BASICS An impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic system: skeletal, arthroidial, and myofascial structures and related vascular, lymphatic and neural elements is Somatic Dysfunction (SD) Is SD named for the dysfunction (freedom) or the restriction (barrier)? o The freedom is the way the joint likes to go! What does TART stand for? o T t issue texture change o A asymmetry o o R T

Dysfunction (freedom)

restriction t enderness

Which one of the above is most important for naming a dysfunction? R- Restriction When a patient can move a joint through a full range of motion (FROM) without help, what is it called? Active motion When a doc performs the FROM for the patient, it is called

p assive motion p hysiologic barrier Anatomic barrier Physiologic barrier Ligament/tendon/skeletal injury Restrictive/pathologic barrier

What is the barrier reached during active range of motion by the patient? What is the barrier reached during passive range of motion by the doctor? Movement beyond the anatomic barrier can cause what? What is this new barrier with lack of FROM called? Which barrier is shortened when a somatic dysfunction is present in a joint?

If a barrier is reset, what also must be reset? The neutral position The next 4 questions concern ACUTE SD changes: What type of tissue texture changes will be present? Warm, swollen, boggy, increased moisture Is asymmetry present, and if so, has it been compensated for? Yes, non-compensated Is there pain present upon movement of the joint? Yes, motion restricted Describe the tenderness Severe, sharp The next 4 questions concern CHRONIC SD changes: What type of tissue texture changes will be present? Decreased or no edema, NO erythema, cool dry skin, w/ slight tension, decreased muscle tone, flaccid, ropy, fibrotic Is asymmetry present, and if so, has it been compensated for? Yes, compensation present in other areas of the body Is motion restricted, and if so, is it painful? Yes, but little to no pain Describe the tenderness d ull, achy, burning Fryettes First Law is described as: o Starts from a neutral position o Sidebending precedes rotation o Sidebending and rotation occur to opposite sides o Rotation occurs towards the convexity o Applies to a group of vertebrae (>2) o EX: T5-T9 N SLRR Which Transverse Processes (TPs) are more posterior? The right side TPs Fryettes Second Law is described as: o Starting from a non-neutral position (flexed or extended) o Rotation precedes sidebending o Rotation and sidebending occur to the same side o Rotation occurs away from the convexity, toward the concavity o Applies to a single vertebra o EX: T8 E RRSR or ERSR What vertebral segments to Fryette Laws I and II apply to? Thoracic and Lumbar, NOT cervical When naming the dysfunction, it is common to relate the dysfunctional segment to the segment below it. o EX: T6 is restricted in flexion, rotation and sidebending to the right in relation to T7 (soT6 E RLSL) What does Fryettes Third Law state? Motion introduced in one plane limits and modifies motion in the other planes o What part of the spine does this apply to? Cervical spine In order to evaluate a SD, what is the stepwise process you must perform to name/find a SD? o First- assess rotation by placing your thumbs over the TP of each segment, the TP that is more posterior is the side the segment is rotated to EX: If your left thumb is more posterior than your right thumb, then the vertebra is rotated left o Second- assess rotation while in flexion and extension, do the TPs line up while placing the segment in flexion/extension, does the already more posterior TP become MORE posterior, or does it NOT change at all If gets better in flexion (i.e. symmetry restored) it is a flexion dysfunction (ex: F RLSL)

If gets better in extension it is an extension dysfunction (ex: E RLSL) If the rotation remains the same whether in flexion or extension, the segment is neutral (i.e. follows Type I Fryette) What is the orientation of SUPERIOR facets in the cervical region? BUM (backward, upward, medial)

What is the orientation of SUPERIOR facets in the thoracic region? What is the orientation of SUPERIOR facets in the lumbar region?

BUL (backward, upward, lateral) BM (backward, medial)

Coronal Plane, AP Axis Sidebending What type of muscle contraction results in approximation of the muscles origin and insertion WITHOUT a change in tension? Isotonic Contraction o Operators force < Patients force What type of muscle contraction results in an INCREASE in tension WITHOUT an approximation of origin and insertion? Isometric contraction o Operators force = patients force What type of muscle contraction occurs AGAINST RESISTANCE WHILE FORCING the muscle to lengthen? Isolytic contraction o Operators force > patients force What is the difference between concentric and eccentric contraction? Concentric contraction results in approximation of the muscles origin and insertion while eccentric contraction is lengthening of the muscle during contraction due to an external force Direct treatment is directed TOWARDS the barrier Indirect treatment is directed During active treatment the patient During passive treatment the patient

AWAY from the barrier ASSISTS RELAXES

What types of techniques are considered only DIRECT? Chapmans reflexes, lymphatic treatment, HVLA, and Muscle Energy (ME-rarely indirect) o Are these considered active or passive? ALL but ME are passive o Muscle energy and myofascial release are the only 2 techniques that are active What types of techniques are considered only INDIRECT? Counterstrain and FPR o Are these active or passive? Passive

What 2 techniques are both indirect AND direct? Myofascial Release and Cranial OMT o Cranial is passive, myofascial release can be active or passive When is it NOT OK to use HVLA? A pt w/ advanced osteoporosis, metastatic cancer, and more often than not acute neck strain/sprains Elderly and hospitalized pts typically respond better to i ndirect techniques Typical guidelines regarding dose/frequency of OMT: o Limit OMT to key areas in sick pts o Allow time for the pts body to respond to the treatment o Pediatric pts can be treated more frequently than geriatric pts o Acute cases should have a shorter interval bw trmts, and as the response increases, the interval can increase Typical guidelines regarding sequence of treatment; o Treat the ribs and upper thoracic spine BEFORE the cervical spine o Treat T-spine BEFORE ribs o Treat peripherally then move to the acute area of SD o Perform cranial treatment BEFORE other OMT to help pt relax o Treat spine, sacrum and ribs BEFORE treating extremities CERVICAL SPINE Which cervical vertebrae are considered atypical?

Ch 15: MUSCLE ENERGY Pt actively uses muscles on request, from a precisely controlled position in a specific direction, against a distinctly executed counterforce Can be active direct or active indirect technique (indirect rare) Types of ME o Postisometric relaxation (direct tech) 1. Place pt into restriction ( into barrier) = opposite the diagnosis 2. Then pt contracts against counterforce of doc = isometric contraction 1. Distance bw origin and insertion of muscle stays the same! stretches the internal connective tissues 3. Golgi tendon organ sense this tension in muscle tendons and causes a reflex relaxation of agonist muscle fibers allows doc to stretch to a new barrier 4. EX- biceps is in spasm extend elbow to restriction, have pt flex against resistance for 3-5 sec, relax, repeat o Reciprocal inhibition 1. Contracts antagonist muscles! 1. Sends signals to spinal cord and thru reciprocal inhibition reflex arc the agonist is forced to relax 2. CAN BE DONE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY 3. Direct 1. EX- biceps spasm extend elbow to restriction, have pt contract TRICEPS against resistance 4. Indirect 1. EX- biceps spasm flex elbow away from barrier, have pt contract TRICEPS against resistance o Joint mobilization using muscle force 1. Helps restore normal ROM in a joint using muscle contraction 2. EX contract hip flexors helps pull innominate anterior in a posterior innominate SD o Oculocephalogyric reflex 1. Uses extraocular muscle contraction to effect cervical and truncal muscles o Respiratory assistance 1. Uses pts voluntary respiratory motion 2. Most Rib inhalation SD are treated this way o Crossed extensor reflex 1. Typically used in extremities that are so severely injured or not accessible that direct manipulation is impossible 2. EX- contraction of right biceps produces relaxation of left biceps and contraction of left triceps Typical steps 1. Position joint or bone into the barrier in all planes of motion 2. Tell pt to reverse direction 3. Pt contracts to move joint away from barrier 4. Doc maintains counterforce for 3-5 secs til contraction is perceived at critical articulation (isometric contraction) 5. Doc tells pt to relax, and doc relaxes as well (post isometric relaxation phase) 1. During relaxation Doc takes up slack in joint (passive lengthening) 6.

What it does aids dx of carpal tunnel 2. Doc taps over volar aspect of pts transverse carpal ligament 3. Positive same as above 4. Also can be used to dx neuropathies of ulnar nerve at elbow, peroneal nerve at fibular head, and posterior tibial nerve at ankle LUMBAR SPINE 1. Hip drop 1. What it does assesses SB of lumbar spine and thoracolumbar junction 2. Pt standing, doc locates superior and lateral aspect of iliac crest 3. Pt is told to bend one knee without lifting heel from floor 4. Positive anything less than a smooth convexity in the l-spine of the ipsilateral side, or a drop of the crest less than 20-25 degrees 2. Straight leg raise (Laseques) 1. What it does evals sciatic nerve compression 2. Pt supine, doc grasps leg to be tested under the heel and places other hand on anterior knee to keep it extended 3. Doc lifts leg up flexing the hip until pt feels discomfort (normal = 70-80 degrees) 4. Once pt feels pain- doc lower leg a little and dorsiflexes the foot (Braggards test) 1. This stretches the sciatic nerve 5. If no pain = negative test, problem is a tight hamstring 6. If pain spreads all the way down leg = positive sciatic origin SACRUM AND INNOMINATES 1. Seated flexion 1. What it does tests sacroiliac motion 2. Pt seated with both feet flat on floor 3. Doc locates PSIS and places thumbs on inferior notch 4. Pt bends forward, doc assess PSIS level 5. Positive PSISs are not level, SD on side of superior PSIS 2. Standing flexion 1. What it does tests iliosacral motion 2. Same as seated, except pt is standing 3. ASIS compression 1. What it does helps determine side of SI dysfx (sacrum, innominate or pubes) 2. Pt supine, doc contacts ASISs and applies posterior compression to each, while stabilizing the other 3. Positive on the side where there is resistance (no resiliency) 4. Pelvic side shift 1. What it does determines if sacrum is midline 2. Pt standing 3. doc stabilizes right shoulder with right hand, and pushes pelvis to right with left hand 4. doc stabilizes left shoulder with left hand, and pushes pelvis left with right hand 5. positive on side with freer translation of pelvis indicates pelvis is shifted to that side 1. Often seen in flexion contracture of psoas o Flexion contracture of right psoas will cause a pos pelvic shift to the left 5. Trendelenbergs 1. What it does assesses gluteus medius muscle strength 2. Doc stands behind pt 3. Pt picks one leg up off the floor 4. Positive pelvis falls on the same side the leg is lifted = opposite gluteus medius is weak 6. Lumbosacral spring 1. What it does assesses if sacral base is tilted posterior

2. Pt prone, doc place heel of hand over lumbosacral junction 3. Doc applies gentle and rapid springing over junction 4. Positive = posterior sacral base, little or no springing Backward bending (sphinx) 1. What it does determines if sacral base has moved posterior or anterior 2. Pt prone, doc places thumbs on superior sulci will be asymmetric 3. Have pt prop up onto elbows causes base to move anterior 1. If thumbs become more symmetric part of base moved anterior 2. If thumbs become more asymmetric part of base moved posterior 4. Positive if sacral base is posterior Obers 1. 2. 3. What it does detects tight tensor fascia lata and iliotibial band Pt lies on side opposite iliotibial band being tested Doc stands behind pt and flexes knee to 90, abducts hip as far as possible and slight extends hip, while stabilizing pelvis to keep pt from rolling 4. Doc allows thigh to fall towards table 5. Positive thigh remains in abducted position = tight band Patricks (FABERE) 1. What it does assesses pathology of sacroiliac and hip joint esp OA of hip 2. Pts hip is Flexed, ABducted, Externally Rotated and Extended into a figure 4 position 3. Positive = pain in or around the hip joint, 1. accentuated pain (due to arthritic changes) when doc places one hand on opposite ASIS and other on bended knee and applies pressure on both Thomas 1. What it does assesses possibility of flexion contracture of hip (usually due to iliopsoas) 2. Pt supine, doc checks for exaggerated lumbar lordosis (common in flexion contracture) 3. Doc flexes one hip and knee so that knee and anterior thigh touch pts abdomen 4. Positive if opposite leg lifts off table Anterior and posterior drawer test 1. What it does assess anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments 2. Pt supine with hip flexed to 45 and knee flexed to 90 3. Doc sits on pts foot, wraps hands around behind tibia, and places one thumb on medial and lateral joint lines 4. ACL tibia is pulled anteriorly 1. Positive ACL tear if slides forward 5. PCL tibia is pushed posteriorly 1. Positive PCL tear if slides back 6. Must compare both knees Bounce home 1. What it does evals problems with full knee extension usually bc of meniscal tears or joint effusions 2. Pt supine, doc grasps heel 3. Knee is flexed completely, then is allowed to drop into full extension 4. Positive if extension is incomplete or there is a rubbery feel to end point extension Apleys compression and distraction 1. What it does evals meniscus and ligamentous structures of knee 2. Pt prone, knee flexed to 90 3. Compression doc presses straight down on heel and internally and externally rotates the tibia 1. Positive = pain = meniscal tear 4. Distraction doc pulls up on foot and internally and externally rotates tibia 1. Positive = pain = ligamentous injury (usually medial/lateral collateral ligs) Lachmans 1. What it does assess stability of ACL (more accurate than draw test) 2. Pt supine, doc grasps proximal tibia with one hand and distal femur with other 3. Knee flexed to 30 and tibia is pulled forward with hand 4. Positive tibia excessively moves forward from under femur McMurrays 1. What it does detects tears in posterior aspect of menisci 2. Medial meniscus 1. Pts knee is fully flexed 2. Tibia is externally rotated and valgus stress is placed on the knee 3. Maintain this position and slowly extend the knee 4. Positive = palpable or audible click = posterior tear of medial meniscus 3. Lateral meniscus 1. Same, except internally rotate and varus stress is applied Patellar grind 1. What it does assess posterior articular surfaces of patella and possible chondromalacia patellae 2. Pt supine with knees extended and relaxed 3. Doc pushes patella distally and asks pt to contract quads 4.

Positive = pain, bc roughness of surface will grind and be palpable and painful with contraction and mvmt of patella Valgus (pic to the left) and varus (pic to the right) stress 1. What it does assess stability of collateral ligaments 2. Pt supine or sitting 3. Knee flexed, doc stabilizes ankle while pushes against knee medially, then laterally 4. Valgus stress test = lateral force, knee goes medially, tibia goes out (valgus) 1. Tests medial collateral ligament 5. Varus stress test = medial force, knee goes laterally, tibia goes in (varus) 1. Tests lateral collateral ligament 6. Positive if there is any gapping on the opposite side of the force, that ligament is torn

ANKLE 1. Anterior draw 1. What it does assess medial and lateral ligs of ankle mainly talofibular lig, but also superficial and deep deltoid 2. Pt supine, doc grasps distal tibia/fibula with one hand and pulls foot forward with other hand grasping posterior aspect of calcaneus 1. Foot should be held in 20 degrees of dorsiflexion the whole time 3. Positive excessive mvmt of talus under tibia/fibula (bilateral injury) 1. If deviates to one side ligament on opposite side is damaged
