & relieve pain |
which OMT techniques are used to improve neurologic function? | functional, counterstrain, inhibition & chapman reflex points & any OMT that treats spinal dysfunction |
what comprises the behavioral model? | anatomy: brain physiology: physiological & social activities (anxiety, stress, work, family), habits (sleep, drug use, sexual activities, exercise, values, attitudes, beliefs) |
what is the goal of treating behavioral model? | to improve biological, psychological & social components of pt health. includes emotional balancing & compensatory mechanisms. reproductive processes & behavioral adaption too. |
what is the relationship of the MSK system to the 5 models? | -provides framework where all other systems reside -represents entry point for diagnosis & treatment -often reflects/gives clues to internal problems |
